I'm on S2E10 of Merlin... D'you think the creators KNEW how many episodes they were going to devote to "woman (derogatory) tries/is used to access power by magically seducing prince and/or king"?

I actually don't hate this kind of plot. God knows it's fun. One of the things I'm enjoying about Merlin is that compared to grim historical fantasies being made right now, it's a mix of romantic sincerity and silly, light-hearted bullshit. These plots enable that. Buuut in the absence of a satisfying distaff version of this repeated plot line (S1E06 comes closest so far, and that's the one in which the con man uses magic to make Morgana sick then promises a cure in a play to oust Gaius, ruin his career, and replace him as court physician so he can get close enough to murder Uther), it begins to feel a little repetitive and a tiny bit sexist.

I think what would fix this problem for me is just a version where a charming rogue tries to seduce Morgana, and is only defeated at long last when Gwen smashes him over the head with a vase, breaking his concentration and his sorcerous allure.

So... does that happen at some point in canon for this series or do I have to write it?
