You'd think that warlords and evil men would learn.......
Once again, Xena was at the right place at the right time. An innocent couple was about to get married when a warload kidnapped the girl. Luckily, Xena was there for the young man who pled for Xena to help him get her back. In the process of successfully re-capturing the girl she ran into and old flame, Marcus (This was back in the days when Xena wasn't hot for Gabrielle btw). In order to get the girl back, Xena had to betray Marcus who worked for the warlord. This brought an interesting twist to the story. In the end, Marcus actually sacrificed his life to save the girl and do the right thing. It appeared that he still loved Xena. So, the victory for Xena was bittersweet.
It's really hard to start the day with a heart-wrenching episode like this.
