My Comments:
Gabrielle tries to imitate Xena and devises a plan to prevent the assination of Queen Cleopatra with the help of a reluctant Autolycus and an overly helpful Joxer.

So just where is Lucy? Lucy was off in the States promoting Xena while this episode was being filmed. It was common for them to do 1 or 2 Xena light episodes to allow Lucy to travel to the States to appear at the NATPE (the place where shows are bought and sold into syndication or are picked up for distribution) and to appear on talk shows to promote the series.
