[Season One] [Season Two] [Season Three ] [Season Four] [Season Five] [Season Six]

Director: Mark Beesley
Writer: Chris Manheim

Guest Stars:
Danielle Cormack (Ephiny)
Hudson Leick (Callisto)
David Taylor (Solan)
Amy Morrison (Hope)
Jeff Boyd (Kaleipus)

Another "rift" episode, and probably the most dramatic, Maternal Instincts continues the story about Gabrielle`s child started in The Deliverer and Gabrielle`s Hope. Callisto returns once again, once more causes havoc. This episode also features the Amazons and Gabrielle`s child, Hope grown up a bit - but has she grown into the monster Xena feared, or is she an innocent? Quite dramatically upsetting events occur in this daring episode featuring a bevy of mothers and their offspring. Brilliantly written and acted - as always.

Notes:
Jeff Boyd took over from Paul Gittins as the centaur Kaleipus, however, Gittins was back in the role in season 4.

Disclaimer : -
Xena and Gabrielle`s relationship was harmed during the production of this motion picture
