Goofs:
Anachronisms: Xena must have been a truly remarkable person for not only was she present at the Trojan war, as we have seen in a past episode, but she also had the honor of knowing Julius Caesar. Considering that the Trojan war is historically placed at about 1194 BC-1184 BC and the aforementioned historical figure from about 100 BC - 30 BC for Xena to have survived over 1000 years is utterly amazing! Talk about your well kept woman!

I never dreamed that we'd be distanced by our hate, that all the trust we had would go.
Gabrielle: How could I hate you?
Xena: How could it come to pass, this awful twist of fate?
Gabrielle: How could I hurt you?
Xena: This madness can't be so!
Gabrielle: I can't believe it.
Xena: I never dreamed that any barriers could rise,
Gabrielle: Or that I'd ever see the stranger in your eyes!
Xena: Our hearts were hurting both the same.
Gabrielle: The hurt was tearing up our souls.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I loved this episode it was a good way to convey the emotions and feelings by Gabrielle and Xena towards each other about the death of their respective without the story being too dark or dragging on for several episodes why they tried to work it out. Xena and Gabrielle are thrust into Illusia where Xena seemingly kills Gabrielle but it turned out to be an illusion(the name Illusia get it?) they are then both taken to the place where it all started, with Dayhok and Gabrielle becoming impregnated because Xena wanted revenge on Caesar. The both realise that neither of them was to blame it was just something that was meant to be. A truly first class episode and the music and lyrics were planned perfectly to match mood and situation.
