In the first episode of Xena: Warrior Princess' two-part finale, Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) are summoned to Japan, there to save the city of Higushi. Upon arrival, the ladies find the city in the clutches of a group of savage samurai, headed by evil samurai ghost Yodoshi (Adrian Brown). In order to rescue the villagers and free some 40,000 enslaved dead souls, Xena must do battle against Yodoshi -- but she herself must be dead to do it. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the concluding episode of Xena: Warrior Princess, Xena (Lucy Lawless) has agreed to the terms of battle set down by evil samurai ghost Yodoshi. In other words, she allows herself to be killed so that she can fight Yodoshi over the souls of some 40,000 murdered Japanese. The grieving Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) races against time to revive Xena by putting her ashes in a magic spring before the next sunset. Only one problem: Even if she manages to defeat Yodoshi, Xena must remain dead in order to undo the samurai's past evil. This episode's climactic disclaimer advises the viewer to hold out hope for a happier ending in the future. We're still waiting. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
