Notes & spoilers
Ares & Discord (a big-haired goddess) are fretting over how to destroy the one-god's temple. Again with the monotheism. Xena & Gabrielle are having a fun conversation on the road, when they run into some of Caesar's men taking some captives back to Caesar; it turns out the kilted Khrafstar, first priest of the temple of the one god, was recruiting for Boadicea (pron. Boh-deh-see-eh here), who is fighting Caesar in Britannia. Xena is happy to sign up and off they all go to Britannia.
Xena walks in on G helping Khrafstar by teaching him the acupressure anti-seasickness trick. She lamely explains that to Xena, and he leaves.
Xena tells Gabrielle her history with Boadicea: Boadicea and I were allies in a sense; she thought I was a friend, but I just needed an army; I used her, took her army, and ordered her killed.
Xena & her people sneak around Caesar's troops and rendezvous with Boadicea and her people, engaging Caesar's troops right away. Boadicea is cool & professional, telling Xena that "You need to polish your sword." Boadicea's warriors are mixed-gender, and Xena & Boadicea's forces triumph. But Gabrielle and Khrafstar are captured by Caesar's forces. (Weirdly, it looks like Caesar's forces have looted some 18th century paintings. That's even more Xena-esque historical fantasy than usual.)
