Xena (Lucy Lawless) squares off against the Olympian gods in a battle to the death, with the survival of both sides in the balance. At the same time, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) swears to avenge the death of Joxer (Ted Raimi) at the hands of Xena's daughter, Eve, and never mind that Eve has cast off her evil former identity as Livia, the Bitch of Rome. And Gabrielle's own departed daughter, Hope, makes an appearance -- in a manner of speaking. This was the final episode of Xena: Warrior Princess' fifth season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The goddess Discord (Meighan Desmond) hopes to form a sinister triumvirate of teenage witches. As part of the plan, the witch Haleh (Katrina Browne) worms her way into the confidence of Cesca (Jodie Rimmer), the troubled daughter of one of Hercules' friends. The rampaging Cesca not only turns against Hercules (Kevin Sorbo), but also his friend Iolaus (Michael Hurst), whom she believes to be the illicit lover of her own mother. Unless this mess can be straightened out, several innocent characters (guess who?) will be sentenced to burn for witchcraft. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Xena (Lucy Lawless) and her friends throw a surprise birthday party for Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) at the tavern owned by Xena's mom (Darien Takle). But the festivities take a sinister turn when a bounty hunter who is searching for Xena turns up murdered. Discord (Meighan Desmond), goddess of retribution, threatens dire consequences for all of the partygoers unless Xena can solve the murder mystery by sunrise. Bruce Campbell makes his final appearance as "King of Thieves" Autolycus. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this follow-up to the previous episode "Porkules," Katherine, the female pig whom Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) met while he was briefly transformed into an oinker himself, assumes human form with the help of love goddess Aphrodite (Alexandra Tydings). Alas, the humanized Katherine (also Alexandra Tydings) begins yearning for the simple joys of pighood that are now denied her (such as wallowing naked in the mud). Meanwhile, Iolaus (Kevin Hurst) and Autolycus (Bruce Campbell), imprisoned by Ares (Kevin Smith) for changing the war god's handmaiden Discord (Meighan Desmond) into a chicken, manage to make their escape, albeit still manacled together à
la the Defiant Ones. As a climax to the duo's many misadventures, they end up being displayed at a carnival sideshow as the legendary "Two-Headed Bigfoot." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Needing to test his powers and his place in the world, an adolescent Hercules ignores the warnings of his centaur mentor and takes on the Gods of Mount Olympus. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

It is off to Brittania for Xena (Lucy Lawless), Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor), and Khrafstar (Marton Csokas), the high priest of a new monotheistic cult. The trio's mission: to thwart the impending invasion of Julius Caesar (Karl Urban). But the battle may be lost before it begins when Gabrielle, tricked into shedding the blood of an innocent, is forced into an unholy union with satanic god Dahuk. Among other events, a certain well-known archaic British landmark comes into being in this episode. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
