Xena talks to Gabrielle's descendent about Gabrielle: "You make her sound important." "She is to me." responds Xena. At the end, (thanks Judy!) Mel says to Janice: "Well, maybe it's time that we both stepped out to the world and showed them what we can do!" "Together?" asks Jan. "Well, not if you don't want...to." What would i do with my free time if there weren't these significant pauses?
From Ignacio: "Xena Scrolls: When Mel and Jacques/Joxer/whatever first meet, he kisses her hand, but immediately Janice interrupts. A bit later, Mel defends Janice repeating her excuses about her father etc, even if they don't know each other (they just first met a few minutes ago). But they seem very close, attending to Mel's deception when Janice accepts Smythe's money offer. And when the chakram gets mended with an explosion and Mel falls to ground, Janice shouts her name and goes to help her. But the best Janice-Mel attraction point I found appears when the door is closing and Xena's spirit abandons Mel's body and they all need to escape before door closes. Janice's character is obviously based on Indiana Jones, and we all know how much his hat means to him. The same happens with Janice (there are examples of that through the episode, if you didn't remember about), so it's pretty significant that Janice first saves Mel, and only then gets her hat."
