Mortal Beloved:
Xena goes to the underworld to help the soul of her slain lover Marcus. She finds all in turmoil: a maniac named Atyminius has stolen Hades' Helmet of Invisibility and usurped his power, making good souls suffer in Tartarus while letting the wicked loose in the Elysian Fields.Xena and Marcus, whom Hades grants a forty-eight-hour reprieve, track Atyminius back to the land of the living and stop him from renewing his murderous assault on young women. Marcus agrees to return Hades' helmet though it will mean his own return to Tartarus, where he had been confined because "you can't make up for a liketime of evil with a single good deed at the end". But Xena moves Hades to overturn that judgment by pleading for her friend:"He learned to carry the Elysian Fields inside of him. Let him bring that love to paradise, where it belongs!"
