Upon learning that she may inherit the throne of Hell from Mephistopheles, Xena (Lucy Lawless) vows to do everything she can to avoid this "honor." Alas, she is already taking on demonic characteristics, and her heart is growing harder with each passing day. Will the devilishly handsome angel who calls himself Lucifer (Alex Mendoza) be able to talk Xena into fulfilling her destiny? And why has Virgil (William Gregory Lee), sweet-tempered son of Joxer, suddenly turned so sour? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It is has been 25 years since Xena (Lucy Lawless), her daughter, Eve, and her companion, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor), disappeared from the face of the earth. Since that time, the ladies' friend Joxer (Ted Raimi) has regaled his children and grandchildren with stories of Xena's adventures -- and of his own courage in the thick of battle. Now, an aged Joxer has come across the last scroll left behind by Gabrielle, detailing the final confrontation between Xena and the Olympian Gods, who were forsworn to kill Eve lest she fulfill the prophecy of their destruction. As Joxer reads the document, he realizes with startling suddenness that Xena and Gabrielle may not be dead -- as everyone (including himself) has assumed all these many years. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Having discovered that the much-feared warrior princess Livia (Adrienne Wilkinson) is actually her own daughter, Eve, Xena (Lucy Lawless) embarks upon a search for the girl, following the path of destruction left in Eve's wake. Meanwhile, war god Ares (Kevin Smith), who has already promised to make Livia the Empress of Rome, prepares to strike up an unholy bargain with Livia. And the aged Joxer (Ted Raimi) is forced to confess that the self-aggrandizing war stories he has been telling his son, Virgil (William Gregory Lee), for the past 25 years have not been entirely accurate. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Knocked unconscious while swimming, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) awakens to find herself in a watery world populated by mermen and mermaids. She herself has grown fins in place of her legs, and has now assumed the identity of Crustacea, the wife of merman Hagar (Ted Raimi) and the mother of three bratty piscatorial youngsters. Meanwhile, a pair of scaly villainesses who closely resemble Gabrielle's earthly nemeses Aphrodite and Discord hatch a plot against her. This anachronism-packed comic episode may remind the viewer of such theatrical features as Splash and Overboard. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) is faced with a momentous decision: She can either leave the Amazon village and embark on future adventures with Xena (Lucy Lawless) and baby Eve, or she can stay behind and reign as the Amazon Queen. Jealously coveting the queendom herself, scheming Amazon Cyane (Shelley Edwards) sets up a scenario to prove that Gabrielle is unworthy. It seems that poor Joxer (Ted Raimi) has been arrested for spying on a group of Amazon bathing beauties, and the penalty for his crime is the loss of an eye -- a sentence that must be carried out by Gabrielle. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

During a bout of writer's block, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) tells Aphrodite (Alexandra Tydings) about her "little" adventure. Specifically, she recalls how she and her horse Argo were shrunken to bite-size by the depressed -- and very short -- Lachrymose (Jon Gadsby), the God of Despair. Meanwhile, the pregnant Xena (Lucy Lawless) whose mood swings have reached the red-alert level, tries to get through an entire day without blowing her top. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The birth of Xena's baby, Eve, is greeted with a strangely familiar series of rituals, including gifts from a trio of Magi. Meanwhile, the Olympian Gods, determined that the baby will not fulfill the prophecy that will bring about their doom (and angered over the reason demise of Zeus), set about to destroy both mother and daughter. As for Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor), she has her hands full seeking out an antidote to save the poisoned Joxer (Ted Raimi). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Picking up where season five of Xena: Warrior Princess left off, season six begins with Xena (Lucy Lawless) handily defeating the combined forces of the Olympian Gods, who had hoped to forestall their prophesied demise by killing both Xena and her reformed warrior-princess daughter, Eve (Adrienne Wilkinson). The end of Olympia left but a few survivors, among them Xena's old nemesis Ares (Kevin Smith), the God of War -- now rather comically reduced to pathetic mortal-hood. Together with her traveling companion, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor), and the ladies' new cohort, Virgil (William Gregory Lee), the son of their late friend Joxer, Xena embarks upon a whole new series of globetrotting adventures, taking her to Africa and to the Land of Norse, where she finds herself smack-dab in a Wagnerian "Ring Cycle" (mostly of her own making). Xena also does her best to avoid the prognostications of the Heavens Above that she is next in line to the Throne of Hell upon the "retirement" of reigning demon Mephistopheles. Occasionally digressing from the standard Xena format, a handful of episodes were set in the Present -- that is, the 21st century A.D. One of these was a satirical spoof of the old radio and TV series You Are There, while others dealt with the misadventures of Xena's contemporary fans and the familiar cast members' modern-day, lookalike descendants. The season ends with a two-parter set in faraway Japan, where Xena is voluntarily slain so that she may do battle in the Afterlife with the ghost of a malevolent samurai. Gabrielle's efforts to revive Xena, so often so successful in the past, come a cropper this time, and it looks as though Xena: Warrior Princess is definitely, permanently over and done with. However, hope is held out that a sequel or a spin-off may still be in the works, so stay tuned. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Taking one of Xena's offhand comments a bit too literally, Aphrodite (Alexandra Tydings) "helpfully" traps Xena (Lucy Lawless) into the body of Daphne (Rose McIver), a little girl on the verge of death. Once she has assumed Daphne's form, Xena struggles to restore the child's will to live, which she lost after the death of her mother. Meanwhile, Aphrodite and Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor), posing as Swedish Siamese twins, desperately seek out the magic oil that will separate Xena's soul from Daphne's body before it is too late for both of them. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Still in the faraway land of Chin, Xena (Lucy Lawless) struggles to master the beneficial powers of her late spiritual mentor, Lao Ma. Meanwhile, the despotic warlord Khan and his 100,000 warriors prepare to conquer the land. In her efforts to stop Khan, Xena finds out that her enemy has an unfair advantage, manifested in the evil sibling spirits Pao Ssu (Marie Matiko) and Ming T'ien (Daniel Sing), the latter wraith better known as the hideous Green Dragon. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Relaxing from previous skirmishes in the town of Spamona, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) finds times to train a new mare, Amarice (Jennifer Sky) falls in love with Joxer's new friend Arman (Mfundo Morrison), and Joxer (Ted Raimi) begins getting sentimental over Gabrielle. But there's no rest for Xena (Lucy Lawless), who must brace herself for a showdown with war lord Darcon (David Te Rare). Only one problem: Xena is now pregnant -- and she has no idea how it happened. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Summoned to the faraway land of Chin, Xena (Lucy Lawless) is met by Pao Ssu (Marie Matiko), who is anxious to protect the Book of Wisdom handed down by her mother (and Xena's spiritual mentor), Lao Ma. It soon develops that Pao Ssu is evil personified, intending to use both the book and a mysterious black powder for her own wicked purposes. Thus Xena casts her lot with Pao Ssu's virtuous sister, K'ao Hsin (also played by Marie Matiko). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the first of several Xena episodes set in India, Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) are forced to seek shelter from bad weather in a mountain cave. Here they meet the mysterious mystic Aidan (Jeremy Roberts), who teaches the pliable Gabrielle the art of serene meditation. Although Gabrielle quickly succumbs to Aidan's message, Xena realizes that their new acquaintance is a false guru who is siphoning Gabby's essential goodness for his own wicked purposes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
