Notes
- Xena's first fight of the episode is conducted with a pot and frying pan, echoing Xena-style comedic scenes from many films with women fighting.
- Classic comic moment when Gabrielle, rather than being grateful to X for saving her, is upset that X ruined their only frying pan by using it as a weapon.
- Self-mockery on the show when Xena employs her special pinch: "You have thirty seconds..." Yeah, yeah, he knows; he's heard all about it; what does she want to know.
- Goddess-worship! The next scene ("Finding Your Way") starts with Gabrielle making an offering to a goddess, possibly Demeter? Some hearth or agricultural goddess.
- G, still playing up the traditional female-male dynamic, nags Xena for not getting directions.
- X & G are playing 20 questions when the scene opens. G: "Are you male or female? X: Male.
- Famous scene where X is fishing & tossing fish at G; while Hower is mooning over X and wondering if she would ever settle down, G says, "No, she likes what I do --"
- Toilet humor! G is rehearsing, forgets a line, and goes to look at the scroll. She whips it out only to discover a corner torn off. Looking over Argo (the horse) she sees Xena emerging from the bushes. Her dismay quickly turns to outrage. "You used my scrolls?!?" Xena looks a little --: "Now take it easy -- there were no good leaves in the bush." Gabrielle is speechless. Xena: "I used a piece that didn't have much writing on it!" Thumping in the background. Xena with relief says, "The giant's coming," and dashes off.
- The fertility goddess shows up again.
- Now they run into Minya (Hower's girlfriend) who is also overwhelmed with hero-worship, and perhaps a bit more, for X. Minya doesn't quite remember Gabrielle's name but quickly starts pestering her with questions. "What's it like to travel with the hottest warrior in the butt-kickin' biz, huh? ... Does she sleep in the --?" G: "Well--" X: "Hey! Lady, we're on a mission."
- X & G are in the hot tub, still playing 20 questions. Sexy with the scrubbing, but then Xena squeakily cleans out G's ear.
