			At the end of the episode, Gabrielle and Eli talk; she is concerned, because she was so easily tricked by Indrajit.
			:E: It's hard, the way of love. It may not be right for you. But if you choose to follow it, you must do so with all your heart. You'll fail more than once. But don't give up hope. In the end, you'll redeem the world.
			:G: Where are you going?
			:E: Home. I need to take the message to my own people. I believe they'll be the most receptive. Thank you, Gabrielle. You were the first one to understand me. I won't forget you.
			He walks off, and Gabrielle throws her staff into the river. Xena walks over to her.
			:X: So, it's the way of love for you, huh?
			:G: Yeah. ... Yours is the way of the warrior. I think I've always known that.
			:X: And I've always known that it was wrong for you. I'm sorry I took you so far from your truth."
			:G: Don't be sorry, Xena. Do you think I could have understood the power of sefless love, if it weren't for our friendship?
