• In 1.02 - Between Friends, Iolaus spars against Nysus Gaius using padded quarterstaffs on an elevated lattice.

Sleeping Arrangements

During the Season 1 episodes, the dorms of the Academy are set up as bunks against the walls of a long hallway, one bunk closer to the floor with the second bunk on a raised platform inset closer to the wall. The bunk assignments change over the course of the season.

• In the middle of 1.02 - Between Friends when Strife is eavesdropping, Jason sleeps on the bottom bunk, with Hercules in the top bunk above him. Nysus Gaius sleeps on the top bunk on the opposite side of the hallway.
• At the end of 1.02 - Between Friends when Hercules and Jason sneak back into the dorms, Jason sleeps on the bottom bunk, with Hercules in the top bunk above him. Iolaus sleeps on the bottom bunk on the opposite side of the hallway.
• In 1.13 - Forgery, the sleeping arrangements are a little odd - Hercules's bunk (which catches on fire) is on the floor, in front of Lilith's, who sleeps in the bottom bunk above him. There is a top bunk above hers in which another cadet sleeps. Hercules's bunk seems the be the only one that is triple-stacked in the hallway. The bed across the hallway from Lilith's is empty, with the blanket made, so it's possible (although irrational) that Herc pulled the matress off his bunk, smoothed the blanket back down, and then set the matress on fire.
• In 1.34 - Get Jason, Hercules sleeps in a top bunk.
• In 1.34 - Get Jason, Jason sleeps in a bottom bunk.
