Notes
...
Xena sends Brunnhilde off on an errand, then as soon as she's gone to Gabrielle, says, "I don't like her." ... We then see Brunnhilde running into Odin and the Valkyrie:
- O: So, what went wrong, Brunnilde? The plan was, once Xena had the ring, you were to attack her in her weakened state, and take it.
- B: Yes, but there were complications.
- O: Complications. My ravens, they tell me you've fallen in love with her partner. Is it possible you thought that killing Xena would kill any chance you had with Gabrielle?
- B: (muttering) Those mangy stool-pigeons.
