6-12 The God You Know

The first airing was Jan 29, 1991.

The story starts with Xena and Gabrielle walking through a field of dead people. Gabrielle asks
what kind of animal would do that. Archangel Michael appears and Xena draws her sword, still pissed
that he tried to send her to hell. He says Caligula did the killing. Xena knows his reputation -
psycho, sex addict, and murderer, your run-of-the-mill Roman emperor. Gabrielle adds that he thinks
he's a god. Michael says he is a god. He wants to be one of the great gods of the Roman Pantheon.
And he kills anyone who won't swear allegiance to his cult of blood, including the followers of
Eli. Also Eve has gone to Rome to confront him. X&G ride off to Rome.

In Rome, Caligula is driving a chariot dragging two dead men. He stops and has a soldier
give a civilian his sword and tells the man to stab him. He does with no ill effects. The man
kisses Caligula's ring. But when he wants an old man to kiss it, he refuses and Caligula says he
forfeits his life. Eve appears and tells Caligula to release the man. A soldier whispers to
Caligula that she is Eve of the Elijans (followers of Eli). Caligula says he wishes he knew her
when she was the Bitch of Rome. She says she is now the bitch for Rome and wants Caligula to know
his days of tyranny are over.
