The episode begins with two cars pulling up in front of each other in an out of the way location on a dark night. A tall attractive woman with long dark hair steps out of her red Firebird and meets the most hideous man I think I’ve ever laid my blue eyes upon (I believe Michael Hurst was playing this character). Okay, he’s not that ugly, but close. He opens a box and shows her the two perfectly preserved 2000-year-old strands of hair he has in a box and Xena’s chakram. Speaking of the Chakram, check out the reference to it on the pole just over Claire’s (Alti) right shoulder in the scene. I know, we love to point out the Chakram references in the episodes! J The attractive woman who seriously resembles Alti is very pleased with her new acquisition and takes the box, leaving the man for good. Thank the gods too, because after one look at him I didn’t ever want to see that again! She pays him, takes her goods and high tails it out of there. I would too from the looks of that sceevy looking guy who severely needs a dentist.

We then see flashback clips from Them Bones, Them Bones of Xena and Alti. We next see my Xena room. Oh, no just kidding, but the room really does resemble mine. I’m pretty sure that’s my big screen TV in the scene though. J Okay, back to the episode. The scene changes to one heck of a great Xena room and a big screen TV is there showing the clip I just referenced. We see three Xena fans watching the TV and the guy thinks there should be more Joxer clips. The phone rings and it’s the woman who looks exactly like Alti! I wonder who it could be? Oh, it’s Alexis she says and wants to know if the clips they have made are complete. She wants them to meet and the scene changes to a high-rise building. Alexis is working on the computer and the three Xenites rush in all excited, hoping everything worked. Alexis motions to the two clear tables that stand up and we see Xena and Gabrielle there, asleep. The three Xenites rush over all excited and Lea (Allison Wall-Minya) says she thinks she’s going to cry.

It seems they are using the clips to make Xena and Gabrielle complete. Lea is obsessed with Gabrielle, Polly is a big Xena fan and doofus boy is a Joxer fan.

The three Xenites argue over which clips they will download to the ancient gals and they hook them up with EKG wires. Lea is upset because no one seems to want to use her clips of Gabrielle. They are more interested in doing Xena’s. We see fight scene clips of Xena from various episodes and they are all psyched by the display. Xena and Gabrielle are still asleep. Oh, by the way Gabby’s hair is long. Lea wants to load some of the clips of the baths they share, but Alexis tells them that’s it for the night and they all leave. 

Later that evening someone with black gloves slips into the lab and disconnects Gabby’s EKG wires. They load clips of Evil Xena into the computer. We start to see a response out of the comatose Xena as the various clips from Destiny, Adventures of the Sin Trade, The Debt, and Armageddon Now, Part 2 (where Gabby’s legs are broken).

Lea and Alexis enter the lab the next day and Lea freaks when she sees Gabby. Doofus boy has cut her hair! By the gods! She tells him she wanted her to be ‘Classic Gabby’ and he hands her a strand of her hair saying, "Only in the reruns babe." They discover that someone has loaded the Evil Xena clips into the computer. Oh, no... who could it be? Could it be Ares? Or is it that dastardly Alti? Hmmm... we shall see! They realize that they are about to wake up and are worried which Xena will wake up. Lea insists that they load her Gabby tapes for both Xena and Gabrielle. They show clips from One Against an Army and The Way. Polly has had enough and stops it. They agree that the lovey-dovey stuff is putting them to sleep. So, Lea suggests loading Polly’s Gabby section and it’s a clip of the slicing and dicing Gabby from Ides of March. Oh, yeah baby! Alexis says that they need more positive influences for Xena and suggests that they show clips that show the consequences of her dark past. We see Xena confessing in the town square in A Necessary Evil. Xena reacts and wakes up after the clip is over.

She’s confused as to what is going on and throws her Chakram that hits the machines and breaks in two when it returns. She puts the pinch on doofus boy and wants to know what’s going on. Alexis is pleased with her reaction and Gabrielle wakes up. They explain that they reproduced them and they are in the future. Gabby suggests taking the pinch off of doofus boy and she does. Personally, she should have left it on him.

Lea explains that they brought them there because they need heroes. Alexis is put off by her explanation and bites her tongue. Something’s fishy with that chick. Could she be? Hmmm... I wonder. Well anywho, they show them clips of what’s going on in their world such as violence, crimes and civil unrest (It kind of looked like what was going on in South Florida today). They tell Xena they need someone to go out there and kick butt. Xena says, "You’ve got the right girl for that." She’s appalled by what she’s seeing on the screen. Xena tells them they’re hungry and asks if they have any food. They eagerly bring Xena over a box of donuts and open it. She doesn’t know what they are and doofus boy (who has a stupid hat on) holds up the donut, showing her how to eat it. Xena looks at him skeptically and after he takes a bite of it, she licks the donut.

The scene changes to the clip on the screen of Gabby getting on Argo behind Xena from Sins of the Past, then it changes to various scenes of Xena and Gabby together such as the hot tub scene from ADITL, A Good Day, ITADITH and we hear a narrator (Gabby) talking as they are sitting eating pizza and watching the screen. Gabby is enthralled with the cup of soda she is drinking out of and laughs at what is said, 
"We never really die as we were never really born." I take it Gabby thinks it’s funny about what was said. Xena is bored with the clips, but loves the pizza. Polly is sitting between Xena and Gabby (how dare she?) doting over her and thinking about how Xena could kick Jackie Chan’s ass blah, blah, Doofus boy thinks they are hot and wonders if they are horny after 2000 years, thinking he’s going to be their 21st century man. Yeah, dream on! Lea is on the opposite side of Gabby, watching her adoringly as Gabby is playing around with her straw. Lea is upset that they almost ruined everything with their macho disks and has an idea that she’s happy with; she’ll show them an entire season of Ellen reruns later on. Hey, good choice!

The clips change to Return of Callisto at Gabby’s wedding where Xena kisses her. Gabby looks embarrassed and turns to Xena then back to the screen. Xena is kicked back in her chair munching on the pizza and totally digging the scene. She smiles approvingly and says, "Alright," as she bites into her pizza and watches the kiss scene from Return of the Valkryies. She discredits the way that happened and says she woke her up before she went to Valhalla. Gabby agrees and the Xenites are impressed with their memory. Xena is picking mushrooms off her pizza or maybe it was anchovies and Gabby is slurping her soda. Lea is admiringly staring at Gabby who looks at her in an uncomfortable way from the look she is giving her. They want to know what they think of the show and Xena answers, "Well, that one that plays me, she’s kind of sexy."

Gabrielle isn’t so impressed and says, "They have taken liberties with my scrolls," as Xena adds, "Yeah, and what are they trying to say about our relationship anyways?" Gabby sarcastically answers, "Who knows?" Doofus boy tries to ask Xena if she and Ares ever had sex, but Xena scowls at him and tells him, "Get a life, pervert."” Gabrielle stops slurping her never ending drink (kind of like her bag that she carries all of her belongings in. The drink had to have been larger than a big gulp for how long she was sucking on it) rubs her arm to calm her and says, "Now, now, Xena." Xena isn’t too pleased with everything and tosses her slice of pizza in the box. She stands up and the pizza box falls to the floor as Gabby joins her off to the side out of earshot of the others. Alexis has been extremely quiet throughout this whole scene. Xena asks Gabrielle, "What’s next?" Gabrielle suggests finding a mission and helping out. Xena tells her, "That whole greater good thing? I don’t know it kind of doesn’t appeal this time around." Xena looks down between Gabby’s breasts and tells her, "Hey, you got some sugar and fat," (a reference to the donuts) pointing at her cleavage. Gabby looks down and Xena hits her in the nose with her finger saying, "I always wanted to do that," and walks away.  She stops and turns back to Gabby saying, "If that pork starts talking back to you they’ve got a whole room back her designed for the sole purpose of relieving yourself. Well, hey!" In a sarcastic teasing way. Gabrielle is skeptical of the way Xena is acting, as it’s so unlike her, but is intrigued saying, "A whole room?"  and Xena exits to a different room. Alexis expresses her concerns to Gabrielle that they may have awakened the evil Xena and would like to discuss it with her. She walks Gabrielle outside and the police are waiting for her. Alexis tells them that she broke into the building dressed as some TV character. The police try to grab her and she pushes them away. She tries to explain that she is from 2000 years ago, but they aren’t buying it. Hmmm... I wonder why? Alexis tells them she’s crazy and Gabby draws her Sais on the cops who pull out their guns. Alexis convinces Gabby to put down her weapons as the scene changes to the Xenites sitting around Xena how is sound asleep in the chair all lounged out with her head resting on the back of the chair. They are watching Joxer clips! Of course, the majority of them are of Gabby kicking his butt.

Xena jerks awake and sits up, startled. Alexis comes in panicked and tells Xena the police took Gabrielle. She’s worried and wants to know who the police are. Alexis explains that they are the local warlords and that they took her to the jail. She points out where the jail is located and Xena runs out after her sweetheart. Alexis stops her and gives Xena her real Chakram. Alexis is very pleased with the outcome of the change of events. The Xenites finally figure out what’s happening and that Alexis is... Joxer! No, just kidding, it’s Alti! Alti explains that she enjoyed the fact that Xena’s reputation, as a do-gooder was lost for eternity. She explained that after Xena died she hid the scrolls and she thought that she could just sit back enjoying the unchecked evolution of evil on earth. She’s pissed that this hideous TV show started celebrating her as a defender of righteousness. She turns to the screen and maniacally says, "We’ll see how long that reputation lasts," and blinks as the screen changes to the local news reports. They are reporting that a woman dressed as the popular TV character Xena: Warrior Princess broke into the jail and freed a woman resembling her sidekick, throwing down a reign of terror on the city. They show interviews of policemen and bystanders that witnessed Xena’s display and Alti is very happy by the turn of events.  Did I mention Alti is looking good? Well, she is! J Alti smiles and says that once she has alienated herself from all that is good she’ll follow her. She orders the Xenites out of the room and they leave quickly.

More news clips of Xena in the city are shown and the scene changes to a junkyard. It’s Xena’s version of junkyard wars! She’s sharpening a sword with the use of a grinder and has safety goggles and earplugs on as Gabrielle runs up to her.  Gabrielle asks her, "What are you doing?"  She stops the machine and takes the goggles off saying that she’s making her some new weapons and that "These things are hopeless in hand to hand combat," As she pulls a gun out of her boot and aims it at the ground. It fires and throws her hand back as you hear a cat meow loudly. Gabrielle jumps back startled and Xena says, "See what I mean?" and tosses the gun away as you hear the gun fire again. This scene is very funny to me for some odd reason! It just cracked me up. Xena has created a sword for herself and Gabrielle is admonishing her that she could have killed someone getting her out of the City dungeon. Xena tells her she couldn’t just leave her there to rot for the rest of her life and if they want trouble they’re going to get it as she’s admiring her new weapon that she created.

Alti pulls up in her red Firebird with the terrified Xenites along for the ride. Alti tells her she missed her fire and her fury. Xena finally recognizes that she’s Alti! Duh! I don’t know why she didn’t realize it sooner or even Gabrielle for that matter. It must have been one of those things like Clark Kent. No one could recognize him as Superman behind those glasses. Alti taunts Xena asking her if she remembers what they used to have and shows her flashbacks of their time together. The Xenites get out of the car and check out the scene. She asks, "Remember the thrill of conquest before she came into your life?" and motions towards Gabrielle who has moved in front of Xena; Alti is behind Xena. They show clips from The Rheingold. Gabrielle tells Xena, "Don’t listen to her," and Alti says, "Doesn’t her little voice remind you of her betrayal?" We then see clips from The Debt where Gabby is in Ming Tien’s bed, Solan’s death, Bitter Suite-the Gabdrag (yes, that was revisited). Xena angrily asks Alti, "Why’d you bring her back?"  Alti walks up to Gabrielle and shoves her to Xena saying, "Consider her my gift to you."

Gabrielle tries to talk Xena saying she wasn’t like this in the end and to think of all the good they accomplished in the world. They show clips from Amphipolis Under Siege and then Xena flashes to the present saying, "Gabrielle?" Gabrielle adds, "The good we did for each other," (now it starts to get good!) and the clips change to Sacrifice where Gabrielle tells Xena, "After all we’ve been through I am with you till the end." Then to One Against an Army, the ending of A Family Affair, The Ides of March prison scene where Xena apologizes for all the times she didn’t treat her right, to The Abyss where they are in the cave and Gabby tells her, "I’m a part of you. I want it to be like that forever, I love you." Then it moves back to Sacrifice and Xena says to Gabby, "You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You gave my life meaning and joy," as she hugs Gabrielle in the scene.

The scene changes to Xena who angrily looks at Gabrielle and shoves her to the side as she attacks Alti. A huge battle ensues between the two as Gabby gets the Xenites to safety. Alti hops into her fine ride and tries to run Xena over, but she keeps jumping over the car. Alti finally hits her and tries to stop the car, but crashes into a battery charger that has open wires. It electrifies the car and Alti says, "Great move Xena. You’ll make a great sidekick." Xena draws her Chakram and says, "I’ll give you sidekick," and tosses her Chakram at the chain holding a car above Alti’s head. It drops down on her but Xena knows full well she’s not dead just yet. She’s searching for her and Alti pops up behind her. They begin to fight again and Xena gets tossed on her backside. Polly isn’t standing any of that and confronts Alti as Gabrielle tries to verbally warn her, but the chick goes anyway. She humorously tosses her arms around like she’s a martial arts whiz and Alti slaps her once, sending her straight into unconsciousness.

Xena and Alti continue to duke it out. Alti tries to push Xena into the electrified car, but Xena lies down on her back and tosses Alti over her into the car. We now have charbroiled Alti. I really don’t think she’s coming back from this one. She is a permanent, scorched fixture on the roof of that Firebird! The sparks catch and head towards a bunch of barrels of flammable liquids. Xena tells everyone to run and they hightail it out of there. Gabby and Xena help the Xenites get over the fence as the fire quickly approaches them. Of course, doofus boy pushes the women out of the way to get over first. They know they aren’t going to make it over the fence in time so they embrace one another for the explosion. What a way for the gals to go out, in each other’s arms! 

We see the Xenites walking down the road sad that there was nothing left of them. They decided that they were disappointed, as they seemed more dynamic on TV. They move off the road as a taxi passes and we see through the back window that it’s Xena and Gabby. Gabby clinks her champagne glass with Xena’s before they drink it and the best part is that Xena has her arm up on the back dash, around Gabrielle.

Doofus boy asks if anyone will believe them at the conventions. The women don’t think so and doofus boy suggests that they do someone else. He has Dr. Spock's toenails at home. The gals can’t believe he’s a trekkie and he tries to play it off saying he’s not proud of it as the episode ends.

Enjoy!
