Adventures in the Sin Trade I
Distraught with grief over the loss of Gabrielle, Xena travels to Siberia and the Amazon Land of the Dead to find her friend.
Source:
Whoosh!

When last seen in May's cliffhanger, Gabrielle was sacrificing herself at the altar of Dahak to rid the world of her evil daughter Hope. As the fourth season opens, Xena (Lucy Lawless) begins a two-part search for her friend's spirit. Her first stop, the underworld, is a dry well. ("She didn't come to me," Hades shrugs.) Then it dawns on the Warrior Princess that Gabrielle had been initiated into the Amazons, who have their own land of the dead. So, guided by Gabrielle's faint voice in the wind, Xena rides off. Geographically, she's in Siberia; but spiritually, Xena is in an abyss where she confronts her dark past. What's more, she has to battle an evil shamaness (Claire Stansfield) along the way.

A Family Affair
Xena and Joxer travel to Poteidaia to find Gabrielle home visiting friends and family, but the reunion is interrupted when Xena discovers an evil in the area, a monster terrorizing the village - Hope! Hope tries to fool Xena, but it doesn't work. Meanwhile oblivious to the danger, Gabrielle's family don't exactly warm up to Xena - the warlord that took their "little girl" away. A very touching an emotional affair when the real Gabrielle and Xena reunite. There will be two deaths with common blood by the end of the episode. Yep, sounds like your typical family reunion!

Past Imperfect
This is an action-packed dense episode. Not only do we get to see the events leading up to the Battle of Corinth, the birth of Solan, the death of Borias, and yet another extremely peeved woman from Xena's past, but we also get to see the events leading up to the vision of Xena and Gabrielle's death that Xena foresaw in Adventures in the Sin Trade II. See how Xena avoided death in the past and avoids it in the present. See Xena muck up even more personal relationships. Xena, what a gal!
