Darphus, given immortality by Ares, wreaks havoc on the country-side once again. Together, Hercules, a now reformed Xena, a sulking Iolas and Salmoneus strive to end Darphus' reign of terror and, with much thanks, rid television viewers of Gragus, Ares' pitbull on steroids.
Xena: "I'm still going to Alysia to stop Darphus. I won't fail this time."
Hercules: "No, we're going to stop him."
Salmoneus: And, I'm gonna come watch ... for strictly literary reasons."Xena: "Hello, Iolas."
Iolas: "What's she doing here?"
Hercules: "We're on the same side."
Iolas: "Are you crazy? She tried to kill us."
Hercules: "You don't understand."
Iolas: "I understand, alright. You're falling into the same trap I fell into, and I will burn in Hades before I stick around here and watch you do it!"
Iolas: "You're talking about a woman who wanted to make history by trying to kill you."
Hercules: "That part of her life is over."Xena: "Are you a biographer or a bad comedian ... or, have you dreamed up some other get-rich-quick scheme?"
Salmoneus: "How about love slave, I'm versatile."
Xena: "You're deluded."Xena: "Everytime Iolas looks at me I feel his hate. He acts as if I'm trying to ..."
Hercules: "When the time comes, he'll only worry about Darphus."
Xena: "And what about you? Could you go back to hating me, to thinking of me as the enemy?"
Hercules: "No, I don't think that's possible."
Xena: "I have done terrible things. I have killed so many men that I'll never wash their blood from my hands."
Hercules: "You've already started, you saved that baby."
Xena: "But, when you help people, you honor the wife and children that Hera stole from you. There is nothing in my whole life that moves me that way."
Hercules: "There's the goodness in your heart."
Xena: "You really believe that?"
Hercules: "I wouldn't say it if I didn't."Iolas: "You know, the only person who has ever saved my life before was Hercules. Why'd you do it?"
Xena: "We're on the same side."
Iolas: "That's it?"
Xena: "According to the code I live by."
Iolas: "Because, it wasn't so long ago that you wanted to kill me to get to Hercules."
Xena: "I'll go to my grave regretting that. I was all twisted up with hate ... probably, the same feeling you have towards me."
Iolas: "Not anymore."Xena: "I'll go get some wood, but I'm still not going to cook."
Xena: "You know, I've been in a hundred battles, but the only thing that's ever come over me before them was a cold rage. But now ... is this what it feels like to be you, Hercules?"
Hercules: "I think you're just finding out how good it feels to challenge the forces of evil."
Xena: "I wouldn't be doing it if you hadn't given me the chance."Hercules: "Ready?"
Xena: "This is no time to say I'm not."
Hercules: "Then I'll see you when it's over."
Xena: "Make sure of that."
Xena: "Let me go. There's so much I have to make amends for. I've got to get started."
Hercules: "I wish you'd let me help."
Xena: "You already have, you unchained my heart."
