Obsessed

I know Lucy added that line as well as “Yes, both ways” but a lot of it is just spur of the moment improvisation. It’s not something they actually plan or intend to do in the same way Renee’s ‘She likes what I do’ was just a slip of the tongue. She actually meant to say “She likes what she does” but they kept it because it was funnier.

It’s something I don’t talk about enough about the making of Xena. That, sure, they had scripts but so much of their dialogue was either freestyle or just complete cock ups left in the Final Cut of the episode.

If anything - the “subtext” wrote itself. Or if we’re going to say it was divine intervention: God wanted it queer. It wasn’t just the natural organic progression. It was fate. There are so many moments where it was just perfect timing in capturing what is a fun homoerotic moment.

Odds are Lucy and Renee never saw the gay initially because they didn’t realize how much of it is just them.

Lucy does a bit of improv, Renee bounces off it automatically and they just have this very authentic chemistry that almost certainly will translate as romantic/sexual tension between their characters.

They don’t intend any of it. And it’s the best thing ever.

She loooves that waist. Or maybe she loves the leather.

Their physical intimacy is crazy in Season 3 and Season 4 for a TV show that can’t show sex between females.

This is why I’ve always said that they were sexually involved since the ‘The Quest’ but not yet a couple.

Because that makes the most sense to me.
