List of Xena episodes

The evil shamaness Alti is attacking Xena's baby's soul. Xena, Gabrielle, and Amarice voyage to the Yakut, the shamaness-leader of the Northern Amazons (last seen in Adventures in the Sin Trade II).

Notes

The scene when Gabrielle sacrifices the deer to gain entrance to the spiritual world is similar to Willow's ritual in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 6, to bring Buffy back to life.

When Gabrielle enters the spirit world and finds Alti, alti greets her: "Xena's little bitch!"

Later, as Alti thrusts her spirit-hand inside Xena to grab her child's soul, she says, "I've always wanted to be inside of you, Xena." ... Xena threatens her:

X: "There aren't many guarantees in life, Alti-- but I promise you this. If you harm my child-- I will hound you. I will hound you throughout all time, in between worlds. I will be your eternal damnation."
A: "Well, at least we'll be together again. I've so missed these intimate little moments."

Revelations: Amarice is not a "true" Amazon; she constructed her own identity, and always wanted to be an Amazon.
