The Furies job was justice and once done, done. A price of some sort had to be paid. I was delighted at the end when Xena would not ask forgiveness of the Urn. I don't think that the look of concern on her face was guilt but rather, alarm at the irony that the Nurturer now hopes for external forgiveness while the Destroyer is being nurtured toward self-forgiveness. I see it as another step in the removal of 'female creator' from the collective psyche and a natural outgrowth of the idea of female as vessel and not creator.
Destiny is removed to the external whims.
A creator has no need of external forgiveness. The past is recycled and re-creates. Xena is framed by the sun which is increasingly brighter as it swallows her. Pun entirely intended. In my many repeat watchings of The Bitter Suite I keep thinking of that scene where Solon disolves into Gabrielle.
