Episode 69 - Adventures in the Sin Trade, Part I - 9/28/98: Gabrielle sacrificed herself at the altar of Dahak to rid the world of Hope. Now, Xena begins a search for her friend's spirit. Her first stop, the underworld, is a dry well. ("She didn't come to me," Hades shrugs.) Then it dawns on Xena that Gabrielle had been initiated into the Amazons, who have their own land of the dead.; Guided by Gabrielle's faint voice in the wind, Xena rides off. Geographically, she's in Siberia; but spiritually, Xena is in an abyss where she confronts her dark past. What's more, she has to battle an evil shamaness along the way.; Leaving Argo, Xena heads north into Amazon territory and preforms a bizzare ritual which transports her to another plane. Here she is challenged by a dead Amazon Queen and through flashbacks we discover more about Xena's war against the amazons and her descent into dark magic with an evil Shamaness. In the present day, Xena helps the remainder of the Amazon tribe to battle the evil Beserker who is tormenting their land only to discover it is a puppet of Alti, the evil Shamaness Xena sided with against the Amazons long ago.
Episode 70 - Adventures in the Sin Trade, Part II - 10/05/98: In the past, Cyane offered Xena a chance at redemption but how she refused to take it. While in the present time, Xena leads the young amazons who are all that remain of the tribe in a mystic attack on Alti and her forces. In the process, she takes them to the place where all their elders including Cyane died at the hands of Xena.; Having put the pinch on the young Amazons, Xena uses their dying spirits to bloster her own powers for a massive showdown with Alti which finally releases the spirits of Cyane and the elder amazons so they can cross over into Eternity. In her dying moment, Alti torments Xena with a picture of the future, a future in which Xena and Gabrielle are being crucified, side by side by what appear to be Roman soldiers.
Episode 71 - A Family Affair - 10/12/98: Gabrielle visits her family with Xena in tow, and her family are less than impressed with her ex-warlord buddy.; Xena explores the lava pit that Gabrielle and Hope fell into and concludes that Gabrielle may have escaped. Xena and Joxer travel to Gabrielle's home village of Potiedia where they meet Gabrielle in the market square. However, she doesn't appear to know who Joxer is. Things become stranger when the shredded body of a man is found hanging in a tree just outside the village. After a tense meeting with Gabrielle's family, Xena and Gabrielle go out to lie in wait for the monster. When Xena is beaten by the monster and Gabrielle is ignored completely, Xena realises that this is Hope and her child, The Destroyer, and not Gabrielle at all.; Letting Joxer in on the secret, Xena dispatches him with a task of counting the flocks of sheep so that he's out of harms way and goes out after Hope, who posing as Gabrielle has taken Lilia out for a walk.; Catching up with them, Xena saves Lilia's life when Hope tricks her into going onto a derelict bridge which collapses. Hope escapes and visits her son, The Destroyer, and checks him for injuries. Realising that Xena is on to who she really is, Hope heads back for the village. Both Joxer and Xena then see her (seperately) and start tracking her... it soon turns out that Joxer is tracking Hope and soon ends up as dinner for the Destroyer, and Xena was tracking Gabrielle who is still on her way home.; After a tearful reunion, Xena and Gabrielle work on a plan to trick The Destroyer into killing his own mother, and despite a minor setback when Gabrielle is discovered by Hope, the deception works.

Having duely enlisted Xena and Gabrielle's help, he proceeds to return to the village and make plans for their defense. Xena and Gabrielle meanwhile seem more interesting in salving their ailments than saving the village. When Xena discovers that Argo is currently with the Scythians, she goes in to rescue her beloved horse, only to find she doesn't want to be rescued.; After foiling the Scythians attack on the village, Xena faces the leader of the Scythian forces in a showdown.

After a moving speech, Xena pursuades a group of villagers to torch their own village and uses the burnt-out remains as a location to set up a trap for the Roman forces.; Taking Gabrielle fully into her plan, Xena hopes to distract the Roman commanders and leave the uncontrolled armies to fight it out without a good strategist. Xena's hope is that they will destroy each other and that the rural villages will cease to be piggy in the middle between the waring roman factions.
