Eve holds Gabrielle’s scrolls. Eve: You preserved Xena for all the ages in these scrolls Gabrielle. Thank you. Eve moves off. Xena is looking out the window. She sees Ares outside in the rain. Xena: Watch the back. Xena runs out, drawing her sword. Gabrielle sees a shadow at the back. She draws her sais. Xena steps outside, sword and chakram drawn, looking for Ares. Gabrielle looks around the tavern. |
| Xena: Ares?! |
| The ghost of Joxer appears. Joxer (like a ghost):Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. Oh-h-h-h-h. Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. Joxer falls. He now looks normal. Joxer: Oh. Oh. Oh! Ow! Ow! Damn! Materializing is not like it is in the brochure. Hi. Gabrielle: Joxer. Y--you’re, uh— Joxer: Uh yeah, I’m dead. Gabrielle: I miss you Joxer. Joxer: Then you shouldn’t ’a let Eve kill me. |
 |
The Furies appear. Gabrielle: Joxer, I didn’t let Eve kill you. Joxer (whispers): Kill her Gabrielle. Kill her before she kills somebody else. Hope: Good point. Gabrielle turns to see Hope. Hope: Hello Mother. |
 |
Gabrielle: Hope? Hope: Xena’s making a terrible mistake. Trying to save Eve? The same mistake you made, when you didn’t kill me when you had the chance. Lightning flashes. |

Xena turns and holds her sword on Ares. Ares: Hello, Xena. |
