Category: Season 6

Three people are watching clips of Xena and discussing the show when they receive a call. It’s Alexis, and she tells them that she’s just completed work on the clones of Xena and Gabrielle. She asks them to bring along the clips they have compiled so that they can jump-start the memories of the clones. At the lab, Alexis allows them to go through one session of clips. She doesn’t want to overload the clones. But after they’ve left the lab, someone comes in and disconnects Gabrielle from the video feed – and puts in a disk of evil Xena clips.

Julius Caesar has escaped from the underworld and chained the Fates. Thinking it unfair that he ended up in Tartarus and Xena continues to live on with Gabrielle, he has decided to change a past mistake he made with the warrior.

In this new reality, Caesar is Emperor of Rome and discussing matters with an aide when Brutus appears. He tells Caesar that Lao Ma has sent emissaries with a treaty. As they turn to enter the palace to greet the emissaries, a lone warrior on horseback arrives at the gate.

Xena and Gabrielle are on a mission to deliver the helmet of Hermes to Thebes, when they come across zealots about to sacrifice a young woman. They fight the zealots, but unfortunately the rope that is linked to the chute the woman is laying on has come free from the base. She is sent over the cliff to the sea below. Xena leaps over the cliff after her, and using the helmet, she catches the girl and flies her to safety. The young woman believes that a god has just saved her and thanks Xena. When the warrior explains that she isn’t a god, the girl is angry that Xena ruined her sacrifice. The warrior and the bard are surprised by her reaction. Gabrielle thinks that maybe the way to get through to Genia is to introduce her to Aphrodite.

Xena and Joxer are at the edge of a cliff discussing a scroll that she has with her. Joxer thinks they should destroy it, but he can’t tear it. Then he decides that maybe they could disguise it by hiding it within another scroll. Xena approves, then takes both scrolls and stuffs them in a jar, before diving from the cliff into the Ionian sea.

In the present day, C.H.A.K.R.A.M, a group who has been researching Xena and Gabrielle, holds a press conference to talk about a scroll that has been discovered in the Ionian sea. Dr. Fredrick Delaney, who is speaking for the organization, claims that they have proof that Xena was married – to Ares.

LogBook entry by Mary Terrell

Gabrielle is thinking about what the future may hold, and Xena says she’s been wondering about that too. She thinks maybe they should head to the land of the Pharaohs for a while. Gabrielle notices that someone is lurking about in the woods around them. Xena says that he’s been there for about a half an hour. They find the man, who is a priest from the land of the rising sun. Kenji tells them that he was sent by Akemi, someone who Xena knew a long time ago. He also tells of a demon, Yodoshi, that killed his fellow priest, and says that Akemi believed that Xena would be able to defeat him. As they sail to Japan, Xena tells Gabrielle the story of how she and Borias met Akemi. When they reach Higuchi, the captain of the ship refuses to go near the village because it’s under siege.
