Xena: Warrior Princess season 4 episode 14, named "Devi," follows Xena and Gabrielle as they travel to India in search of peace. However, they quickly discover that an evil force is taking over the land, led by the powerful priestess, Devi.
Xena and Gabrielle meet a young man named Kavi, who tells them about the oppression and violence that has taken over his village. He believes that Devi is the root of all evil, and convinces Xena and Gabrielle to help him take her down.
As they journey to Devi's temple, Xena and Gabrielle encounter a group of warriors who are also trying to overthrow the priestess. Xena recognizes the leader of the group, Mavican, as the same woman who betrayed her in the past. Despite their past differences, Xena agrees to work with Mavican to defeat Devi.
Upon arriving at the temple, Xena and Gabrielle meet Devi, who appears to be a harmless and kindly woman. However, Xena senses that there is something more sinister lurking within her. Devi reveals that she possesses special powers that she has used to protect her people, but insists that she does not want to harm anyone.
As the group begins to plan their attack on Devi's fortress, Xena realizes that she cannot trust Mavican. She fears that Mavican is only working with them to exact revenge on Xena for her past betrayal. Xena decides to take matters into her own hands and goes undercover to gain access to Devi's inner circle.
Xena's plan backfires when Devi discovers her true identity. Devi uses her powers to put Xena under her control and forces her to do her bidding. Gabrielle and the other warriors are left to fight alone, as Xena becomes a pawn in Devi's plan to take over the land.
The episode is action-packed and full of twists and turns as Xena, Gabrielle, and their allies fight to stop Devi. Along the way, they discover that there is more to Devi's story than they initially thought. The episode also explores themes of redemption and forgiveness, as Xena is forced to confront her past mistakes and make amends.
