Hooves and Harlots

S1 E10: To avert a war between the Amazons and the Centaurs, Xena must discover who murdered the Amazon princess Terreis. When Xena and Gabrielle enter Amazon territory, they are quickly surrounded by four young Amazon warriors who are impressed that Xena knows their symbol of peace. But before they guarantee the trespassers safe passage through their hunting grounds, Terreis, the sister of the Amazon Queen Melosa, and her comrade Ephiny decide to take them to the Queen. On the way, Gabrielle and Terreis strike up a friendship and when the Amazons are ambushed and Terreis is mortally wounded, Gabrielle risks her own life to shield her new friend from further assault. Before Terreis dies, she gives Gabrielle her Right of Cast, which clearly angers Ephiny. What Gabrielle doesn’t realize is that her acceptance of this Right of Cast has made her an Amazon princess, responsible for avenging Terreis’ death.
