The Alternate Reality was created by Julius Caesar, after tampering with Xena's fate. This world depicted Caesar and Xena as the Emperor and Emperess of Rome, respectivley. Gabrielle was a playwrite, who performed "Fallen Angel" (Based on the episode) for Xena and Caesar. Gabrielle was later arrested by the Romans for alleged implications in an assassination attempt on Xena. This was later revealed as a ruse by Caesar to get rid of Gabrielle and prevent Xena and Gabrielle from realising whoever each other were. It is Gabrielle who travels to the Fates to destroy the loom and restore reality to its previous/"original" state.
