Xena & Gabrielle continue their journey into India. (Second of four episodes in Xenaverse-India.) While watching a magic show something goes wrong, and a girl named Maya is possessed. When Gabrielle goes to help her, the demon suddenly flies away, and Gabrielle is proclaimed a "devi" — a healing deity.
Notes & spoilers
Xena saves the magician (Eli) from the crowd that thinks he's evil, but he's convinced that Xena knows how Gabrielle got the devi power, and tries to hypnotize her to find out the secret. Meanwhile, Gabrielle is denying to the crowd that she is a Devi, but when a member of the crowd touches her, his blindness is cured. The priest looking on is also suspicious.
Another massage scene with Xena and Gabrielle!
In the morning, the priest has been murdered. And Gabrielle is starting to enjoy the adulation of the locals a little too much. Time and again, Gabrielle's quest for perfect goodness and spirituality betrays her. This time, she is possessed by a demon Tataka, who duped people through good deeds and healings into going to war. It turns out that Eli (yet another Jewish guy?) is the true devi, with power from "abba".
