Captain Flint and his crew are brought to a village where they meet The Maroon Queen who demands to know who their captain is. She asks Flint what his name is and then asks who their quartermaster is. John Silver steps forward and The Maroon Queen asks him how they found the island and who else knew where they were. She asks him if he was in her position if he would take the word of a pirate and then has one of the crew taken away while the rest of them are placed inside a cage. During the night, Silver is brought before Madi by Udo. She asks him why his crew refused their pardons and Silver tells her that Flint wants England to fear him, while The Maroon Queen wants her followers to fear England. Before Silver is brought back to the cage, he asks Madi to save Flint's crew from death from The Maroon Queen. Madi tells The Maroon Queen that her plan to kill Flint's crew is a mistake, but The Maroon Queen refuses to change her mind in order to keep their people free.

A shaman dances to music as the shaman applies a paste onto Mr. Scott. Madi asks Udo where Silver is and then goes to find him. She finds Silver and starts criticizing him for not attending the ceremony when she notices his inflamed leg wound. Silver tells her that he has a fever and it will pass. Madi tells Udo to wait while she gets Fremah and Silver tells her that he can't look weak in front of his men or her men. Madi tells him she understands what he is going through and the crown is always a burden, but cannot be worn if he cannot stand.

Fremah applies a poultice to Silver's stump and Madi holds his hand. Afterwards, Silver tells Madi that his burden isn't the crew, but Flint. Later, Madi tells Mr. Scott that she worries about their agreement with Flint, but Mr. Scott assures her that both Flint and Silver have the ability to shape the world to their beliefs and they must be managed to best help them. Mr. Scott then apologizes to Madi for not being around her more so he could tell her about their world. He then tells her to learn about who their common villain is and Madi pulls Woodes Rogers' book from the bookcase.
