The riftiness of the rift continues! As Xena’s journey continues in both the present and the past, along with other characters, there’s a lot to mull over concerning good and evil, right and wrong. Ideologically, Xena and Gabrielle remain at two different sides of the spectrum; as FemPop puts it, Gabs is “one of those irritating [pacifists] you avoid at the coffee shop” and Xena is “a Tea Bagger carrying a gun to a political rally.” :P

There’s other points of interest in this episode, too, from some amazing set design to a wide array of acting, from the questionable to the subtlety sublime. Joining Lucy and Renee in this category, once again, is Jaqueline Kim. Fandom opinion may be split on a lot of elements of “The Debt,” but Lao Ma being one of the tip top highlights of the entire show isn’t one of them. Such a fantastic character, and gives you a lot to think about.
