The week-long national syndication window opens for the 56th episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. Kevin Smith and Alexandra Tydings guest star. 
Aphrodite is furious when punks paint graffatti in and around her temple about Xena. Ares tells her that the problem isn’t Xena, but with her bard companion, Gabrielle. The goddess agrees with him and decides to do something about it. Aphrodite pays a visit to the warrior and bard’s camp, and places a spell on Gabrielle’s scroll. The next morning, Gabrielle discovers that things she has written on the scroll are coming true. The bard decides to use the opportunity to do good deeds. But soon things aren’t going quite the way she planned.
