Trivia
Scenes depicting the ancient Amazons were originally part of a pilot for a planned series called Amazon High (1997) (set in the Xenaverse) which never aired.

Goofs
Cyane is initiated to the tribe by being cut twice on her right arm, butchering the sleeve of her shirt. The next scene, when she's about to race Samsara, her sleeve is back to being uncut and without any blood stains. Later on, when they're being attacked, her right sleeve has an even hole, the blood is only around the borders of the hole, and her wounds are practically already healed.

Quotes
Xena: I used to think that I had to go through life alone--that anything else was a sign of weakness, so I traded my home and family for violence, blood--so much blood. I never want Eve to know that life. Maybe if she becomes an Amazon, she'll always feel a part of something.
Gabrielle: She will.
Xena: But your right of caste--that's a pretty precious gift.
Gabrielle: Xena, we're all family--I love her like my own daughter.
Xena: [Xena smiles] Well if that's how you feel...
