Maternal Instincts
When Gabby's threatening Thayla/Hope with her staff, in the shots from the front the fuzzy thing is to the back and her right elbow is above the staff while her left is low. From the back, the fuzzy end is pointed at Hope and both of her elbows are low.
We don't know exactly when Hope leaves the hut, but it must be while Xena is talking directly to Kaleipus or she would have seen her go. Xena has already said Solan's name before she turns to Kaleipus, so Hope should have heard it. And she has the chance to hear it twice more before we can be absolutely sure she was gone. So knowing his name wasn't proof of her guilt.
When Gabrielle bumps into Hope and she drops the lamb, it bounces so that it's facing away from the camera and almost touching Hope's foot. When they pick it up, it is facing the other way and is in the middle of the space between them.
Gabby left the door to Kaleipus' hut open when she left. When Ephiny came, the doors were closed. And where did the cloth Xena used as a shroud come from?
