Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) is distressed to learn that her daughter, Hope (Amy Morrison), the result of an unholy alliance with satanic god Duhak, is still alive. Even more distressing is the fact that Hope has freed Callisto (Hudson Leick), mortal enemy of Xena (Lucy Lawless). Hope and Callisto aspire to cause an irreparable rift between Xena and Gabrielle by bringing about the death of Xena's son, Solan (David Taylor). Without elaborating further, it can be said that the episode's disclaimer is sadly accurate: "Xena and Gabrielle's relationship was harmed during production of this motion picture."
