Another great reaction! I love that no is really right or wrong in this one, Uther has issues for sure- but in this one he's just trying to do the best by his people and I fully respect that. Same goes for Merlin, he had to save Gwen's father, but he didn't think through how it would look to others. Such a good balance.
Also, no spoilers, but, if you weren't shipping Merthur before the next episode...
