No Joy On The Mountain
The Red Crew faces another setback when Joy twists her knee during the trek up the mountain. Sean comes to her rescue when he picks her up, throws her over his shoulder, and carries her up the hill. Meanwhile, the members of the Black Crew open the Compass Plate to receive their next set of clues. They must find an altar nearby to put the Compass Plate on top of and then use the mysterious Compass Spoon found in the box to lead them to the Master Gunner's buried treasure. The Compass Spoon is an old fashioned way of reading north, south, east, and west. If you stick the Spoon on the Compass Plate, the Spoon's red tip points north and will tell the Crew where to walk to find the treasure. Azmyth finds the altar and they use the Compass Plate to determine how close they are to the treasure.
Azmyth Locates the Loot
As Azmyth and the rest of the Black Crew search through the leaf-covered ground, the Red Crew starts to catch up and realizes the Black Crew hasn't found the treasure yet -- they still have a chance. The Red Crew searches for their Compass Plate in the Snake Pit. Christian tries to keep the snakes away from the others, but Jay notices he's not doing a very good job at it. Eventually Azmyth finds the treasure buried under a bed of leaves. The Black Crew rejoices and fires the Blunderbuss in the air, signaling their second win in a row.
As the Red Crew returns to the ship, everyone helps an injured Joy climb up the side of the ship. Sean watches as Joy's knee is bandaged up and notes, "If you gotta throw the dart at one of us who lost the expedition, it would definitely be Joy. Not due to lack of physical strength, endurance, or prowess. Just due to injury."
I'll Take Half!
The mood is decidedly different for the Black Crew as they excitedly bring their treasure onboard and dump out the coins on the deck, with the Red Crew watching from below deck. Once all the coins are counted, the Black Crew learns that the treasure is worth $45,000. Joe Don takes his half, but before the Officers can get their portion, Joe Don learns that he now has the opportunity to choose two new Officers. He elects to keep Cheryl and Ben by his side, so a quarter of the treasure gets split up between the two of them. Louie can barely hide his disappointment over Joe Don not choosing new Officers. "I'd like to set all three of them adrift at once," he says. "And I want them to see the inside of a shark's belly." The remaining quarter of the treasure is shared among the rest of the Black Crew, where each member gets $2,250. Now, the Captain has until the morning to decide which three Pirates will be marked with the Black Spot for Pirates' Court.
