Description, Notes, Spoilers
Cupid's infant mischievously shoots a variety of odd couples, including a young boy who turns his affections from a girl to another boy; a man who suddenly falls in love with a cow; a woman who falls in love with a neighbor she'd been irritated with. He also shoots Xena — who is suddenly smitten with bad boy Draco, just when she needs to stop him from kidnapping the local Hestian virgins and selling them into slavery.
Several great scenes with Xena and Draco in a "fighting as foreplay" mode: sparring, then arm-wrestling.
Later the infant strikes Gabrielle with lover for Joxer.
