Xena's horse, Argo, is at first disturbed because the person walking next to him looks and smells like Xena but animal instincts say that it is not Xena (cause it isn't). Then the false Xena cuts the horse in a way that's meant to be a fatal wound that will take time to kill the horse (so the real Xena has time to find the horse and is forced to put him down). But the real Xena knows how to heal the horse and doesn't have to put Argo down. The horse is fine by the end of the episode.

Um... A centaur dies, not exactly during the episode but we learn of his recent death early in the episode. So I guess he wouldn't be classified as human, though I certainly wouldn't call him an animal. He's a bit of both and also neither.

This episode is like watching the freaking Blair witch project only without any logical reason for the wild camera movements. The whole episode the camera not only moves around in fast unpredictable ways, but the movement on screen also looks strange, similar to when a show is trying to depict what things look like through the eyes of a character who is high (only nobody is high). The episode is extremely unpleasant to watch.

Yes, very much so. The people of the village in this episode follow a new god, a single god (not the usual Greek gods) and that god has told them to do various things, seemingly including having the village leader sacrifice his youngest son on the altar.

The demon Dahak is the driving antagonist of Season 3, though he doesn’t appear on-screen (in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”, he does). Mephistopheles, the King of Hell, later appears, then Lucifer. Hell itself is depicted in “The Ides of March”, “Fallen Angel”, “The Haunting of Amphipolis”, and “You Are There”.

Up until this episode it's always been a plot point in the show that Gabrielle is an innocent maiden. In this episode she gets married and has the traditional wedding night. So she's an adult who is married before losing her virginity, but she is no longer a virgin after this episode. They show a scene of her with her husband telling him that she's never done this before, so it's super clear that she's losing her virginity.

Kind of. Not the actual consensual kind, but a woman is torturing a man and she has him in a collar on a leash. She is beating him and explaining that she enjoys causing pain. At one point she kisses him on the mouth. When she finally leaves him he makes a joke about how he paid for the whole hour and then he passes out (presumably from pain).
