SYNOPSIS:

Synopsis by Liz Sheppard

Nemesis is carrying a baby while being chased by guards on horses. She loses them at the river, but the baby floats down stream and she can't find him. She takes a horse and goes after it.

Hercules is fishing, but catches the baby. Nemesis comes by, but Iolaus is not too thrilled to see her. She tells them that the baby is Evander and that Herc's the father.

Herc and Nemesis go to have a little talk while Iolaus plays with Evander. He teaches Evander how to fish. It's quite a scene. "...We catch him, we throw him on the fire and YES! we got a toasted little supper. yum yum yum yum." Herc and Iolaus go fishing and Evander decides to have some fun. He "throws" little rocks at them, leaving them arguing. They talk about how Herc feels about Nemesis and Evander. He still loves her.

Nemesis leaves Evander to stay with Herc. They find him on the ground and the horse gone. Evander cries and they try to figure out why.

Ares and Discord are talking about his new castle that she got for him. The guards show up saying they can't find Nemesis and the baby. Ares sends Discord to go with the guards...after a little flirting.

Nemesis is having problems when Discord pops by. Discord demands to know where the baby is, but Nemesis won't tell her. The guards show up and capture Nemesis.

Herc is carrying Evander on his back with Iolaus making goofball faces at the child...and floating off the ground. Everytime he tries to get Herc to see, Herc turns around and Iolaus falls. Herc doesn't believe it when Iolaus tells him that he thinks that Evander is doing it. "Evander, will you please stop floating Uncle Iolaus?"

Nemesis and Discord have a little talk while surrounded by guards in a village. The guards and villagers think that Nemesis is crazy because they can't see Discord. Discord is mad at her because she had the right to kill people and Nemesis took her job.

Herc, Iolaus, and Evander arrive just in time to see Nemesis tied to a stake and about to be burned. Big long fight scene that's in every Herc episode. Evander floats a thug. Discord gets a torch and burns Nemesis, but Herc the Hero saves her.

That night, Nemesis says she trusts him, but that she lied. Ares is Evander's father. Herc's not happy that she lied. She says that she doesn't want to be a god anymore because they don't love. Evander burps up a fire ball, which proves that he has some god-like powers. They plan to save the baby from Ares, who plans to turn the child to evil.

Ares tries to convince Discord that Evander will one day be able to kill Hercules, but she wants to kill him, but she can't because a god can't kill a god. Since Evander is a half-god, he can. She thinks that the baby is Herc's.

Herc changes Evander while Iolaus and Nemesis talk. She's sorry that she hurt Herc. Herc and Evander go for a walk and run into Ares. He wants the baby but Herc won't give him to him. Nemesis and Iolaus are hanging over a cliff by a rope that Discord set up. Discord finds out that Evander is Ares' son and does this eye thing that snaps some of the rope. Herc gives Evander to the gods and saves his friends. Discord is carrying the baby but can't disappear because he's not a full god. Ares creats a horse for Discord to ride back to the castle. The good guys follow the horse tracks.

Discord is giving Evander a bath. She's mad that her lover boy Ares slept with Nemesis and decides to drown the baby, but Ares saves him.

Meniscos, the head guard, gets mad and preaches to the other guards how he hates this job. Ares hears this and makes Evander (who's dressed like a little warlord) float him. Discord shows up and runs away with the baby. She runs to the top of the wall of the castle and drops Evander, but Herc catches him. Discord and Nemesis fight. Evander sees the women fighting and levitates a big rock that hits Discord, he then floats to his mom. Ares and Herc fight (can't these two EVER get along??) while Iolaus floats while fighting bad guys. Ares gives up on the child and leaves.

Herc and Nemesis say their good-byes. kiss kiss. Herc then says some good fatherly words to Evander.
