6-01 Coming Home

First airing was Oct. 2, 2000.

The story starts out with soldiers carrying shields walking through the woods with Amazons watching
and hiding.

Xena, Gabrielle, and Eve are walking through a clear-cut burned up forest. Gabrielle wonders who
would burn the Amazon forest. Xena says Ares sent a message for them to meet him there.

Back to the soldiers and Amazons - fighting. Xena, Gabrielle and Eve hear this and run to save the
day. The Amazons are losing until they hear Xena's war cry. Everyone fights. Eve hesitates, then
throws a couple of soldiers around. The soldiers run away.

After the battle, introductions are made. The queen is Marga; her second in command is Varia. They
know who X&G are. Marga tells Xena she needs to kill one more god - Ares.

Xena tells Gabrielle to go with them while she check outs Ares and his army.

In Ares' tent, he is trying to kill a pesky fly but fails. Xena is there, catches the fly, and
makes fun of him. He says the Amazons have Ambrosia and he wants it to regain his god-hood. She
says she will help him destroy the Amazons if he will give her control of his army. He is
suspicious until she tells him being good isn't fun. Gabrielle comes in and agrees with Xena.

Varia tells Eve she looks familiar. Varia want to fight her but Eve walks away.

Eve joins Xena and Gabrielle in Ares' tent. She says she should lead his army, not Xena. Xena
suggests that once they have the Ambrosia, they should split it four ways. Ares looks happy.
