Merlin was obeying. He didn't even bat an eye whenever the two knights who were up tried to get his attention. Then again, the ones he had the largest connection with were still out. So far, only Leon and Percival. The others had bonded with Merlin in a stronger way than Leon and Percival.

Those two would not stop pleading with Merlin, they would not give up on their friend. After about 5 minutes, Elyan had also woken up.He tried and tried and tried also. 10 minutes later, It was gwen's turn. Still no sign of them Breaking Morgana's spell.

30 minutes passed and Gwaine got up. This time, Merlin at least has looked at them but then returned to his original state. He didn't show recognition after that until Lancelot woke, which was 5 minutes later. This time, Merlin gave them a look. They weren't sure what it meant but, didn't say anything until Mordred woke about 15 minutes later.
" Are you trying to get yourselves killed?! If Morgana thinks you are all awake she will kill you even if my body doesn't alert her! Just keep quiet!" Merlin's mouth didn't move, so they were confused on how they heard it and why he referred to himself as 'my body. They kept quiet anyway.

When the Ambrosia knights woke up, the others made sure they were quiet.
When Arthur had finally woken up, they weren't able to tell him to shut his trap soon enough. Merlin left to get Morgana leaving Camelot's king to the wrath of his knights, his wife and his guest knights. They scolded him and Gwen hit him upside the head.

Merlin came back with Morgana.
" Well, lucky for you, Merlin here gave me a better idea instead of killing you. First, I should tell you, Merlin's soul is no longer in his body, so we won't have a mishap again like we had with Gwen, and that is how I know this new plan will not fail. Merlin put them on their new positions, along with everyone else" She cackled and all of a sudden they all appeared in different rooms.

The Ambrosia knights found themselves still in the dungeon, just each of them were in a different cell.
They tried to speak to each other but realized none of them could make any noise. They were frozen too, so they couldn't use the chains to do morse code or something. One thing, Morgana didn't know about their magic so they sent MM ( mind messages).

The round table knights, excluding Gwaine, Mordred and Arthur, were forced to work in the armory and if they don't they get whipped by a guard.

Gwaine and Mordred were chained up in Arthurs chambers, where they will soon start serving one of Morgana's companions.

Gwen was chained in Morgana's old room, as she will be serving Morgana again.

Arthur found himself alone. He was in a secret room, hidden under the castle. There was a guard and Arthur saw behind the guard there were many weapons.

None of them were aware of what the other's job was, but they hoped they didn't have it bad. They hoped Merlin's soul would find it's way back to his body. They hoped maybe one of the others could help save them. They hoped and hoped and hoped. They wished they even believed in hope, even if it was there. And it was, they were just too blind to see the painful expression on both Merlin's and Morgana's faces.
