List of Xena episodes

The gods have been lining up to take out Xena's baby Eve, and now Athena has laid siege to Amphipolis.

Athena and Ilainus lesbian subtext

More lesbian subtext in this episode, from Athena and her favorite, Ilainus.

A/I lesbian subtext scene 1

After Ilainus first attacks on the road to Amphipolis, and Xena defends, Ilainus has a small scratch on her cheek. When she reports back to Athena, Athena takes the report, and then notices the scratch.

Athena: "Don't tell me one of those toll collectors laid a weapon on you."
Ilainus: "Xena was there."

Athena heals the cut with her finger, and then caresses Ilainus' cheek; Ilainus smiles and looks at her lovingly (or worshipfully).

Ath: "You have my favor, Ilainus-- always. But take care-- it doesn't make you any less mortal."
A/I lesbian subtext scene 2

Shortly thereafter Ares drops by, offering advice.

Ilainus: "Athena doesn't need your help."
Ares: "Nor any man's, it would seem." (looking from Ilainus to Athena, who acknowledges his comment with a turn of her head)
A/I lesbian subtext scene 3

Later, Xena runs into Ilainus in the caves.

Xena: "I know who you are. You're Athena's new champion, Ilainus of Mycenae. You heal quickly."

Ilainus touched her cheek, as if caught with her hand in the divine cookie jar. Xena: "Or was that divine intervention?" (smiling meaningfully)
