Quotes 

• Xena : Gabrielle?

  Mephistopheles : [Gabrielle is being possessed by Mephistopheles]  She's with me, Xena!

  Xena : Mephistopheles, why are you doing this to my family?

  Mephistopheles : [possessed in Gabrielle's body]  I seek the Messenger of Eli... your daughter!

  Xena : What do you want with her?

  Eve : [Eve runs into the room]  He knows I can do this...

  [pause] 

  Eve : In the name of Eli and all the powers of Heaven, I command this evil presence to be cast out!

  [she touches Gabrielle's body, but nothing happens] 

  Xena : [to Mephistopheles]  Why have you come here?

  Mephistopheles : [possessed through Gabrielle]  You killed the Olympian gods, Xena. The time has come for my reign to begin! I shall inherit the Earth! When your blood is spilled, Eve, I'll be made flesh!

  Xena : It will never happen Mephistopheles! Never!

  Mephistopheles : [possessed through Gabrielle]  Your mother cried out for you, Xena... even at the end.

  Mephistopheles : [Mephistopheles shows Xena a vision of what happened to her mother when she was burned at the stake and cried out her name as she was dying]  I helped eat her soul, Xena! She'll spend eternity reliving only agony you put into her life! Unless you spill your daughter's blood and bring me into the world.

  Eve : No!

  [Eve repeats her chant] 

  Mephistopheles : Damn you! I leave this body, Xena, but I'll keep your mother's soul! Do you want your mommy? Release me into the world!

  Xena : Again, Eve. Do it again, now!

  [Eve repeats her chant and Mephistopheles is cast out of Gabrielle's body] 

• [repeated line] 

  Eve : In the name of Eli and all the powers of Heaven, I command this evil presence to be cast out!

• Gabrielle : Xena... Xena! Wait! You cannot spill your daughter's blood.

  Xena : It's better than the beating she was taking in there.

  Gabrielle : You will bring hell onto Earth! After all the evil we've seen, you want to unleash that onto the world?

  Xena : My mother's soul is trapped, my daughter is half dead, and the portal to hell opened up in my backyard! I am going to face Mephistopheles, Gabrielle--it is the only way!

  Gabrielle : You cannot kill every demon from hell!

  Xena : I only need to kill one, and he will never expect me to...

  Gabrielle : [Gabrielle has a look of concern and realization]  To what? To what?

  Xena : To take his place. Mephistopheles said whoever kills the king of hell must take his place.

  Gabrielle : [Whispers]  Xena...

  Xena : I will cross that bridge when I come to it, but I am *not* going to let Mephistopheles torment my family any longer! Do ya hear me?

  Gabrielle : Eve... Eve, your destiny is to stop this evil, not bring it into the world.

  Xena : We make our own destiny in this family. Eve, the choice is yours.

  Eve : Yes.

  Eve : Destiny comes to pass in strange ways. I'll fulfill mine--I'll deliver Mephistopheles into the only hands capable of beating him.

  [to Gabrielle] 

  Eve : Will you help me?

• [Xena and Gabrielle hug] 

  Xena : Glad to have you back. Gabrielle, Mephistopheles has my mother. I've got to find a way to release her soul, but cleansed or not, I want you out of here.

  Gabrielle : Where do you want me to go?

  Xena : Mephistopheles is using you!

  Gabrielle : I'm not leaving!

  Eve : He can't take her; she's been cleansed.

  Gabrielle : He's afraid of you.
