The Greater Good

Xena is possibly dying from a poison dart, and asks Gabrielle if she had a pony when she was young: "...he got very sick one day and, well, i thought he would get better, but it's just what happens with things that you love. Sometimes they just leave you." She and Xena share a look. Later, when Xena does die, Gabrielle stares at the corpse and the mood is very intimate. She leans over and kisses Xena on the cheek. At the end, Xena (back from the dead) is congratulating Gabrielle on a job well done, and Gabrielle responds, "Change the subject...I'm gonna get all soft on you." "Xena responds with a hint of sarcasm, "We wouldn't want that, would we?"
