Season 3 Xena: Warrior Princess

Gabrielle’s Hope

Xena: Warrior PrincessGabrielle struggles to come to terms with the fact that she killed Meridian as she and Xena travel to a village to find passage back to Greece. As they pass through a forest, three Banshees appear. The Banshees attack Xena, but leave Gabrielle alone. They back away from her saying they worship her. Since Gabrielle isn’t feeling well, she convinces Xena to give up the fight for now and they leave the forest.

In the village, Xena leaves Gabrielle at a tavern while she goes to speak to the captain of a ship that will be going close to Greece. The bard finds her appetite has returned and is soon eating everything that the tavern keeper will sit in front of her.

Outside the tavern, a crowd has gathered. They shout at Gabrielle and throw torches into the building, trying to burn it down with her in it. But the bard manages to use a pole to vault out of the structure and lands in the water nearby. She climbs onto the peir and the villagers chase her. Xena hears the commotion and follows.

Earth: Final ConflictInvestigating a small Amish village where people have begun to commit suicide after beginning to doubt their religious worldview in the wake of the Companions’ arrival, Boone and Lili discover that the suicides may in fact be homicides – and that the killer may be of alien origin. Da’an denies any secret experiments in the area, a story which checks out until Boone stumbles across an alien probe which has sent out deadly remote probes in the form of butterflies, killing the townsfolk. But Da’an, in stating that no Taelon experiments were being conducted on the people of Paradise, may not have been dishonest.

Resurrection

Earth: Final ConflictDuring the worldwide broadcast of a high-profile sports event, resistance leader Jonathan Doors briefly interrupts the transmission, revealing himself to be alive, well, and in command of an organized resistance movement. However, Boone and Lili are surprised that Doors would put himself and the resistance at such great risk. Da’an, who believed Doors to be dead after the assassination attempt, is removed from power by the Taelon Synod, replaced by the much less patient Zo’or. Boone works behind the scenes to return Da’an to power, even as Doors continues to press his attack through the media. Both the Companions and the resistance, as it turns out, have been hiding something.

The King of Assassins

Xena: Warrior PrincessAs Gabrielle and Joxer wait in a village for Xena to return from a mission, they run into Autolycus. The thief tells him that the night before, he had helped a man who looked like Joxer steal a sword. Joxer explains that it was his brother Jett, an assassin. He also tells them that his brother will probably try to use the sword to kill someone important. Gabrielle insists that they must figure out who Jett is planning to kill and find a way to stop him. The bard is fairly sure of what Xena would do in this situation and the trio soon set her plan into motion.

Horizon Zero

Earth: Final ConflictIn an unusual intervention, the Taelons cancel a human mission to Mars which has been in the works for years, and the mission’s captain, Chandler, is enraged to learn that he won’t be making another giant step for mankind. Lili is an old friend of Chandler’s, and gives him a ride in a Taelon shuttle to prove how much easier travel can be with the aliens’ technology. But the moment she turns her back, Chandler has hijacked her shuttle, and Da’an is unusually insistent that Chandler must be found and stopped from going to Mars…though the Companion offers no explanation. The unauthorized mission is finally underway, though in a way its captain would never have imagined, and with ominous discoveries made along the way.

Live Free Or Die

Earth: Final ConflictTwo test pilots – subjected to disastrous biological experiments when the Taelons first introduced their interdimensional shuttles to humanity – slip into an astronomical symposium host by Da’an. The men render everyone unconscious with the use of nerve gas and kidnap Da’an, intending to return the Taelons’ grisly favor to their representative on Earth. Doors harbors an ambition to recruit the kidnappers for the resistance, but when Sandoval and others suspect the resistance of engineering the hostage crisis, even Doors orders his followers to kill the kidnappers if necessary. And while in captivity, Da’an is taking steps to relieve his kidnappers of their prize.
