- TEASER
Eve (Adrienne Wilkinson) walks through the desert under the hot sun. She has no shoes and is covered in sand from the blowing wind. Xena (Lucy Lawless) stands on a hill, watching Eve. Eve falls to her knees. She picks up some sand and lets the wind blow it into her. She cries out. Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) joins Xena. She isn't sure she wants to help Eve because she killed Joxer. Xena tells Gabrielle she understands if Gabrielle can't help, but Gabrielle replies, "Let's save your daughter."
On Mount Olympus, the gods are arguing over what do to about Eve. Athena (Paris Jefferson) calls in the furies. Aphrodite (Alexandria Tydings) asks if the gods can leave Gabrielle out of it. Athena says she shouldn't watch then.
Xena and Gabrielle look out at Eve in the desert. Xena throws her chakram. It flies down to Eve and splits in two, cutting two spears in half before they hits Eve. An army of villagers comes from over another hill and attack Eve. Xena and Gabrielle run into battle, but Eve does nothing to save herself. Eve is lassoed and dragged behind a horse. Xena takes out the horseman and frees Eve. She moves to her daughter and holds her as Gabrielle rides up. Eve tells Xena that she should have let the villagers kill her. Gabrielle brings Eve some water. The furies appear and whisper into Gabrielle's mind that Eve will break Xena's heart and that Eve must die.

In the shepard's tent, the followers of Eli ask Gabrielle questions about him. Gabrielle tells them that Eli believed everything could be saved by love. Eve begins to cry, saying that she cant be saved with all she's done. Eve begins to list off some of the things she's done, including killing Joxer. The furies use this to egg on Gabrielle.
