This is the first episode to use the motif of Xena's identical doubles, which will be repeated often. The episode itself uses the obvious inspiration of the fairy tale about the prince and the beggar. In this case, princesses and warriors (an interesting reference to the subtitle of the show itself) Although the most interesting double of Xena is yet to appear, I must also say that Princess Diana (I wonder if this is not an homage to the British Diana?) is a very good character and I'm kind of sorry that she was quickly forgotten after the second season, especially that the original double is in question. I like the scenes between her and Gabrielle. I also love Diana and Philemon and how she made him confess his love to her. The episode has a lot of comical moments, of which I especially highlight when Diana throws her chakram to show off in front of poor children and rips off half a crown from her father 🤣 and Xena who defeats the enemies from the chandelier (and her "groom" who was scared of her 🤣) to praise Lucy who is fantastic in as many as four roles (in case you were lost, in addition to Xena and Diana, she plays Xena who pretends to be Diana and Diana who pretends to be Xena) and showed how versatile an actress can be. 👏
