Altared States:

" And i thought our gods were harsh!" Xena disdainfully tells the patriarch Anteus, who  believes that the one true god has commanded that he sacrifice his beloved son Icus. But when Gabrielle goes into a hallucinogenic trance after eating bread prepared for Anteus by his eldest son Maell, Xena realizes that the command to kill Icus has come from his own brother. She defeats Maell but not before he shouts a "divine" command through a megaphone that Anteus kill Icus to prove his faith in God. Gabrielle lunges for the megaphone to issue a new command that Anteus spare his son's life, and Anteus obeys. Xena compliments Gabrielle on her quick thinking in imitating "the voice of God", only to hear Gabrielle deny ever getting hold of the megaphone.           Take a look at the episode Images...
