Detailed Synopsis
Captain Flint recounts the story of Rebecca from the Bible to John Silver. Flint talks about how close they are to victory. The lookout spots two ship flags. De Groot tells Flint that there is no signs of alarms being raised. Silver goes to speak with Madi and tells her that with how little men Woodes Rogers has, they should be able to make their landing on Nassau. Rackham gives orders to the pirate armada crew. He suggests to Blackbeard that they give the crew some encouraging words and afterwards, Blackbeard comments to Anne Bonny that the reason she doesn't speak much is because Rackham never stops talking. Flint notices that Rogers' ships aren't moving and there are no guns on the fort. Silver notices the Defiant, the lead ship is suddenly changing direction and Flint orders The Whale to turn around. The Walrus begins to scrape against ships sunk and used as traps and becomes stuck. Captain Berringer tells Rogers the barricade held and Rogers has the cannons on the fort open fire on the pirate fleet. He then gives the order to have his sloops engage the fleet. Flint has the topsails and t'gallants reset which gives the crew of The Walrus enough height to then engage the fort. Flint then orders everyone to abandon ship. Kofi escorts Madi off The Walrus while Silver finds another way off. Anne wonders why Blackbeard isn't firing back and Rackham tells her that if they did, they would kill as many pirates as Redcoats. The rigging Silver is hanging from is blown away and he falls into the water. Rogers agrees to let Berringer chase after Blackbeard instead of rounding up the crew from The Walrus. Rogers leaves the fort and orders someone to bring Eleanor Guthrie to him. In the secure area of the fort, Eleanor sits next to Mrs. Hudson and the other women embroidering pieces of fabric while Pastor Lambrick preaches to some of them. Max notices the sounds of battle have ceased and wonders if it is a good sign for them. Lieutenant Utley tells Eleanor that Rogers would like to see her. Eleanor goes to Rogers and tells him that she will play the part of a wife if that assures his success. Rogers then leaves with Berringer to patrol the streets. Madi stands on the beach with Flint as the last longboat comes ashore. Flint tells her that Silver is also his friend and as the survivors on the longboat climb out, Silver is not among them. Billy Bones and his men arrive at the beach and Flint demands to know why Billy didn't warn him about the scuttled ships, but Billy tells him that he did send message via Featherstone for Flint to be warned. They realize Featherstone has betrayed them. Billy asks about Silver and Flint tells him that Silver is missing. Madi has a flashback of her and Silver in bed together when Silver told her about the legend of the pirate king that Billy spread, and the pirate king is Silver.
