I love how Merlin's magic seems to be a character on its own and at moments separate (and in disagreement) from Merlin. That tiger, didn't really see that coming, but as a plot device it worked very well. This chapter was very thrilling and full of action. Love the idea of Merlin in Arthur's home. The resulting clatter of crockery outside the door, complete with an exceedingly polished voice cursing, had Merlin burying his face into the pillow and Morgana howling with laughter. This was maybe my favorite part, I love the idea of rattled Arthur. Especially if he's in the closet as much as he seems to be. I'm also going to believe that that hand that squeezed Merlin the third time was Arthur's because it is so fitting with the glory hole this time (I love how those particular situations are becoming more intimate and more meaningful as the story progresses).
