Slapstick Knows No Gender is no longer a trope.


* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Xena suffers from head lice and is left scratching like crazy. Gabrielle gets foot rot and struggles for relief; her tongue also goes numb for a while, making her incomprehensible. Both suffer food poisoning, courtesy of Joxer's cooking. Joxer, by contrast, comes out of this largely unscathed.

* NauseaFuel: The episode has a heavy concentration of vomiting, oozing, fungus, drinking things that should really not be drunk and goat poo.



* WrongGenreSavvy: Xena frets that Argo is willingly with the Scythians out of anger for being left behind for so long. It turns out Argo just wanted apples, much to Xena's irritation.

* ChekhovsGag: Joxer's awful cooking ends up defeating the bad guys.
* EveryoneHasStandards: After the job is done, Joxer gets paid 500 dinars, but he just can't take money from poor villagers. He tells them to use it for developing and improving the village instead.
* GotMeDoingIt: Xena treating Argo as more than just a horse starts to rub off on Gabrielle.
-->'''Xena:''' You don't know how moody she can be. She doesn't open up to you.\\
'''Gabrielle:''' She doesn't like me, does she? What is it? Is it my personality? What? My hair color? ''[realizing]'' The fact that I talk about her like she's a real person?
* HeroicBSOD: Xena over Argo letting someone else (particularly the head of the Scythians) ride her.
* {{Irony}}: Xena reflects on Joxer defeating an army of ruthless warriors without shedding a single drop of blood.



* SelfDeprecation: The villagers denounce Joxer's song, calling the meter awful.
