Logline:
Xena fights against the forces of Mount Olympus.
Xena and Gabrielle have broken free from a crypt of ice after
20 years and learned that Eve, now named Livia (Adrienne Wilkinson), has become
a ruthless Roman commander. Xena tries to redeem her, but when the gods discover
that Livia is the child destined to destroy them, Xena faces an even greater
challenge: protecting her from the immortals. Athena (Paris Jefferson) sums
up the situation best when she says, As a warrior princess, she was dangerous
enough. Xena the warrior mother is terrifying.

My Comments:
This is it, the battle that's been brewing all season. Xena gets the power
to kill gods in order to protect her daughter. A power that Xena said in "Chakram"
that no one should possess, especially her.
Hope returns to taunt Gabrielle into killing Eve. Gabrielle gives in and stabs
Eve. Now for the controversial part: could Xena have thrown the chakram any
differently. Probably, but that is not the issue at hand. Xena's throw was a
knee-jerk reaction to what she was seeing. She just threw the chakram. The look
on her face speaks thousands--she couldn't believe she nailed Gabrielle with
the chakram.
