Succession

S5, E3: Ares (Kevin Smith) merges Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) into the same body and forces them to fight Mavican (Jenya Lano), Ares’ potential right hand. After a rollicking roll in the sack, Mavican (Jenya Lano) tells Ares (Kevin Smith) that she wants to be his right-hand woman, just as Xena (Lucy Lawless) once was. Ares dismisses the idea and disappears. Meanwhile at Demeter’s Temple, Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) complains to herself that Xena is still overprotective of her. Suddenly, Mavican appears and throws a javelin towards Gabrielle’s head. Xena arrives just in time to deflect the javelin and takes over the fight, which greatly upsets Gabrielle.
