When Aphrodite steals a Mystic Diamond - that keeps the North Star lit. She casts a spell on Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer to bring out their innermost desires and to stop their attempts to recover the Mystic Diamond which turns Joxer into an ape man, makes Gabrielle vain, and preoccupies Xena with fishing.
