Key Events
1. This is the first episode to handle the dramatic choice between fighting and non-violence with Gabrielle rather than Xena. This will continue to be a central theme in the development of Gabrielle's character in seasons to come. 2. This is the first episode to introduce the concept of blood innocence. This will play a pivotal role in a later story arc.
Trivia

This is possibly foreshadowing her acquiring her own staff by the Amazons later in the season. 3. The god Morpheus appeared to dreamers in human shapes. His name is from Morphe, Greek for "form" alluding to the dream god's ability to assume any form. 4. First appearance of the highly impractical "breast dagger". Xena will retain c...
