The Rheingold

''This article is about the episode. You may be looking for the artifact of the same name.''

Xena's past comes back to haunt her, when a man from the Norselands, Beowulf, brings her an item that Xena had hoped would be returned to her. She goes on a mission, which she implies as to being a suicide mission, leaving Gabrielle behind. But despite Xena's wishes, she follows her.
