A COMEDY OF EROS

Cupid's son, Bliss, gets a hold of Cupid's arrows and takes off. Meanwhile, Xena and Gabrielle are trying to stop Draco from attacking some Hestia virgins. Xena gets hit by an arrow and falls for the first one she sees -Draco. Gabby assumes it's all "part of her plan." Xena later tries to cool down and decides to try and change Draco into one of the good guys. Gabrielle grows suspicious of trouble. Xena foils one of Draco's plans, but Gabby and Joxer have gotten themselves tied to a pole. As Xena unties them, Gabrielle is struck. Who does she fall for first? (Almost Xena!) Joxer! Next, in what is teased as a sex scene, Draco and Xena talk while arm wrestling. The same thing is teased with Joxer and Gabby, but they're singing his theme song! Soon, Xena and Draco's game gets sexual...so Xena runs away to cool off in a cold lake! The temple is attacked! During all this, Cupid's arrow strikes Draco and he falls for Gabrielle. Before we know it, Joxer...and Gabby...are captured. "This love stuff is a real PAIN!" says Xena. Draco's gonna kill Joxer for having Gabby's affections. Xena saves them and they head back to the temple. Draco calls a truce to talk. He mentions his "woman" (Gabby) and Xena says, "Well, ain't love a bitch." He threatens to torch the temple. "You would kill the woman you love?" asks Xena. "Would you?" Xena seems to give in to his threat by releasing the virgins, but works it out to look like Draco was trying to double-cross his partner in crime. A fight! The virgins fall for Draco's warriors! CHAOS! Xena finally figures out that these feelings (which seem real but aren't) are from Cupid's arrows! She tells Draco that "if you want to win her love you'd better change yourself." Cupid himself catches on and grounds little Bliss. He puts everyone back to normal. "Easy come; easy go." And, funnily/tragically enough, Joxer's love won't go away. "Cupid, forget it," says Xena, "He's for real." "Oh. Happens." And, to keep Draco "good," the spell stays on him.
