Ares is talking to Hera. He tells her that Hercules stole her chalice and that he'd love to go after Hercules but Zeus protection of Hercules forbids it. Hera informs Ares that Hercules just made the biggest mistake, because Zeus promised that if anyone took that chalice from it's place they would be destroyed. He asks how he can deal with Hercules if Zeus... Hera says that Zeus' protection of Hercules has been waived. Ares is thrilled. It's a race against time. Iolaus and Jason try to get the chalice back to it's resting place in the cave before Ares can destroy Hercules.
