Season 5 Episode 07 - Back in the Bottle

Xena is trying to keep the power she obtained in Chin, but is having problems. She captures a rabbit and wants to cook it using the power but instead she turns it into stone by accident. Then she gets a vision of the future, it is of Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer fighting in a huge battle in Chin. Xena decides to go back to Chin because there must be a reason why she got this vision. Sure enough Chin is in danger, Pao Ssu who she killed in the last episode is back. This time she is not on her own and is being helped by her brother Ming Tien (Xena killed him a few years back when she was in Chin). Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer meet up with K'ao Hsin and prepare for battle but things aren't that simple because K'ao Hsin can't use her power, if she does it will make all her siblings stronger too. So Xena, Gabrielle, Joxer and a new found friend called Khan decide that they have to fight with out her. Xena keeps practicing her power and in the end gets it back. They all go and start to fight while Xena tries to use her power to defeat them the others use black powder and weapons to destroy Ming Tien's and Pao Ssu's army. Finally Xena gets a plan and everyone who is wearing the mark of the green dragon (Ming Tien's symbol) are turned into stone using Xena's power. As the armies' armor has the mark the are all turned into stone and the war is won. Xena then kills Ming Tien and Pao Ssu for the second time and K'ao Hsin regains her rule over Chin.
