Continued from [[1.02 - Between Friends]]. | |||
| Ares is in his temple, talking to Hera. She's upset about the theft of the chalice and wants the thief dead. Ares tells her that it was Hercules, who has Zeus's protection. Hera reveals that Zeus promised to her that anyone who stole the chalice is condemned to death, which means that the protection is void. Ares thanks his mother for the chance to destroy Hercules. | ||
| Ares summons Strife, who is lounging on a couch and being fed grapes by hand by a beautiful woman. The woman yelps at seeing Ares, and with a wave of his hand Ares makes her vanish. Together they plot to get some pain, misery, and suffering out of the chalice before it can reach Zeus's Temple or get placed back into Hera's Cave. | ||
| Hercules, Iolaus, and Jason are walking past the The Pond on their way to Zeus's temple. Hercules has the Chalice tucked under one arm, and they are talking about what Hercules should say to Zeus upon meeting him. Iolaus trips over a small watermelon, thus prompting a quick game of melonball. The game ends when Iolaus fails to catch the "ball", thus resulting in the melon smashing to the ground. Strife appears sitting in a tree and makes the Chalice vanish. Strife also warns Hercules about Hera's anger and "subtly" implies that the Chalice is now with Alcmene. Hercules, worried for his mother, runs off with Jason and Iolaus at his heels. | ||
| Alcmene is tending her garden with her dog, Bear, when a man yelps off-screen: you hear the sounds of a man being thrown off a horse. Alcmene helps the cloaked stranger to his feet and remarks upon how calm her dog is being, "You must have a way with dogs." It is revealed that Ares is the one under the cloak. | ||
| Alcmene admires the Chalice, polishing it with a rag while Ares eats, his arm in a sling. Ares continues to play the role of a traveling stranger, insisting that Alcmene should keep the Chalice despite her polite protests. | ||
Cut to | Cut to Alcmene bring a tray of lemonade out to a picnic table in her front yard. She hears Hercules calling her name as Herc, Iolaus, and Jason run into frame. Seeing her in no danger, Jason assumes Strife was lying. Hercules confesses the theft to Alcmene, and she recognizes the Chalice. | ||
| Ares, clad back in his usual black leather, strolls outside of the house, holding the Chalice. Alcmene is shocked, and Iolaus and Jason seem to be seeing him for the first time. Outraged, Alcmene begins to yell at Ares, but he traps her in a force-field, restricting her voice and movements. Hercules asks him what he wants, and Ares replies, "to see you suffer." Ares explains that Hercules no longer is covered under Zeus's protection, and now Ares can destroy him... and he wants Alcmene to watch. Alcmene manages to break free of the force-field long enough to kick Ares in the shin and run away from him. Ares loses his hold on the chalice and it goes flying into Jason's and Iolaus's hands. Hercules runs over to his mother. They dive in different directions to avoid getting hit by a lightning blast from Ares. | ||
| Hercules tells Iolaus and Jason to take the chalice back to Hera's Cave, and they take off running. Ares captures Hercules, but loses his grip when Alcmene slams a plate into his back. Hercules flips Ares into the picnic table, smashing it to pieces, before grabbing his mother and running inside. Ares laughs, content to let the fight be delayed, and drinks some of Alcmene's lemonade. | ||
| Strife appears, eager to destroy Hercules and Alcmene, but Ares stops him, "Young gods are always in such a rush." Ares explains that there's an art to torturing mortals, and convinces Strife to wait. | ||
| Alcmene is pacing her kitchen as Hercules peeks out the window. She tries to convince Hercules to make a run for it, but he refuses to leave her. She tells him that she's not the target of Ares's anger, and is afraid for Hercules's life without his father's protection. The entire house shakes, reminding them that Ares is outside waiting. Hercules apologizes to his mother for stealing the Chalice. She forgives him and again tells him to run, but Hercules refuses, going outside to face Ares. | ||
| Jason and Iolaus climb the mountain to Hera's Cave. Iolaus is concerned that the Phoenix might come back, and then starts wondering if there was any gold in the cave that they missed, prompting Jason to say, "We're here to return this thing, Iolaus, not exchange it." | ||
| Hercules bursts out of the house, filled with renewed spirit. Ares is more than willing to face him, and they continue their fight. Ares blocks Hercules's attacks while Strife cheers on the sidelines. | ||

Hercules tries to fight back but Ares dodges his attacks, returning fire with hand-to-hand combat and energy bolts shooting from his hands. Strife cheers.
