End of Episode 91 (S5,E1):

Joxer and Amarice stare in awe at the two resurrected friends sitting before them. Eli is on the ground, with his head resting against his hands. Gabrielle is staring into Xena's eyes and says, "We're going to be together for eternity."

Xena smiles gently and replies, "Yeah." The bard rests her head on Xena's shoulder and sighs in relief.

The foursome remains in silent for several minutes, none sure what to do or what to say. Finally Amarice speaks up, "You two must be cold. Let me find something to cover you." She heads out into the rest of the building to find something to cover the women with. Going from room to room, she finally finds an old bed that has a blanket on it. "One down, now where to find the other."

Eli stands up off the floor and stretches. "Xena, let me take a look at you." He reaches out his hand and helps her stand up. "Can you walk?"

"Maybe." She replies as she leans heavily on him. He walks her to the front part of the stone table they are on and sits her down in the light. After examining her for several minutes he smiles.

"I think you'll be alright. Joxer, can you get them some water?" Eli orders as he walks over to Gabrielle and does the same routine.

Xena watches as Eli cares for Gabrielle. By the gods…I can't believe we made it back. I thought for sure it was the end for us. I think we are both in shock. I'm so tired.

"I found one blanket!" Amarice pounces in and tries to wrap it around Xena but the warrior nods her head to Gabrielle. The Amazon takes the hint and puts it over her Queen's shoulders, then looks back at Xena, "I'll try to find another for you."

Joxer walks up to Xena and hands her a small bowl with water in it and smiles at her. "How are you feeling?"

"Not great." She sips her water and looks over at Gabrielle as Joxer fills another small bowl of water and brings it over.

Beginning of Episode 92:

"I'm really glad you guys, um…" Joxer takes a breath and looks at Gabrielle with love, "I can't believe you're here." He hands Gabrielle the bowl of water.

The bard smiles tiredly, "Thank you, Joxer."

He nods, "I'll get you some food." As he walks away, Amarice returns with a blanket to cover Xena.
