6-04 Who's Gurkhan?

First airing was on Oct. 23, 2000.

This episode starts out with Xena, Gabrielle, Eve, and Virgil walking into Poteidaia (no horses?).
Gabrielle is anxious to see if her parent's house is still standing. But when they get to the farm,
Gabrielle comments on how rundown everything looks. Xena urges her to go to the house while they
wait outside the fence. Just before she knocks on the door, it opens and a twenty-five-year-older
Lila opens it. They embrace.

They are inside, it is getting dark, and thunder can be heard. Lila sadly mentions to Gabrielle
that she wishes Sarah was there to see her. Gabrielle asks who Sarah is. Lila says it's her
daughter. Then Gabrielle asks where her parents are. Lila tells her Sarah was kidnapped by Gurkhan
and taken to Mogador to be a slave in his harem. Eve tells them it's in north Africa. Lila then
tells them that their parents, and her husband, went to buy her back but they were beheaded.

Gabrielle runs out of the house and Xena follows. She tells Gabrielle they will go after Sarah.
Gabrielle tells her it will be more than a rescue mission. She wants vengeance, and she will kill
him. The skies open up and they are drenched with a hard rain.

Autolycus would have been great but after the 25 yr sleep I'm guessing
he would have been too old for the role.

You're right. I never thought about that. Which means he probably wouldn't have been in the series
finale that SHOULD have been in Greece (with all the regulars
-- Ares, Aphrodite, Autolycus and
Joxer [in flashbacks?] rather than in Japan).
