- Xena and Gabrielle pass through Amazon country and run into a group of Amazons. On their way to see the Amazon Queen one of them, Terreis, develops friendly feelings for Gabrielle and vice versa as they talk about their respective cultures, and they seem to share the same sense of humour. However, they are soon attacked by arrows. After an unsuccessful attempt to save Terreis, who is in fact an Amazon Princess, Gabrielle is given the Right of Caste, which makes her an Amazon Princess. This would be fine and dandy except for Krykus, a warlord, who has pitted the Amazons and Centaurs against each other so he can arm both sides and make them destroy each other. The Amazons accuse the Centaur leader's son Phantes of the murder and Gabrielle is duty bound to execute him. Apart from that, she's not having a bad time, since the Amazons teach her how to use a fighting stick (and also how to do the tribal dance). In the meantime, Xena gathers the evidence showing the warlord's treachery and is joined by Ephany, one of the Amazons that witnessed the killing. Having found a Centaur arrow at Krykus's camp and getting back to the Amazon village, Xena manages to stop the execution last minute and learns about Gabrielle's new position. But Melosa, the Queen of the Amazons' heart is too filled with hate, and she demands the execution. Through meaningful eye contact (and with Ephany's help), Xena gets Gabrielle to challenge the Queen and to use Xena as her champion. Xena beats the pants off of the Queen. For some reason, they make Xena the Queen, not Gabrielle (I guess they understand Xena could beat the pants off of Gabrielle, too). The Centaurs arrive ready to fight, but Xena as the new Queen refuses a fight and returns Phantes to them. Then she talks everyone into hating the warlord and a man called Celano, who has been living with the Centaurs as their ally but turns out to be the murderer of Terreis, in Krykus' name. They all weapon up, beat up Krykus' men, Xena kills Celano as he attempts to stab her from behind and Melosa defeats Krykus, announcing that he will be put to trial for his crime. Gabrielle proves to be pretty handy with her new fighting stick already. Amazons and Centaurs both finally put their feud to rest. Before leaving the Amazon village, Ephiny gives Gabrielle her mother's staff, which Gabrielle will carry with her on her journeys with Xena. During sunset, Gabrielle gets carried away with her new status as Amazon Princess, as the two heroines continue on their adventures.
