From early on, it was clear that Xena and Gabrielle's bond was the most important relationship in the two women's lives. For the duration of the show, the producers, writers, and stars consistently stated that the nature of this bond was for the viewers to decide. In a typical comment, executive producer Steven L. Sears told Entertainment Weekly magazine in 1997, "They have love for each other. It's up to the audience to determine what that love is."[66] Shortly before the airing of the finale, in June 2001, Lawless was asked in a newspaper interview if Xena and Gabrielle's relationship was a lesbian one, and replied, "More like sisterhood." [67] However, soon afterwards while promoting the finale on the Conan O'Brien show, she said that she felt Xena was "outed" in the final episode: "I didn't run this by anybody, but I don't think there's any doubt in my mind anymore."[68] In an interview with Lesbian News magazine two years after the series ended, Lawless elaborated on this statement, saying that she came to believe Xena and Gabrielle were lovers after the scene in the last episode when Gabrielle revived Xena with a mouth-to-mouth water transfer: "That cemented it for me. Now it wasn't just that Xena was bisexual and kinda liked her gal pal and they kind of fooled around sometimes, it was 'Nope, they're married, man."[69]

Before Buffy did it with "Once More With Feeling," Xena had a musical episode. Xena and Gabrielle find themselves in a strange land in "The Bitter Suite," a continuation of the story from "Maternal Instincts" and they break out in song and dance throughout the episode. The commentary track was very insightful for that episode. Bruce Campbell was in 3 episodes this season, a good one ("King of Assassins"), an all right one ("Tsunami") and a stinker ("Vanishing Act" - branded the worst episode by some cast and crew members). Also be on the lookout for Shiri Appleby (Roswell) in "Forgiven."

While technically Xena does not possess godly powers, she has a leaping ability demonstrated by other warriors of a high skill level, notably M'Lila,[12] Callisto and Draco. Xena performs gravity-defying leaps usually in an acrobatic style up to 30 feet. Xena leaps straight up from moat water to the top of a high castle wall[33] and somersaults from her position on the ground to the top of a tall tree where an archer is ambushing her group with arrows. Xena once ran up an opponent's torso, performed a backflip, and kicked him while still in mid-air. On rare occasions, she is actually able to run on the faces of a surrounding squad of soldiers. This ability could have possibly originated as an Amazon ability before catching on with other warriors, since Xena is asked about her leaping ability and she answers that the Amazons taught her,[34] which would make sense as the Amazons "invented the technique of fighting from trees". In martial arts terms, these abilities can be referred to as Karumijutsu, Tobi Waza and Qing Gong.

Xena still stuck in Callisto's body wakes Gabrielle who is once again shocked by her appearance. Joxer arrives with an invitation apparently from Ares addressed to Callisto, and they immediately smell a rat knowing that Xena is in Callisto's body and the real Ares knows that. The invitation leads them to a small port where they see a number of warlords gathering. Things take a turn for the strange when Gabrielle starts a fight over the price of fishcakes and Xena finds Ares, drunk, in a tavern. He tells Xena that he's been stripped of his godhood because someone has stolen his sword and he asks for her help in getting it back. At first she's unsure and doesn't believe his statement that he was a benevolent god of war, but when Gabrielle starts her second fight in the matter of a few minutes, Xena begins to believe him.
