5-21 Eve

First airing was May 8, 2000.

The story starts out with scenes from "Livia" - including Xena breaking out of the ice
coffin, seeing Livia riding into Rome with the followers of Eli as prisoners, and Xena saying to
Gabrielle, "I've gotta go after her, Gabrielle. I gotta save her from herself from herself -- and
the gods." [But at the end of "Livia" she says, "We've gotta go after her, Gabrielle. She'll do
something terrible. We've gotta save her from herself -- and the gods."]

Xena, Gabrielle, Joxer, and Virgil are going after Eve (walking because Joxer and Virgil
have no horses). Xena says they are tracking Livia, not Eve. Gabrielle tells Xena Eve will be Eve
again when she looks inside herself and sees Xena there.

Roman soldiers of Livia are killing villagers. Livia is walking around with a bloody
sword. A man tells her that they lived through Callisto's raids. Livia says Callisto did good work,
but she's not Callisto, and chops his head off.

Xena, Gabrielle, Joxer and Virgil enter the village. Lots of people are hung on crosses.
Xena says that her daughter did this, and looks horrified. Virgil says he knows these people --
they were his friends. A note on one of the crosses says "Rome needs no mother." An old woman
crying over a body, spits on Xena. She says Livia told her to ask Xena why she was killing them.
Xena has tears running down her cheeks.
