Season 3 Episode 10 - The Quill Is Mightier

Ares manipulates Aphrodite and she puts a spell on one of Gabrielle's scrolls so that what ever she writes comes true. First Gabrielle wakes with a jerk (Joxer) and then fights barbarians, while Xena is fishing. Then things start to go wrong when her wording isn't perfect, Ares and Aphrodite lose their power and Minya turns up with Xena's whip. Gabrielle knows that if she gets the scroll to Xena then she will be able to fix it, but she can't Xena anywhere so instead Gabrielle makes sure the scroll gets to her. When Xena realises what has happened she tells Gabrielle just to write the truth and everything will go back to normal. With the help of Ares she does and both the Gods get their power back and all the other mistakes fix themselves.
