Xena and Gabrielle return for follow-up counseling with Dr. Love to explore issues of trust and intimacy.

In Part 1, Xena experiences a fit of jealousy over discovering a secret scroll of Gabrielle's called "I Sing of David," evidence of yet one more person of the male persuasion that Gabrielle has allowed into her heart, and this leads her to read Gabrielle's private diary; caught in the act.

In part 2, Xena gets dragged back to Lesbos as Gabrielle insists they pay another visit to Sappho to discuss Xena's jealousy and ongoing distance issues, but due to an expectedly early arrival of the muses for the annual Muse Council, Dr. Love is forced to cut the session short, but invites the troubled pair to spend the night at her villa.

In part 3, we enter the luxury of the bedchamber and the scented bath that Sappho has appointed to her guests, and we learn what really happened to Gabrielle in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," what really caused her to turn into a Bacchae.

In part 4, after a delicious love fest in the bath, good food, and good wine, Gabrielle talks about the loss of Perdicus and says that all she has ever really wanted from Xena was to be filled with her love, and with a little help from Midas and Aphrodite, they both get their golden wish.

Stay tuned for Part 5.
