Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire is an episode of the syndicated television series Xena: Warrior Princess. The episode is the second musical episode of the series following The Bitter Suite, although unlike The Bitter Suite which featured original music, Lyre, Lyre uses existing songs including "War", "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" and "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me".
Plot Synopsis
Xena and Gabrielle break up an impending conflict between a band of Amazons and the warlord Draco and his gang. The two groups are clashing over a lyre, one of several secreted around Greece by the muse Terpsichore to encourage the development of music. Xena suggests holding a "battle of the bands" to determine ownership of the lyre and both sides agree.
Word of the contest spreads to the nearby city of Melodia and dozens of performers turn out to compete. Among them is Jace, the third identical triplet of Joxer. Jace is a flamboyant performer who displays stereotypically gay mannerisms and affects a fake Spanish accent and Joxer is ashamed of him. Xena tries to organize the contest while dodging her mother who, upon discovering that Xena is pregnant, sends a succession of suitors her way. Xena finally convinces her mother that she has a family already to raise her child and she doesn't need a husband.
Draco, who has long been in love with Gabrielle under a spell of Cupid's arrow, kidnaps Gabrielle just before the battle of the bands begins. Xena confronts Draco, frees Gabrielle and wins the battle of the bands. She donates the lyre back to the people of Melodia. During a stirring finale featuring "People Got to Be Free", Jace and Joxer reconcile.
