CHARIOTS OF WAR

Xena splits with Gabrielle to search for a possible route. On her way, she spots an attack and helps the people, saving a man's son. She gets shot with an arrow, catching the other two with her bare hands. (2 outta 3 ain't bad!) She instructs the man on how to heal her. Meanwhile, we learn of another father and son who strive to please Ares. And Gabrielle wonders why her new friend isn't back yet. Xena makes friends with the family who is housing her. The man has 3 kids. The littlest is a girl who hasn't spoken since their mother died. The man starts to fall for Xena and the feeling is somewhat mutual. However, unwelcome begins to surround the home due to Xena's presence. Back at the tavern, Gabrielle meets that Ares' man's son while trying to ward off the wooing of another. Back in the village, Xena and "man" go "downtown" for a meeting about a "peace treaty." (It's an ambush). Xena fights! The man Gabrielle met is in charge but really isn't into the whole ambush thing. (That is until told that Xena killed his brother. <-- Lies!) Xena and Gabs meet up. A chariot chase! A ground fight! Xena wins! The dude's father is killed and a new peace treaty is made -no tricks. And the little girl speaks!
