   {{Since I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow (Sep 6) I decided to do this one   
   a few days early   
   (plus I didn't want to have to wait a full week to watch it.) }}   
      
      
      
   6-13    You Are there   
      
      
      
   First airing was Feb 5, 2001.   
   The story starts out with Xena and Gabrielle on horses, riding hard, then on a   
   (?) Roman ship, then   
   a Norse ship. When they land, a raven flies back to Valhalla and we hear Odin   
   yell out, "What?   
   Here?"   
      
   Beowulf is in a Norse tavern drinking at the bar. Gabrielle goes up to him and   
   says hello. He says   
   to Xena that she's a long way from home. Xena can't understand why Beowulf is   
   so indifferent to   
   Gabrielle. He says it was love-struck foolishness. Xena says she needs to see   
   Odin. Behind her,   
   three Valkyries say they have orders to keep her away from Odin. Xena draws   
   her sword and attacks   
   with Gabrielle behind her.   
      
   Outside a man in modern dress with a microphone is talking to a camera. He is   
   there to get an   
   interview with Xena. After the three Valkyries are thrown out into the snow he   
   runs up to Xena and   
   asks why she has returned to the Norselands. And will she comment on the fact   
   that Odin has sworn   
   to kill her? Xena looks into the camera with a sour look on her face.   
      
   Nigel, the photo journalist, is talking to the camera saying some see Xena as   
   a savior. Others see   
   her as a butcher of thousands of innocent people. And tonight he will put that   
   question to her.   
      
   X&G are in a studio getting ready to be interviewed - makeup and microphones.   
   Nigel welcomes Xena   
   and calls Gabrielle the Battling Bard of Poteidaia, making her smile with the   
   pride of recognition.   
   He tells Xena that as a Valkyrie she used Odin's runes to cause a reign of   
   terror. And he wants to   
   know why she's come back now, since there's no love lost between her and Odin.   
   She answers that's   
   why she and Gabrielle have come back. He interrupts saying she betrayed Odin   
   and turned Grinhilda   
   into a monster. There is a "file photo" of Grindl. Gabrielle reminds him Xena   
   turned her back   
   again.   
      
   Next he asks if her intention is to kill Odin and have herself proclaimed a   
   god in his place. When   
   she denies it, he mentions she stole the Rheingold and forged it into a ring   
   to give her a god's   
   powers. She says she gave it back. When he asks about her killing the   
   Olympians, Gabrielle tells   
   him they were trying to kill her daughter. The daughter, he says, followed in   
   Xena's bloody   
   footsteps. When he asks if she still has the power to kill gods, she gets   
   angry and says he  can   
   kill much lower forms of life. Gabrielle says the interview is over and they   
   leave.   
      
   Next Nigel is at the River Styx interviewing Charon. He says Xena hasn't sent   
   him that many, but   
   some of the bigger names - Marc Antony, Velasca and Callisto.  Caligula is   
   impatiently waiting and   
   Nigel asks him a few questions. He says she is evil and not to let anyone tell   
   him otherwise. He   
   says he was a living god and that bitch took him out.   
      
   Next Nigel is back in the studio and is interviewing someone anonymously by   
   being invisible. He   
   tells Nigel that Xena is after the golden apples protected by Frigga because   
   she wants to be a god.   
   Nigel knows that only Odin can become invisible. Odin appears and yells at the   
   monitor that Xena   
   will never become a god, and uses a fireball to destroy it.   
      
   Nigel finds Gabrielle next to a stream washing up. He wants to know if there   
   is a sexual   
   relationship between Xena and Ares. She gets angry and pushes him face first   
   into the mud.   
      
   Nigel is at Ares' farm and knocks on the door. Ares yells for him to go away.   
   But he keeps   
   knocking. Ares opens the door and Nigel asks if he is the former god of war.   
   He asks why Xena wants   
   to steal the golden apples. Ares doesn't answer. Nigel says Odin believes it's   
   because she wants to   
   restore Ares to Olympus and she will be  his queen. Ares says she's had plenty   
   of opportunities,   
   but she isn't interested.   
      
   Suddenly they hear Xena's voice and Nigel pushes his way into the farm house.   
   Xena comes out from a   
   back room and he accuses them of plotting together. Xena tells him to stay out   
   of her business.   
   Ares violently throws Nigel and the cameraman out.   
      
   Next Nigel is in heaven interviewing Archangel Michael. He says Xena always   
   puts her self-interest   
   ahead of the greater good. Then he tells Nigel about her casting Archangel   
   Lucifer into hell  to   
   take her place after she killed Mephistopheles.   
      
   Nigel falls through a cloud and lands in Hell. He interviews Lucifer, who is   
   still angry at Xena   
   and says she can't be trusted and wishes he could get her down there.   
      
   Next Nigel finds Eve and other Elijans praying. But when he starts asking her   
   about Xena and Ares,   
   and if she was jealous that Ares was still obsessed with Xena awhile sleeping   
   with Eve. She starts   
   cussing him out and punches him in the nose.   
      
   Back in the studio, Nigel is interviewing Gabrielle. She tells him he is wrong   
   about Xena. She and   
   Ares aren't conspiring to rule the world. She wants to save it, so she needs   
   the golden apples. He   
   suggests Xena has a lust for Ares. Then the monitor shows clips of Xena and   
   Ares kissing. Gabrielle   
   admits they have a history. He wonders if her feelings for Xena has confused   
   her. Then he asks her   
   directly if she's in love with Xena. And with a confused look on her face, she   
   says she doesn't   
   love Xena.   
      
   Xena breaks into he studio and puts the Pinch on Nigel and asks him if he   
   loves anybody at all.   
   Then looking into the monitor she yells to Odin that she's coming for him.   
      
   Xena and Gabrielle are walking outside the studio and Gabrielle asks what   
   Xena's plan is. Xena is   
   angry because by this time she ought to be able to figure it out. Gabrielle   
   complains about being   
   just the side kick. They argue some more then Xena stops them. Gabrielle tells   
   her people who love   
   each other wouldn't says the things they've been saying. Xena says they have   
   to get love back into   
   the world. And Gabrielle, with a smart-aleck grin, asks again what the plan is.   
      
   In a bordello, Nigel is trying to interview the Madam who is making sure the   
   customers all have   
   numbers. She tells him she always has business since it's not about love. She   
   calls out number 27   
   for a "Thor's Hammer" and Ares appears. He then runs away with Nigel chasing   
   him.   
      
   Nigel is now in a cave talking to a mysterious woman with a long hooded robe,   
   her face hidden. She   
   tells him Xena is trying to put a god back on Olympus but not the one he   
   thinks. She doesn't want   
   to rule the world, she wants to save it. She tells him to follow the love.
