The torture scene became a little too real for Lucy Lawless, who went back into spasms while being hung upside down.
There was a scene that was cut from the episode, where Gabrielle gets into a fight with one of Gurkhan's new wives. The wife says she is competition, then slaps Gabrielle. Gabrielle punches her around until the wife goes flying into Harem's pool.
Originally, Eve was supposed to follow Xena and Gabrielle outside after Gabrielle hears about her parents. Director Michael Hurst decided it made the scene too "clunky" and gave Eve's lines to Xena.
Xena doesn't use her Chakram in this episode.
Milda (Gina Varela) is fully nude when she is having a oil massage. Only her bareback and bottom are seen.
