Morgana has basically become the witch from legend, apparently wholly evil and working with Morgause at every opportunity to take over Camelot since she has found out that she is secretly Uther's illegitimate daughter, and therefore has a claim to the throne.
The only people aware that she is practicing black magic were Gaius and Merlin until Gwen witnessed it too.
Recently Morgana had a dream where Gwen was being crowned Arthur's Queen and she arranged it so Uther would learn of Arthur and Gwen's feelings for each other. This almost got Gwen banished from the Kingdom and then burnt at the stake for being a witch and enchanting Arthur when he chose to leave with her.
Of course Merlin thwarts her every plan. After this didn't work, Morgause joined forces with a local warlord and created an army of immortals with which they attacked and took Camelot and put Morgana on the throne as the new Queen.
That brings you uptodate to just before the finale as I haven't watched that yet. If you're an old-Morgana fan you are probably disappointed, but I kind of relish her as evil!Morgana because the actress plays it with such flare and delicious darkness.
As for Arthur/Morgana there was an episode where Arthur told Merlin that Morgana was 'like a sister to him' so the show is clearly steering us with legend, towards Arthur/Gwen.
