Xena and Gabrielle are found by a young woman who pleads on behalf of a Lord to save their village from a pending attack from a vicious warlord. When they reach the village they discover that the Lord of the village is none other than Salmoneus. A battle with the warlord’s minions ensues and all is going well until a mysterious figure in the woods fires a poisoned dart which hits Xena in the neck.

With Xena unable to move, Gabrielle has to impersonate Xena in order to keep the warlords forces from attacking again. Unfortunately things don't go well and on her return to the village Gabrielle is told that Xena is dead.
