Best Bit
The Best bit, for me, has to be the chariot chase at the end with Gabrielle learning that shes hates chariots. Another high light, for me, is the 'removing of the arrow' scene were Xena tells the reluctant Darius how to remove the arrow. Which involves him breaking off the arrow head and push the arrow shaft out through her back. Lucy does a great job pulling of this scene.
