* LesYay: The most prominent example so far, as Gabrielle imagines Xena kissing her on the lips. In RealLife, she was kissing Autolycus instead.

* BigDamnHeroes: During TheTeaser.
-->'''Thug:''' ''[to Gabrielle]'' You just made an enemy.\\
'''Iolaus:''' ''[popping up behind him]'' What a coincidence. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner So have you.]]
* ColdBloodedTorture: Velasca inflicts some on Autolycus both to learn how to get to the hidden ambrosia ''and'' because she's a sadist. Auto doesn't break (suffering a broken arm and several bruises in the process), but she finds the Dagger of Helios on his person and puts the pieces together, anyway.
* DueToTheDead: After catching up with Gabrielle, Ephiny and the assembled Amazons place their swords on Xena's coffin as a sign of respect. They later want to burn the body as part of their funerary ritual, as they consider Xena an Amazon in all but name.
* FriendshipMoment:
** Iolaus consoles Gabrielle and gives her some advice about dealing with loss.
** Ephiny tries to help Gabrielle deal with letting go.
** Xena thanks Autolycus for all this and says he's always someone she can trust.
* HiddenHeartOfGold:
** While bidding farewell to Autolycus.
--->'''Autolycus:''' I let you experience what it's like to be Autolycus. You were in there. You were controlling my bodily functions. That's not something I do for everyone.\\
'''Xena:''' No, you don't often let people see who you really are, either. I was in there. I know. Despite all your bluster and bravado, Autolycus, you're a nice person. I knew I could trust you. I always will.\\
'''Autolycus:''' Yes, well, yes, there you have it. Thank you.
** Gabrielle reflects on being possessed by Xena, saying she actually felt warm, friendly, and loving. Xena points out this was during a fight, but Gabrielle says she felt protected instead of savage.


Added DiffLines:

* LastRequest: Gabrielle had initially intended to honor Xena's request to be buried next to Lyceus, though she's talked into letting the Amazons put the body on the pyre.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Part of Gabrielle struggling over letting go is that Xena died when so much was left unsaid.
-->'''Iolaus:''' We always think we have plenty of time. We know people are gonna leave us, but we never face up to it. What would you have told her?\\
'''Gabrielle:''' I would have told her how empty my life was before she came, and all the lessons I learned, and that I love her.\\
'''Iolaus:''' Gabrielle, you just told her.


Added DiffLines:

* RequiredSpinoffCrossover: Iolaus makes a brief appearance in TheTeaser and the start of the first act before leaving to inform Hercules of what has happened.
* {{Sadist}}: Velasca describes herself as such, while torturing Autolycus.
-->'''Velasca:''' I like pain. I like what it does to people, and I like what it makes people do.
