Xena was forced to give up her daughter at birth to protect her from the gods who wanted to kill her. Now, Xena is ready to reclaim her daughter and start a new life with her family.

When Xena and Gabrielle arrive at the Amazon village, they are greeted by the Amazon Queen, Varia, who is skeptical about Xena's intentions. However, Xena is determined to prove that she can be a good mother and asks for a chance to spend time with her daughter.
