A transitive verb appears with a plural subject and no direct object, implying that the activity was undertaken reciprocally. If there are only two participants, a conjoined subject usually provides a close equivalent, e.g. They hugged vs. John and Mary hugged, but it is also possible for the subject to represent multiple participants, e.g. They all hugged.
