Leah, another Xena look-a-like who is also a Hestian virgin High Priestess, is in danger from Balius, who wants to wipe out all Hestian virgins. Enter Meg, Xena's look-a-like from the episode 'Warrior... Princess...Tramp,' whom Balius is using to take the priestess' place. Joxer is there, and comedy ensues as the three look-a-likes confuse everyone again. This is a Xena-lite episode.
I enjoyed how cleverly Gabs rescued Leah in the opening scene. She doesn't have great strength like Xena but uses trickery, in other words, talking, to rescue her. Remember, Xena had told her to do that way back in 'Dreamworker' in dangerous situations. What happened to Meg's job as the cook for King Lias I wonder? Perhaps she made enough $$ there to open her own tavern. King Lias must pay well.
This episode is filled with hilarious double entendres:
"Believe me. If I have to go the rest of my life without companionship, knowing myself won't be a problem."
"A fweebie?"
"I was happily tilling the soil when my eyes fell upon something magnificent. The summer squash"
"Look. Sometimes, it is best to take matters into your own hands."
Lol.
Leah has a speech impediment and therefore pronounces "R's" as "W's" making her sound a little like Elmer Fudd. Lol. She's also very sheltered and therefore not used to sexual things, such as being at Meg's raunchy tavern. One of the most hilarious scenes is when she opens the three doors and she gets an eyeful of the sexcapades going on at the tavern. Her expressions are hilarious. Leah was a one-off character, never recurring again, but her one episode is the funniest out of all the doppelganger episodes.
On the DVD it's revealed that when Xena, pretending to be Leah, is taking confession from one of the Hestian virgins, the virgin is actually saying all kinds of explicit stuff about the summer squash. Later the editors turned the sound of the fight scene up and the sound of the confession down so you can't really hear it, but you can get the gist of the gag here. Lol.
Joxer sings his first rendition of "Joxer the Mighty." It's later used in the episode "The Bitter Suite." Joxer is still fond of Meg but is in love with Gabrielle. It's funny now, at one time Gabrielle hated being referred to as a virgin, now she's annoyed that's she's referred to as not so virginal anymore. Lol.
I found this episode hilarious. Loved all the double meanings and expressions with Leah. Lucy Lawless must have had a lot of fun here playing these three characters. Once again great job by the actress as you really believe they are three separate characters. 10/10.
