The life of wealthy Ellen McCarthy (Marlo Thomas) is thrown into disarray when her husband Grove (William Devane) disappears at sea during a voyage on the family yacht. Evidence indicates that Grove has drowned, and the police have reason to suspect that Ellen was responsible. As the investigation proceeds, it appears as though Ellen and her husband having been living lie (unbeknownst to Ellen, of course), and that everyone around the couple have been covering up their own horrible secrets, possibly tied in with corporate intrigue. And what exactly is the story concerning Ellen's son Josh (Louis Corbett). First telecast by the Lifetime channel on March 15, 2004, the made-for-cable Deceit was based on a novel by Clare Francis, which had previously been adapted for British television in 2000 with Francesca Annis in the lead. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After barely surviving a sandstorm, Xena (Lucy Lawless) tries to end a war between two hostile African tribes. It is her argument that unless the tribes bury the hatchet and work together, they will both be overwhelmed by the invading Romans. Meanwhile, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) agonizes over accidentally killing an unarmed man, her grief-stricken musings consisting mainly of flashbacks from previous Xena: Warrior Princess episodes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Iolaus (Michael Hurst) vow to rescue young Melina (Mandy Gilette) from the Cave of Echoes, from which no one has ever returned. Our heroes are assisted by a writer named Parentheses (Owen Black), who must first overcome his cowardice before venturing into the forbidding cave. Parentheses' redemption is helped along by Zeus -- not Hercules' immortal father, but a cute little kitten of the same name. When originally telecast, this episode brought the second season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys to a close. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
