Xena: Warrior Princess/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The ending of "The Bitter Suite," which features Xena reunited with her son.

Solan: I love you, Mother.
Xena: I love you, Solan. I'll always love you.

  • In "The Key To The Kingdom," Meg talks to a baby about how her childhood and life overall didn't work out so well. However, she promises the baby that she will ensure he has a better life no matter what.

"You see those? They're stars. When I was a little girl, I-I used to think that all those little lights came from houses in the sky and each one of those houses had a happy family around a cozy fire. And the lights came from all the open windows. And I used to think that at every window, there was a little girl, just like me lookin' out at the other lights. And I wondered what it would be like to be one of them. Well, one day we're gonna be one of those little lights. That's a promise."

  • This exchange from the very first episode, "Sins of the Past", when Xena finally accepts Gabrielle as a travelling companion and a friend:

Xena: You know where I'm headed there'll be trouble.
Gabrielle: I know.
Xena: Then why would you want to go into that with me?
Gabrielle: That's what friends do. They stand by each other when there's trouble.
Xena: Alright... friend.

  • Xena returns from the Underworld at the end of "Mortal Beloved", having finally convinced Hades to send Marcus to the Elysian Fields, and slowly comes to terms with losing him:

Gabrielle: You'll be together again one day.
Xena: (fighting back tears) We'll never be apart. (holds her fist to her heart) He's in here, forever.
