Logline:
The two-part series finale concludes with Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) entering into battle against a samurai ghost (Adrian Brown) and his army of 20,000 warriors. As the adventure series draws to a close after six seasons, two questions loom for fans. Will Xena and Gabrielle share a meaningful kiss? And will Xena die---again? Neither Lawless nor her husband, executive producer Rob Tapert, will reveal the answers. Instead, Lawless notes that the series strove to leave Xena and Gabrielle's relationship “as open to interpretation as possible.” And what about Xena's future? Tapert only admits he'd “love to do a movie.”

My Comments:
I liked this episode. The ending...both R.J. Stewart and Renee O'Connor have stated that Gabrielle would never take the peace that Xena has so long sought away from her dear friend. That being said; Gabrielle, despite the fact she has to go on without Xena at her side, will go on.
