Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer attempt to put the North Star back into the sky after Aphrodite stole the Mystic Diamond (which is vital to the North Star) from the Temple of the Heavens. To try and distract them, she plants a spell on the trio, known as 'Obsession'. Xena becomes obsessed with fishing, Gabrielle with her own image and Joxer with the story of "Atis, the Ape Man", causing him to act as if he is a primate.
