Zeus learns that a child conceived of no man (i.e., Xena's baby) will bring the end of the gods; he vows to take out Xena's unborn child. Hercules drops by to bring a cute little three-headed stuffed monster and sticks around to help protect the baby. Xena & Gabrielle go to Tartarus to find Hades' helmet to invisibility, and Hercules looks for the dagger made from Chronos' rib — the only weapon that can kill Zeus (Hercules' father).
Best line:
- Zeus: You've always held a special place in my heart, Hercules. But it's a place that can as easily be filled by your loving memory.
