Xena learns she's expecting a baby in an
hour that is part soap opera, part horse opera. The playful episode kicks off when Xena,
Gabrielle, Joxer and Amarice take a wounded horse to a town for treatment. There, Xena
(played by Lucy Lawless, who herself was expecting at press time) meets an old friend
(Alison Bruce), the town's sheriff, who learns that her vicious husband and his gang are
coming at sundown for an unfriendly homecoming.
Meanwhile, Amarice falls for a handsome man and takes to heart Xena's advice to kiss him
or kill him. And a fatigued Xena takes her own concerns to a healer, who delivers the
unexpected news. (1:00)
