- Great Escape: The main plot of the episode is to free the Black Wolf sympathizers.
- The Infiltration: Xena pretends to go undercover for Xerxes in order to find the Black Wolf
- La Résistance: The followers of the Black Wolf.
-
The Merch: As always, the business-minded Salmoneus hopes to make a quick buck with Black Wolf merchandise. - Rock–Paper–Scissors: Turns out there's a version of the game the guards play called 'Rock Parchment Dagger'.
