Xena and Gabrielle head to the warrior princess' hometown of Amphipolis to help break a siege headed by Athena herself.
!Tropes
* ArcherArchetype: Athena's personal guards prove to be among the best archers seen on the show so far, with Gabrielle pointing out they're capable of shooting further than usual.
* BatmanGambit: Xena pulls one here; after implying with Ares to get his aid in the siege, she brings what appeared to be the child to give to Athena in exchange for getting her forces to stand down. The threat of Eve's death spurs Ares to fight Athena while the remaining townspeople ambush her forces who were caught napping. When Ares demands her to commit to her end of the bargain, Xena replied she never made that deal, revealing the 'baby' to be a doll. She even set an explosion right where her mom was passing by where she and Ares was about to have sex to get her to call off the intercourse.
* TheDragon: Ilainus to Athena
* FairPlayVillain: Averted. Athena saw through Xena's ruse and refused to fight her in a one-on-one duel with no powers.
* HealingHands: Athena heals a wound on Ilainus' face.
* NationalAnthem: Cyrene and the citizens of Amphipolis sing the city anthem in defiance of Athena's plea to surrender.
* RousingSpeech: Gabrielle gives one to a group of citizens on the barricades when they considered surrending:

* TheSiege: This time taking place in Xena's hometown.
* TunnelNetwork: It's revealed that Amphipolis has a network of tunnels that run through the city. Xena tried to use them to flank enemy forces. [[GenreSavvy Athena saw that coming.]]
* WaterSourceTampering: Athena revealed to Xena that she poisoned the water supply to hasten the end of the siege.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Athena's healing powers have its limits against mortal wounds, as she failed to save Ilainus.
