7. The Titans

teleplay:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster

King Sysiphus captures Death (Hades' sister). While she's chained, the suffering can not die. Hades asks Xena to help set her free. Doomed romance for Gabrielle, again! Although this one really is quite cute.(Gabrielle is wearing her Amazon outfit here-was this one made later but shown first?)

13. Athens City Academy of the Performing Bards
writer:R J Stewart & Steven L Sears

14. Fistful of Dinars
writer: Steven L Sears & R J Stewart
director:Josh Becker

15. Warrior...Princess
writer:Brenda Lilly
director:Michael Levine
Lucy Lawless does double duty, as Xena helps a King foil the attempts on his daughter, Princess Diana's life, by switching places with her..as they are exact doubles! Very funny to see Xena as sweetie Diana and drippy Diana as a weepy Xena!

16. Mortal Beloved
writer:R J Stewart
director:Garth Maxwell

19. Altared States

20. Ties That Bind
writer:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster
director:Charles Siebert

Disclaimer:-
No Fathers, Spiritual or Biological, were harmed during the production of this motion picture.

21. The Greater Good
writer:Steven L Sears
director:Gary Jones
After a poisonous dart seemingly kills Xena, Gabrielle must step up in this extremely dramatic episode. Salmoneus makes his second appearance, and who can forget Gabrielle:Warrior Princess! Much great acting, especially by Renee O'Connor.
Disclaimer:-
Excessive belching can cause brain damage and social ostracism. Kids, please don't give in to peer pressure. Play it safe.

22. Callisto
writer:R J Stewart
director:T J Scott

23. Deathmask
writer:Peter Allan Fields
director:Stewart Main
Xena runs into her brother, and together they battle the warlord that originally attacked their village where their brother, Lyceus was killed & where Xena began her warrior life. The guest star was obviously chosen for his similarity to Lucy Lawless. Not much similarity between them and Lyceus though.(se Remember Nothing.)
Disclaimer:-
No Messenger Doves were harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, several were reportedly missing in action and search-and-rescue efforts are under way.

24. Is There A Doctor In The House?
writer:Patricia Manney
director:T J Scott
Xena shows her healing skills in this ER-like healing temple amidst a war zone and ends up almost losing Gabrielle. Very dramatic/moving episode. We also see Ephiny from Hooves & Harlots.
Disclaimer:-
Being that War is Hell, lots of people were harmed during the production of this motion picture (but since television is a dramatic medium of make believe, all casualties removed their prosthetic make-up and went home unscathed).

SECOND SEASON

Orphan of War
writer:Steven L Sears
director:Charles Siebert
Xena helps the Centaurs battle against their greatest evil. During this, we meet Xena's 10 yr old son, Solan. Who she gave up to the centaurs to raise. A moving ending scene featuring more excellent acting from Lucy Lawless.
Disclaimer:-

1. Remember Nothing
story:Steven L Sears & Chris Manheim
teleplay:Chris Manheim
director:Anson Williams
The three faces of fate send Xena to a life where she never chose the life of a warrior, Lyceus is still alive and the Warrior Princess never existed...BUT only until she draws blood in anger. Village girl Xena is an interesting sight, but poor old Gabrielle is much worse off as an embittered slave. Old villains return in this very good episode.
Disclaimer:-
Xena's memory was not damaged or...what was I saying?

2. Giant Killer
writer:Terence Winter
director:Gary Jones
Xena & Gabrielle help David defeat Goliath. Unfortunately, Goliath is an old friend of Xena's. The giant SFX are more convincing than the centaurs at least.

3. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
writer:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster
director:T J Scott

4. Return of Callisto
writer:RJ Stewart
director: TJ Scott
Perdicus returns into Gabby's life and they marry. Callisto escapes from prison and later seeks her revenge on Xena through Gabrielle. We see another side to Gabrielle, and Xena's concern for her friend. Very good episode.
Disclaimer:-
Although Xena finally conquered her dark nemesis Callisto, it took her weeks to get the sand out of her leather unmentionables.

5. Warrior, Princess, Tramp
writer:RJ Stewart
director:Josh Becker
Lucy as Xena again visits Lucy as Princess Diana with a new twist, another look-a-like, Tramp; Meg! Joxer also appears as a potential love for Meg, which naturally gets very confusing. More laughs, and good acting from Lucy Lawless.
Disclaimer:-
Neither Xena nor her remarkably coincidental identical twin, Diana, were harmed during the production of this motion picture. Meg, however, suffered minor injuries while preparing Aardvark nuggets for King Lias.

6. Intimate Stranger
writer:Steven L Sears
director:Gary Jones
With the help of Ares and Xena's guilt, Callisto switches bodies with Xena...leaving her in the underworld. Wonderful acting seeing Lucy as Callisto and Hudson as Xena. In the end, Xena triumphs but the bodies are still switched!
Disclaimer:-
Argo was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, she is undergoing intensive psycho-therapy to help her work through her resentment and feelings of distrust towards Xena.

7. Ten Little Warlords
writer:Paul Robert Coyle
director:Charles Siebert
Xena (still in Callisto's body) helps Ares who has lost his god-hood leaving people without control over their anger..including Gabrielle. In the end, we finally have the bodies switched back to normal, (but is that really Lucy Lawless or a body double in the final scene?)
Disclaimer:-
No one was harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, Xena's ability to recover her body was severely impeded by Lucy Lawless' unexpected mishap.

8. A Solstice Carol
writer:Chris Manheim
director:John T Kretchmer
Santa Claus, Jesus' birth and A Christmas Carol with a Xena twist in this holiday episode. Xena and Gabrielle attempt to bring the season's greetings to a kingdom ruled by a Scrooge like king, where the annual winter solstice celebrations have been forbidden. More accents from Lucy Lawless, lots of nice little jokes, a donkey and a very attractive Hercules puppet.
Disclaimer:-
Senticles was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, several chimneys are in dire need of repair.

9. Xena Scrolls
story:Robert Sidney Melette
teleplay:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster
director:Charlie Haskell
This Indiana Jones spoof finds Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer's descendants in the 1940's digging up the tomb of Ares, releasing him and Xena as they fight it out. Lucy once again displays her talent for accents, as her descendant, Mel (from South Carolina), and Renee O'Connor is Janis Covington, an archaeologist. Great fun. Executive producer Robert Tapert gets to play himself here.
Disclaimer:-
No Hollywood producers were harmed during the production of this motion picture.

10. Here She Comes..Miss Amphipolis
writer:Chris Manheim
director:Marina Sargenti
Salmoneus (who else?) is running a Miss Known World Pageant where trouble is afoot. Xena goes undercover as a contestant to find the villain. Very funny episode, watch out for Miss Artiphys and Xena's new look.

11. Destiny
story:Robert Tapert
teleplay:RJ Stewart & Steven L Sears

Disclaimer:-
Julius Caesar was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, the Producers deny responsibility for any unfortunate acts of betrayal occurring soon thereafter.

story:Chris Manheim & Steven L Sears & RJ Stewart
teleplay:Steven L Sears
director:Michael Levine
Gabrielle, while bringing Xena's body home to Amphipolis, encounters the Amazons (with Ephiny) to find she is the new Amazon queen. Meanwhile, Autolycus finds Xena's spirit inside him. Together, they must steal Xena's body from the Amazons, defeat an evil Amazon and reach Ambrosia to bring Xena back. Absolutely fabulous episode featuring a great performance from Renee O'Connor, really holding it all together. Lucy isn't in it much, but this is a very dramatic and emotional episode.
Disclaimer:-
Xena's body was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, it took weeks for Autolycus to get his swagger back.

13. A Necessary Evil
writer:Paul Robert Coyle
director:Mark Beesley
The evil Amazon Velasca, from "Quest" has eaten some Ambrosia, become a God, and is after Gabrielle's blood. Ephiny appears again along with other Amazons. Xena gets Callisto (now immortal since Herc's "Surprise" ep) to help them defeat her. The third in this mini-arc of episodes is another good one. How many times can Callisto really be brought back though?
Disclaimer:-
The reputation of the Amazon Nation was not harmed despite Velasca's overly radical adherence to an otherwise valid belief system.

14. A Day in the Life
writer:RJ Stewart
director:Michael Hurst
Directed by Michael Hurst, this is a look at Xena and Gabrielle's day to day life. A treat for subtext fans, but all fans of the humourous side of the series must have enjoyed this one. We see Xena and Gabrielle in a very different mood; playful, bickering, and in different situations. Baths, eels, pans, whips and and interesting discussion on Xena's appeal to men!
Disclaimer:- No slippery eels were harmed during the production of this motion picture despite their reputation as a fine delicacy in select cultures of the known world.

15. For Him the Bell Tolls
writer:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster
director:Josh Becker
Joxer returns in an episode that involves a goddess and owes much to the film The Court Jester. Not much Xena and Gabrielle has to follow Joxer around. A so-so episode.
Disclaimer:- The producers wish to acknowledge the inspiration of Danny Kaye and pay tribute to the classic motion picture, The Court Jester.

16. The Execution
writer:Paul Robert Coyle
director:Garth Maxwell
Meleager the mighty returns and is accused of murder. Xena and Gabrielle are at odds over his innocence and there is a little friction. Slightly disappointing episode.
Disclaimer:By popular demand, 'The Executioner' will bring back his comfortable lightweight cottonflax blend robe in a variety of spring colours.

17. Blind Faith
writer:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster
director:Josh Becker
Gabrielle is kidnapped, Xena is blinded, but does she give up? Not on your nelly! A comedic episode for Gabrielle-sort of, but poor old Xena has a tough time what with being blinded and having ANOTHER young warrior out to kill her.
Disclaimer:Once again Gabrielle's luck with men was harmed during the production of this motion picture.

18. Ulysses
writer:RJ Stewart
director:Michael Levine
Better known as Odysseus to his Greek pals, Ulysses is a love interest for Xena, while Gabrielle gets very seasick. Xena and Gabrielle finally meet Poseidon and take to the seas.
Disclaimer: Despite Gabrielle's incessant hurling, Ulysses' ship was not harmed during the prodution of this motion picture.

19. The Price
writer:Steven L Sears
director:Oley Sassone
Xena reverts to a more aggressive life to fight a battle against a seemingly unstoppable and mysterious group called The Horde in this dark but gripping episode.
Disclaimer: To show sympathy for the Horde, "Kaltaka" was only served upon request during the production of this motion picture.

20. Lost Mariner
writer:Steven L Sears
director:Garth Maxwell
Xena and Gabrielle take to the high seas once more. More seasickness, doomed ships, pirates and Xena saving the day with possibly her most outrageously gravity defying acrobatics yet.
Disclaimer:Cecrops' "joie de vivre" was not harmed during the production of this motion picture.

21. A Comedy of Eros
writer:Chris Manheim
director:Charles Siebert
Cupid's young son shoots wild arrows and Xena, Gabrielle, Joxer and Draco fall in love with unexpected people in this slightly disappointing comic finale.
Disclaimer: No cherries were harmed in the production of this motion picture

Second Season

1. The Furies
writer:RJ Stewart
director:Gilbert Shilton
Sounds grim- the Furies tormenting Xena after she refuses to avenge her father's murder, and discovers that the killer was..... Also quite a lot of physical comedy as Xena goes nuts! Not quite as dark as it was supposed to be, with LL doing a fair impersonation of the Three Stooges during her nutty phase. 

DISCLAIMER: Xena's sanity was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. The Furies, however, will be opening their own lap dancing variety show off-off-off Broadway soon.

2. Been There, Done That
writer:Hilary J Bader
director:Andrew Merrifield
A 'Groundhog Day' type episode involving a time loop and lead characters dying. Repeatedly! Xena is in the Bill Murray role and even gets to kill Joxer! A lighter episode, and a very funny one indeed. I especially liked Joxer in this one.


DISCLAIMER: The rooster was not harmed during the production of this motion picture although his feathers were severely ruffled. However a little gel and mousse straightened out the mess.

3. The Dirty Half Dozen
writer:Steven L Sears
director:Rick Jacobson
Xena rounds up a bunch of cut throats to defeat an Ares worshipping warlord. Gabrielle's new shorter outfit makes its debut. This meeting with some of Xena's former associates is also another look at Gabrielle's influence on Xena and vice versa.

DISCLAIMER: No convicts were reformed during the filming of this motion picture. Can't we all just get along?

4.The Deliverer
writer:Steven L Sears
director: Oley Sassone
Julius Caesar returns in an episode set in Roman Britain. This one looks like being a major one in the development of the characters. BIG changes for Gabrielle, really dramatic actually, and the first part of the stories about her well publicized pregnancy. Roman Britain looks just like New Zealand.

DISCLAIMER: Gabrielle was slightly well done during the filming of this motion picture. However, the producers would like to recommend a zesty barbeque sauce to bring out the full flavour of this episode

5. Gabrielle's Hope
writer: RJ Stewart
director:Charles Siebert and Andrew Merrifield
Gabrielle gives birth in this one to a girl named Hope- probably not a good omen. Rosemary's Baby anyone? Xena and Gabrielle are still in Roman Britain on their way home when Gabrielle has her happy event. Gabby tells her big lie in this episode. Naughty naughty!

DISCLAIMER: Despite witnessing the bizarre and somewhat disturbing birth of Gabrielle's Hope, no farm animals were harmed or traumatized during the production of this motion picture.

6. The Debt (Betrayal)
writer:RJ Stewart
story: RJ Stewart and Robert Tapert
director: Oley Sassone
Xena goes to China(or Chin). Very action packed one. Explains the origin of the Warrior Princess name. Xena remembers a time when she met a remarkable Chinese woman after trying to kidnap a young prince. She spends a bit of time dressed in nothing but mud! Yet more of the rift between Xena and Gabrielle here- and that Gabby! What a bad girl.

DISCLAIMER: No frock tarts were harmed during the production of this motion picture, although they wish they had been

7. The Debt II
writer:RJ Stewart
director:Oley Sassone
The betrayal of Xena seen in part one has her lined up for execution. We learn yet more about her past and the events that made her the warrior princess. Xena tells her little fib to Gabrielle in this one. More excellent acting from LL and ROC, great photography and music. Brilliant episode.

DISCLAIMER: Xena and Gabrielle's relationship suffered another blow (although Gabrielle doesn't know it yet) during the production of this motion picture.

8. King of Assassins
writers: Adam Armus and Nora Kay Foster
director: Bruce Campbell
Features TWO Joxers- nightmare or what! One of which wears black leather and is his evil twin Jett. Xena-light, and features Cleopatra and Autolycus.

DISCLAIMER: Due to the initiative of a severe wedgie, Joxer was slightly uncomfortable but not seriously harmed during the production of this motion picture

9.Warrior..Priestess..Tramp
writer:Adam Armus & Nora Kay Foster
director: Robert Ginty
More work for Lucy. Meg returns, this time running a bordello.(look out for Jodie Dorday who plays Solari as one of the dancing girls!) Also appearring is a Hestian virgin priestess named Leah (yep, Lucy again), who is having trouble with men attacking the temple. She also has a speech impediment- can't say her 'r's. She needs Xena and Gabrielle's help. Apparently one of the first filmed of Series 3.

DISCLAIMER: Despite another Xena lookalike, the gene pool (or rather the gene puddle) was not harmed during the production of this motion picture.

10.The Quill is Mightier
writer:Hilary J Bader
director: Andrew Merrifield
Gabrielle carries this one. Aphrodite and Ares appear, as does Joxer with minimal Xena.(sigh) Aphrodite casts a spell so that everything Gabrielle writes comes true. A comedy episode also featuring the return of Minya! Check out that disclaimer!

DISCLAIMER: No naked Gabrielle's were harmed during the production of this motion picture.

11. Maternal Instincts
writer: Chris Manheim
director: Mark Beesley
Another "rift" episode that follows The Deliverer and Gabrielle's Hope. Callisto appears and it also features the Amazons and Gabrielle's child grown up a bit. Quite stunningly upsetting events occur in this daring episode featuring a bevy of mothers and their offspring.

DISCLAIMER: Xena and Gabrielle's relationship was harmed during the production of this motion picture.

12. The Bitter Suite
writer: Steven L Sears and Chris Manheim
director: Oley Sassone
Xena - The Musical! We know Lucy can sing, but can Renee or Argo? Ares, Joxer and Callisto all sing aswell. The dreaded RIFT will finally be resolved in this episode, but the brutal opening caused some controversy.
All but Lucy Lawless, Ted Raimi and Kevin Smith have their singing dubbed. There are seven songs and it begins with Xena and Gabrielle not getting along to say the least. After falling into a mystical waterfall they enter a strange world where they resolve their differences in song!! Look out for a kiss- but not with Xena and Gabrielle this time.

DISCLAIMER: The musical genre was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. In fact, the procucers hope you were A-MUSE-D by this episode.

13. One Against an Army
writer: Gene O'Neill & Noreen Tobin
director: Paul Lynch
Xena must battle the Persian Army single handed while Gabrielle lies very ill. New writers and directors, and no significant guest stars. This excellent episode is in a similar vein to The Greater Good

14. Forgiven
writer: RJ Stewart
director: Garth Maxwell
An obnoxious teenage girl tries to show Xena that she would make a better sidekick than Gabrielle as they try and retrieve the Urn of Apollo. Gab takes another beating.

writer:Steven L Sears
director: John Lang
Julius Caesar returns once more as Xena gets another crack at her second worst enemy while trying to rescue a rebel leader.

director: Charlie Haskell
Gabrielle wants to forget all the horrible things that have happened to her recently, but Joxer (yes he is in it) is concerned that she might forget him. Ares also appears in this season's clip show.

DISCLAIMER: Xena and Joxer were not forgotten during the production of this motion picture.

18. Fins, Femmes and Gems
story: Rob Tapert, Adam Armus and Nora Kay Foster
writer: Adam Armus and Nora Kay Foster
director: Josh Becker
Aphrodite appears. Another spell one that has people become obssessed with the first thing they see. Xena and fishing, Gabrielle and herself- she was looking in a mirror, and Joxer and some sort of Tarzan style ape man!!! We also get to see young Xena and young Lyceus! A very funny comedy- listen out for Gabrielle's theme song.

DISCLAIMER: Joxer's dignity was slightly harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, Gabrielle's pink nightie was restored to its original condition

19. Tsunami
writer: Chris Manheim
director: John Laing
Autolycus joins Xena and Gabrielle as they are stuck on a ship in a storm. Shades of The Poseidon Adventure- or maybe catching the Titanic wave?

20. Vanishing Act
writer: Terry Winter
director: Andrew Merrifield

21. Sacrifice I
writer: Steven L Sears
director: David Warry-Smith
who's this?

Season three ends with a two parter. Xena and Gabrielle vainly struggle to stop evil Hope from re-emerging from her cocoon.(!) Callisto and Ares also appear.

DISCLAIMER: No pulsing cocoons were harmed during the production of this motion picture. What was witnessed was purely a re-enactment

22. Sacrifice II
writer: Paul Robert Coyle
director: Rick Jacobson
Hope takes the form of her mother(!) and joins with Ares to create a race of super beings. Xena teams with Callisto to prevent this. An exciting end to a turbulent season- what a year for Gabrielle, culminating in this episode and one heck of a cliffhanger!

Sounds like a fanfic story, but is another in the "Lucy is pregnant, what shall we do!" storylines...Aphrodite causes Xena and a young girl named Daphne to swap bodies, only doesn't get it quite right.

Will Xena manage to save her daughter and her friend, or will Athena and the Olympians win the day? All resolved in this episode you will be glad to hear..no cliffhanger this season.
