Warning: Spoilers
Well, getting the underworld is a lot simpler than you might imagine, you just dive down to the bottom of the lake?

Best line-Gabby; "But what if you drown?"

Xena; "Well then I guess I'll make it to the underworld one way or the other?"

Michael Hurst as Charron and Toxeus is back. Boy this is dark! We have Xena's equivalent of Hannibal Lecter who is creepy as hell and cuts Toxeus' head clean off! Fire-breathing again and we see that returning people to life is actually no big deal for gods as we'll see time and again over the series. The CGI isn't bad for the time and Xena kills 2 Harpies and 2 humans.

Not a favourite of the subtexters as Marcus is obviously a real catch and Xena tells him that she loves him, something I don't think we ever see with any of her other boyfriends? She says that she will see him again one day but actually we later see that when she dies she goes to the Christian heaven although it's perfectly possibly the 2 could have been merged with the death of Hades? Which begs the question where did HE go upon his demise?

8/10.
