- Xena and Hercules join forces to free Prometheus, however his reprieve comes with a price.
- Xena fights off a quartet of thugs wounding two of them. As she tries to nurse them back to health, they suddenly die, even though one was only slightly hurt. This is a sign that Hera has chained Prometheus and the healing powers he brought to humans is no longer working. This is underscored when several more ill people suddenly die. To return the ability to heal, Xena needs to win the sword of Hephaestus and use it to break his chains. Alone, she heads to the temple to learn how to obtain the sword. It involves navigating a maze with a series of booby traps while evading armed guards. She succeeds and pulls the sword from a stone. When she rejoins Gabrielle, Hercules and Iolaus have attached themselves to the party. Hercules and Xena argue over who gets to cut Prometheus loose. It's not vanity that causes the scuffle but trying to protect the other. As the sword cuts the chains, both it and its holder will be converted to ash. En route to where Prometheus is bound, the quartet encounter a party of guards. In the skirmish, Iolaus is injured. He starts to deteriorate, hopeful that Prometheus will be freed before he perishes. Xena knocks Hercules out so that she can climb the grapple line and free Prometheus. At the top however, she finds a nest with 7 large eggs filled with warriors who prevent her from approaching Prometheus. Hercules awakes and climbs up to the nest without a rope. As the two fight, a flying dragon snatches Xena from the nest. In the air, Xena manages to work her way to its back. She stabs it to death with her sword. As she is falling, she tosses the sword to Hercules who deflects it with a rock to cut one of the chains. No one was holding the sword. Immediately after that, Hercules lines himself up with the plummeting Xena and catches her. Mission accomplished. Xena and Hercules exchange a kiss as do Iolaus and Gabrielle.—Garon Smith
- Prometheus is chained by Hera and humanity loses all the gifts that received from the titan, including the fire and the ability to heal. Xena and Gabrielle join forces with Hercules and Iolaus to free Prometheus, but Xena and Hercules know it is a suicide mission: the one who uses the only sword that can break Prometheus' chains will instantly die.—Anonymous
