What Season 2 of Xena: Warrior Princess

Xena continues to roam ancient Greece with a bad reputation earned through crimes against innocent people. Her goal is to redeem herself with sword and bow, protecting those who cannot defend themselves alone. She is joined by Gabrielle, a naive farm girl traveling for the first time, whose nature balances the warrior's temper. Together they make their way through walled villages and roads besieged by warlords and outlaw gangs. Every encounter tests Xena's past. Among the conflicts, the return of Callisto stands out, as she escapes from prison and goes head-to-head with Xena once again.
