THE BLACK WOLF

Someone called "the black wolf" dares to secretly but effectively stand against the corruption of the government. Gabrielle is not with Xena. Lucy Lawless has a cold. And Argo needs new shoes. Xena steps in the middle of things in town. She runs into an old friend-woman with a daughter named Flora. Xena's new mission? Get Flora back from out of Xerxes' dungeon. Xena pretends to be on the side of Xerxes...for money. She gets into the dungeon. Gabrielle arrives on scene only to learn of Xena's location. Flora isn't leaving the dungeon without the rest of the "wolf pack." Gabrielle meets Salmoneus and accidentally gets him sent to prison instead of herself. Xena is captured upon escape after helping the wolves and is taken to Xerxes. She convinces him to send her back in. She's also learned that Xerxes has a man on the inside. Later, Gabrielle finally gets sent down and delivers the chakram via her hat. Flora is taken away as the black wolf for execution. Xena fights last-minute and saves the day.
