About C.A. Rallo, Esq. / Xena Museum & Athenaeum Expertise I am a serious fan and collector, the owner of the largest individually owned collection of original screen used props, costumes, wardrobe, production material and set decorations from the groundbreaking and iconic series Xena Warrior Princess. I can answer or find the answer to questions regarding episodes, plots, character and actor appearances, the history of the show, the chances of a movie and more. My speciality would be specific questions concerning the identification of props, costumes, accessories and so on from the show, and authentication of them, and I can often provide references to comps to assist in approximating the market value of same.
Experience Many of the pieces in my collection, the XENA MUSEUM & ATHENAEUM can be seen at www.yourprops.com; search for Xena to view my collection listed under "Xena Museum", or you may view the collections of other great fans there as well. Also visit my website, THE XENA MUSEUM & ATHENAEUM at http://xenamuseum.googlepages.com/home. The pieces present there represent only the part of my collection that I have posted so far - more to come! I have done work for props dealers with retail websites and both dealers and individuals on ebay, assisting them with identifying the episode and scene in which a specific prop or wardrobe piece appeared. I have also assisted in evaluating authenticity of props of questionable origin. In addition, I have worked with creators and commissions of one-of-a-kind Xena artist dolls to ensure accuracy in the making of their miniature props and costumes from various episodes. I am an attorney, practice including litigation and environmental law. Not directly related to my Xena expertise but does provide me with many skills.

Question Hi, I once watched an episode of Xena that was televised late at night and seemed to last last longer than usual. This episode contained all of Xena's past with her husband and had Xena's betrayal of the Chinese family in it. However, i cannot work out which series or episode it actually was. any enlightenment would be appreciated
Thank you
Answer I am not certain but think by betrayal you are talking about the episode where she kidnaps the child of the Chinese ruler. If so you are referring to an episode called The Debt which was a two parter. In this episode she goes back to Chin to repay her debt to Lao Ma for rescuing her when, after Borais discovers she kidnapped the child, he throws her out and she is being hunted.
