synopsis
Gina Torres makes her first series appearance as pirate queen Nebula -- or at least she's a pirate queen in this episode. The story proper find Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Iolaus (Kevin Hurst) stranded on a strange island with Arachne (Josephine Davison), a seductive half-woman/half-spider. Ultimately, Hercules and Nebula must forget past differences and work together to prevent the impressionable Iolaus from being entangled in Arachne's web.
