6-14 Path of Vengeance



First airing was Feb. 2, 2001.

The story starts out with a tribal council of Amazon queens. They are talking about being in the
valley where the Amazons got their start. They are joining together into one tribe. Varia comes in
and says Romans have been spotted in the woods.

Cut to Eve waking alone in the woods. She hears something and looks around. She sees a
contingent of Roman soldiers. The leader says the emperor sent them to guard her. Eve isn't happy.
Suddenly they are surrounded by Amazons. Eve yells out that she's a representative of Eli, and Rome
and she's there for peace. The Amazons attack and everyone but Eve fights. One of the soldiers is
told to go back to the last village to find an officer and tell him what is happening. Eve is taken
prisoner.

Xena and Gabrielle are in the village trying to get a room but with all the Romans in
town there are no empty rooms. Xena comments about the Romans pulling back to Rome. The solider
runs up to them and tells them they were attacked by hundreds of Amazons. Xena says no tribe is
that big. He says they were sent to guard the messenger of Eli, and she is a prisoner. Xena says
they are going to kill her.

One of the Amazon queens named Cyane asks what to do with the Roman prisoners. Varia
tells her to finish the job. Cyane says her tribe doesn't kill prisoners. Eve says they were sent
to protect her not to fight and if she kills them Varia will be no better than Livia. Varia says
she was banished, but now that she's come back she will face what she's done. Varia tells Cyane to
have her clan protect the pass.

An arrow lands in front of X&G. Xena recognizes it is from Cyane's tribe and wonders why they are
so far south. Cyane says Varia, queen of the Amazon nation said no one could pass. Gabrielle
introduces herself and Cyane is honored to meet her. Xena sees the Romans with their hands tied
behind them with arrows sticking out of their backs. Xena says Cyane's namesake would not have
stood for that. Cyane takes them to the council meeting.

Varia is telling the council Livia was banished but now she's back and should be executed. Xena and
Gabrielle arrive and Xena says she's not leaving without Eve. Gabrielle says Xena is there by her
permission and she can defend her daughter to the council.

Varia tells them about the time Livia attacked their village six years ago - Roman soldiers and
Livia come into the village and they begin to fight. The Romans begin taking prisoners, including
Varia's sister Tura. Varia has a chance to stab Livia in the back but hesitates because it is her
first battle. Livia turns around and knocks her down. She starts toward her with her sword but Tura
runs up and lays across Varia. Livia kills her.

Back to present and Varia is saying if she had killed Livia her sister would be alive as would her
tribe. Eve admits she those things. Varia says since she returned from banishment she has to die.
Gabrielle insists Xena has the right to defend Eve. Xena is given an hour to prepare a defense. She
tells Gabrielle Varia's sword looks like the one Livia had and she got it from Ares.

Xena confronts Varia, the have words and begin fighting Xena tries a move that Varia blocks. Xena
says the only one alive who knows about the move is Ares. Varia says he is helping her rebuild the
Amazon nation. Xena says he doesn't care about the Amazons. Varia insists she needs Ares.

Xena asks why Eve raided the village as Livia, she answers for slaves. Xena tells her to tell the
whole truth. Eve says she was fighting two campaigns and winning. Ares told her she ought to take
over the Amazon lands for the glory and she could sell them for slaves.

Xena says that Ares was behind the raids and Eve says yes. Varia says Ares wants a strong Amazon
nation. Xena says he only helps himself. Xena leaves. Gabrielle wants to be heard in the council.
She tells Xena she can make them understand how Ares is. Xena says okay but if she has to she'll
get Eve out the old fashioned way.

Varia goes somewhere and yells for Ares. She wants the truth. He says Artemis was content to let
the Amazons dwindle away so he had Livia raid the village and when word spread the tribes would
come together. About the slaves, Ares said he knew Gurkhan wouldn't want the Amazons - too high
spirited. Livia tried to sell them at a market but no one was buying so she threw them overboard
still wearing their shackles.

Gabrielle wants to know, since Ares was behind the raids, why condemn Eve? They say it was her
sword and she admitted to the crimes. When the verdict is announced, Gabrielle has to side with the
Amazons. Xena is angry. Gabrielle says she had no choice, they would have kicked her off the
council and voted against Eve anyway. This way she will have a voice in the sentencing. Xena walks
away not able to talk to Gabrielle.

Xena goes out into a field and calls for Ares. Instead of appearing she tells her the story about a
swan and a scorpion. Xena is impatient. He finishes the story and appears behind her. He says like
the scorpion, he is doing what he does. He lost al lot of worshippers when he was mortal and now
needs the two armies fighting each other and both worshipping him. He says Eve just happened to
show up and got involved of her own free will. Xena says she can't kill gods now but she's not
going to let it happen.

Varia, in the name of Ares, condemns Eve to death. Gabrielle challenges her, saying until she
defeats her she isn't queen. Gabrielle tells Xena she has to do this her way and not to interfere.

Gabrielle and Varia meet in a ring surrounded by Amazons. They both wrap their fists with cloth and
begin fighting. Varia is a bit better than Gabrielle, but Gabrielle still gets in some good licks.
At the same time she tries to talk Varia about of following Ares. Eventually Varia defeats
Gabrielle. Xena goes to her as they are dragging Eve off for execution. She tells Gabrielle she has
to do what she has to do. Gabrielle tells her to go, it's okay.

Xena yells out to Ares again. She says he's there to gloat. He says he's looking forward to Xena
taking on a few dozen Amazons as she saves Eve.

Xena confronts Varia and tells her she isn't doing this for the Amazon nation, but out of guilt for
not killing Livia when she had the chance. They fight on a wooden walkway over bubbling hot mud.
Both get in good punches and throw the other around a lot.

Xena decides she isn't going to fight Varia and sheathes her sword. Varia is about to strike a
killing blow then she sees her sister's face where Xena is. She breaks down crying. Xena cuts Eve's
chains with her sword and Eve runs to console Varia. Xena tells the rest of them that if they
follow Ares this is the pain that awaits them. Varia tells the amazons Xena is their friend and
they have to talk. They leave with Eve.

Ares applauds Xena, saying she had it planned all along.

Back in the council hut Varia condemns Livia, Killer of Amazons to death, so Eve the messenger of
peace can live. Cyane tells Eve she is free to go. Xena tells Varia she knew the truth was inside
her.

Outside, Eve tells X&G she plans to go to Chin and Indus to spread the word of Eli. She thanks
Gabrielle for giving Xena such happiness. And thanks Xena for giving her life so many times. As she
leaves Xena yells for her to say out of trouble.

............

For some reason I wasn't expecting to like this one very much, but I did. Not a perfect episode,
none are, but there were a few things I can't let go by.

Of course, there was the Amazon queen telling Xena had had one hour to build a defense for Eve. I
hate it when they say hours of minutes.

Maybe Eve shouldn't have said she was also a representative of Rome.

Another thing was it seemed like Varia had a change of heart just a tad too quickly. She must have
some kind of stamina - a big fight against Gabrielle, and still enough energy to give Xena a run
for her money.

Nice to see Ares again and still up to his old, nefarious says.

Good fight between Gabrielle and Varia. Liked Gabrielle's fighting outfit. I think Gabrielle was a
bit intimidated by Varia. But in for a penny, in for a dollar.

Good fight between Xena and Varia. It seems like when Xena's fighting hand to hand, she ought to
try to put on the Pinch. After Ares told Xena she had a plan all along, I wondered how much of the
fight she was letting Varia win. She'd been SOL if Varia hadn't had the change of heart and tried
to kill her. On second thought, those two or three sly smiles of Xena's during the fight may have
been a clue that she was picking her spot when to let Varia have the upper hand.

The redheaded Amazon was Celtic. I wonder how they knew to come to Greece.

The story about the Swan and the Scorpion is also the Frog and the Spider, and the Frog and the
Scorpion (take your pick).

Even though Ares and Mars are supposed to be the same god, I would have liked to have seen how that
played out when Ares was in Rome. I would have liked to see Ares' reaction if someone called him
Mars.

Nice touch - Eve going to console Varia.

I thought it was kind of odd that when Eve was set free, she hugged Gabrielle but not Xena.

I thought everyone did a really great job. Ares was as smarmy and deceitful and as much fun as
always. Varia was very good; Tsianina Joelson did a great job. Of course, Lucy and Renee were
excellent. Gabrielle was the voice of reason (she really had no choice but to challenge Varia) and
Xena had to TCB when things didn't turn out like they wanted.

........

The cast / crew interview was with Joel Metzger (writer) and Adrienne Wilkinson. Joel said it was
Rob's idea to have Ares mixed up with the Amazons. Adrienne said she loves Livia so much it's like
a gift to her when she get to play her - the hair and makeup and costumes. Even her posture
changes. And she loves the fighting. She said she discovered something about Livia - during the
table read and they came to the part where Ares told Varia Livia threw the Amazons overboard. She
stopped them to ask if Ares was lying or if it really happened. She was told (by Rob I think) that
Livia really did that, Adrienne said she thought, "What a bitch!" She also said Eve finally
accepted who she was and what her path was.

This was the last episode Eve appears in.

.....

Liked this one a lot. A 9 out of 10.

A print of some kind of Greek oil paining. It took me a while to realize what I was looking
at. It's not bad at all, but not what I would expect from Renee (Not saying that as a bad thing!!!
Just not like her other paintings).
25 prints up for bid. Current bid is $55.

Looks like it will be this weekend before the next Xena ep. Finally broke down to went to a
doctor. Turns out I have a sinus infection, and a "touch" of bronchitis. Three prescriptions, lots
of fluids and rest. Hard to concentrate on anything for very long.
