5-10 Lyre, Lyre, Hearts On Fire
First airing was Jan, 17, 2000.
I'm not going to try to synopsize the whole episode, but just hit the main scenes.
Draco and his men dig up the golden Lyre of Terpsichore. But because it's on Amazon lands, a band
of Amazons led by Amoria demand he turn it over to them. Before they start fighting over it, Xena,
Gabrielle and Joxer show up. Xena and everyone but Draco and his men start singing "War, What Is It
Good For?"
Then Xena tells them there will be a battle of bands to see who gets the lyre. They go to
the musical capital of Greece - Melodia, to have the contest. Word gets out, the villagers sing,
and everyone wants a chance. Xena has Gabrielle audition the bands and tells Joxer to get villagers
to build a stage.
Everyone Gabrielle hears is terrible. They hear something good outside. It is Jace (with
a Spanish accent), Joxer's older brother, and his band of male dancers. They sing and dance to
'Dancing In The Moonlight.' Gabrielle and Xena dig it but Joxer is embarrassed and leaves.
Amoria and Joxer flirt with each other. Gabrielle is a little bit jealous.
Cyrene and Xena have a reunion. Cyrene puts out an ad for a father for Xena's baby. Xena
has to deal with potential fathers.
