Who honestly cares what happens to Lancelot or Guinevere, they were never very important. Better to have the focus on the main characters, instead of characters who will just disappear. Arthur and Merlin were the only ones who were intended, to play a major role. Which is totally fine, because they are portrayed by stronger actors.

Regarding Gold.... he obviously will survive his dual with Dark Hook, so something important clearly takes happens. Agreed on the last statement and the first.

However, the Camelot crew shouldn't be the main focus as you said, but they didn't really do it right. MErida has had a better focus than Most of the Camelot crew and she's not really relevant. The Camelot crew became less and less relevant as the season progresses. So, instead of them being minor factors, they sort of surged and then plummeted in focus. It's the age old question: Why have them if they don't do anything? By this, I mean Gwen, for evxample. the last few episodes, she has done ntohing. I mean I guess Joana gets paid to do nothing relevant, but the character pretty much sits there and looks pretty and might say one line. They could have had Lancelot say he will find a way to save Gwen or ask Merlin for a potion of some sort, but no! they just don't care to mention it. Merlin is important, of course, but Arthur is being affected by the oversaturation of villainy. Whos' the villain? Arthur, Emma, or Hook, or Nimue? I thoguth this was Emma's time to shine as a villain, but thenn Arthur became an anti-hero into a full straightjacket killer. I agree. They'te not important and they shouldn't have made an entire episode about them. Well, I disagree with you a tad Farerb. They deserved and episode or so, but they should have restructured it in a way to make them have a subplot based on the main plot and not sort of drop it off. They should have had Lancelot talk to Snow about adultery again or something and continue what they started.

It's sort of like 4b. The Queens had all the promotion, but it wasn';t really about them. However, they did have subplots (well, Maleficent did at least) that led to something. The Camelot crew didn't have that. They tried the dropping off technique they did with the QODs but they had a reason and tied to the Villains don't get happy endings. Gwen and Lance don't tie into the plot, not even Arthur really matters anymore, but the problem isn't them having an episode, it's starting something they didn't really live out.

It's almost like if the search for Anna in season 4 was interrupted by the core characters dating and having a family drama over Emma using magic then remember that Anna's missing in the finale. It happened but that delay was a small part of season 4a. Here, Gwen and Lance are treated like the Apprentice, they leave them inside the hat "or offscreen" until they need them to do something in the plot at the finale.
