The Reckoning
Xena finds a small group of peasants travelling with a cart being attacked by a hooded swordsman, and comes to their rescue. After a short fight the swordsman disappears and she finds herself surrounded by the friends and relations of the injured men. When they see blood all over Xena and her sword, they assume that she is responsible for the attack. Xena and Gabrielle make their escape up a side valley that turns out to be a dead end. Early the following morning Xena and Gabrielle try to get past them but are captured. Xena is thrown into a prison cell and once alone the hooded swordsman appears to her. He is Ares, the god of war, who wants her to return to her old warlike ways. His ways and to become his Queen. She refuses and prepares to face death at the hands of the peasants instead...
The Titans
A group of villagers pursuade Gabrielle to help them read a scroll that will reawaken a group of Titans (giants) locked inside a cave near their village. Gabrielle succeeds but fairly soon her influence over the Titans fades and they start to follow their own agenda. One that does not bode well for the villagers. Xena has to step in and try to regain control of the Titans and save the village.
Prometheus
A thug decides to try his luck at slaying Xena, and not unsurprisingly fails. However, when her attempts to heal his wounds fail, she starts a quest for an oracle since she believes that the god Prometheus has been captured and as a result his gifts to mankind are disappearing. These include the ability to heal and the knowledge of fire. The oracle instructs her on how to free Prometheus and she sets off to do so. Along the way she meets up with Hercules, and together they set off to free Prometheus. However, when Xena discovers that using the mystic sword to break Prometheus' chains will result in the holder dying, she and Hercules start fighting over who should fulfill this sacrifice. Each wishing to save the other, they attempt to outsmart each other at every turn...

When they visit a hospital, she becomes convinced that she must free Celesta so that these people's suffering can come to an end. Assisted by Gabrielle and a friend she's met on the road, who has knowledge of the King's Palace, Xena sets off to release Celesta.
