- TEASER
In a forest, soldiers march along. Amazons sneak around in the trees. The soldiers stop. Varia (Tsianina Joelson) and Marga (Sela Apera) exchange glances.
Xena (Lucy Lawless), Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) and Eve (Adrienne Wilkinson) walk along. They were sent for by Ares (Kevin Smith), who Xena feels obligated to for saving the lives of Gabrielle and Eve by giving up his immortality. Eve asks if the lands they are entering were Amazon lands and Gabrielle informs her that they still are. They come over a hill to see the forest has been burnt down. A few small fires still burn. A man screams and they run towards the sound.
The Amazons fight Ares' army. The Amazons are being overwhelmed. Xena and Gabrielle join the battle. A soldier knocks Marga to the ground and raises his sword. Eve jumps into the battle and saves Marga. Eve does not fight with a weapon. Ares' army retreats and the Amazons cheer. Eve helps a wounded Amazon. Xena introduces herself and the others to the Amazons. Varia comments that Xena can kill gods and Marga informs them that they have one more for her to kill Ares.
ACT ONE
The Amazons walk along with Xena, Gabrielle and Eve. Xena and Gabrielle discuss why Ares might be attacking the Amazons. Xena heads off to talk to Ares and tells Gabrielle to talk to Marga.
Ares' camp. The soldiers return. Ares is joined by his captain, who informs Ares of their loss. Ares punches him and yells that he wants the village. The captain asks why Ares doesn't just use his powers, to which Ares replies, "Where's the fun in that?"
Ares enters his tent and kisses his hand, which is sore from punching the captain. A fly buzzes around him. Ares tries to hit it, but fails. The fly lands on a bowl of grapes. Ares holds up his hand to blast it, but he has no powers. He turns as though walking away, then yells and brings his hand down on the grapes. He missed the fly. Alecto, leader of the furies, enters, disguised as Xena. She laughs and Ares turns to see her at the entrance to his tent. The fly flies past Alecto and she catches it out of midair. She drops the fly and steps on it. Ares tells "Xena" that he's calling in his favour that he wants his godhood back.
In the Amazon village, the Amazons practice.
Marga's tent. Gabrielle talks with Marga and Varia, but they have no idea why Ares is attacking them.
Ares' tent. Ares talks to Alecto, who is still disguised as Xena. Alecto comments that Ares is after the Amazon's ambrosia. Ares tells "Xena" to get the ambrosia so that a war isn't needed, but Alecto asks for control of Ares' army so she can crush the Amazons. She makes Ares believe that she wants to come back to his side and kisses him. What are you doing? Tisiphone, another fury, enters, but is disguised as Gabrielle. Tisiphone joins them, also talking about fighting the Amazons.
Amazon village. The Amazons train. Eve watches them. She remembers Roman soldiers slaughtering Amazons. Varia joins her. Varia thinks Eve looks familiar. Varia comments on Eve's moves. Eve insists that she doesn't fight. Varia asks Eve to join them in the fight against Ares. When Eve says no, Varia challenges her to a fight. Eve walks away with a warning that Varia doesn't want to make her angry.
Ares is in his tent. He stands with his eyes closed and a dagger in his hand. A fly buzzes around him. The fly lands on an orange and Ares sticks the dagger through both the fly and the orange. Magaera, a third fury, disguised as Eve puts her arms around Ares' shoulders. She says that she should be leading Ares' army, not Xena. Alecto and Tisiphone enters, still disguised as Xena and Gabrielle. Ares leaves to get his army ready. The furies drop their disguises. They discuss their plan that Xena or Ares or both has to die to avenge the death of the Olympian gods. They will then rule.

Ares' camp. Ares steps out of his tent with the Furies, who are disguised as Xena, Gabrielle and Eve again. Only Ares can see the furies. Ares' armorer walks over to him with armour. Ares talks to the furies and the armorer is confused, but leaves when Ares orders him too.
The real Xena and Gabrielle enter Ares' tent. He exchanges a few words with them and then leaves. Gabrielle comments that he's lost his mind. Xena is sure it's the furies.
Ares steps out of the tent. Alecto and the other furies are waiting, still disguised as Xena, Gabrielle and Eve. Xena shoves the soldiers aside as she and Gabrielle exit Ares' tent. Ares looks from Xena to Alecto. Alecto appears in front of Xena, facing Ares and tells him to order his army to go to war, and Ares does. The soldiers cheer. Alecto disappears.

Amazon hospital. Eve wipes the blood from a cut on her leg. Varia enters and thanks Eve for helping her sisters. Varia sees a scar on Eve's leg and then shows her a scar on her shoulder. Varia brags that it was from a Roman short sword and that she killed the solider before he could wipe his blade clean. Eve shows Varia a scar on her back from a Gaelic spear. Eve says she killed the man who did it, his entire regiment, his village and two neighboring villages before the sun went down. Varia is impressed with her and asks if she misses battle. Eve replies that she doesn't. Varia asks if Eve will teach her some moves and Eve agrees.
Later, outside: Eve watches Varia defeat an Amazon with a move Eve taught her. Varia asks Eve to show her her best move. When Eve does, Varia suddenly holds her sword on Eve, saying that the only warrior she has seen use that move was Livia she knows who Eve is.
ACT THREE
Xena and Gabrielle enter the Amazon village to find the Amazons attacking Eve. She has a collar around her neck, with ropes attached to it that several Amazons hold. They pull her this way and that, towards the spears that are held by other Amazons around the circle. Xena shoves Amazons aside and demands that the Amazons cut Eve free. She warns them that Ares army is coming and that they need to flee. Marga informs Xena that, as Livia, Eve had attacked and killed many of the best Amazon warriors. Varia is enraged and says that those who died were the lucky ones. Xena looks to Eve and Eve informs them that she sold the captured Amazons into slavery. Marga informs them that Amazon law demands that Eve has to die, but Gabrielle threatens to challenge her. Marga agrees to wait to resolve the matter since Eve saved her life and because they need Xena. Xena takes the collar off of Eve and Varia takes Eve away.
In a tent, Eve is tied to a pole. Xena tries to comfort Eve, understanding that it's hard to say youre sorry to someone you love. Gabrielle enters and Xena apologizes for hitting her in the head with her chakram. Gabrielle has already forgiven her, understanding that Xena had to do it to save Eve. Xena says they need to take out the furies.

His men watch thinking he is attacking the air. Alecto leaves. Ares yells at his soldiers, telling them not to look at him. Xena arrives and tells Ares the furies are driving him insane. Ares attacks her, but Xena flips over the rocks and leaves. Ares yells after her that he will kill her and the Amazons.
ACT FOUR

Ares' army marches. The Amazons step before them. Marga steps out to the front of her army and Ares rides to the front of his on a black horse. Marga tells them that the Amazons will not take another backward step and that Ares will have to kill them all. Ares isn't impressed. He dismounts and draws his sword. Xena rides in and stands in front of Ares. Xena punches him and he falls down. Xena calls him soft, like the other Olympians she killed. The furies appear around Ares and egg him on. Ares yells at the furies. The Amazons and his soldiers are confused since they can't see the furies. Xena points out that Ares has a bleeding nose, and that gods dont bleed.

Xena stops and looks down to see a pool frozen over with ice. She dismounts and moves to it. Ares rides up, dismounts and follows Xena. Xena throws her chakram. It misses Ares and bounces around the sides of the mountain before flying out of sight. Xena and Ares begin to brawl, messing each other up pretty badly. Xena eggs Ares on and he yells and then punches her. She goes flying back and lands in the freezing water. Ares looks for Xena, who has floated to the surface, but is trapped under the ice. Xena dies and sinks into the water. The furies leave Ares' head, Alecto snickering. The three of them appear on land and laugh, mocking him for killing his beloved. As the furies laugh, the chakram can be heard. They turn to see the chakram and scream as it flies at them, cutting all their heads off. Ares dives under the water. He gets Xena out from under the ice and rises with her in his arms. He carries her to the land, visual upset. He lays her on the ice and yells.
