Pirates on Top of the World
As the Pirates start to wake up in the cabin below, Joe Don shares a moment with his Bosun, Jay, on the ship's deck. Jay takes the opportunity to further solidify his alliance with his Captain by reassuring him that, "Nobody knows how much I got your back." However, Joe Don is unaware that Jay's loyalty is still only based on financial rewards.
Jupiter spends the morning decorating her shipmates' faces with her creative application of eye makeup. However, she is interrupted whey Jay orders the crew to raise the flag and set sail. Joe Don watches his crew raise the sails and comments, "We're gonna go to the next treasure, north of the island, and head out on an Expedition later on today and it should be full of adventure and fun." When Jupiter climbs up the rigging and helps raise the sails, she marvels at this one-of-a-kind experience. "I feel like I'm on top of the world right now," she exclaims. Laurel takes a moment to explain how important this experience is to her as well, revealing that she has been living in a van for the past year and a half. "Being a Pirate is more about the state of mind than anything", she explains. "Doesn't matter if you're on a boat or in a van." While everyone else seems to be enjoying the Pirate experience, Alexis seems less enthusiastic than her shipmates. After taking a moment to complain about the constant work that has to be done on the ship, she says, "I'm like, sore and tired. I feel like a log and it's not fun."
A Treasure's Secret Written in Blood
The ship drops anchor and host Cameron Daddo calls the crew to the deck. Cameron shows everybody the key to the next compartment in the Chest of Zanzibar and Joe Don chooses Jay to open the next compartment. Jay uses the key and retrieves two scrolls and a letter written by Captain Henry Steel from the chest. While reading the letter to the crew, Cameron reveals that this particular treasure was hidden by the ship's Quarter Master. "He was a bloodthirsty pirate who reveled in writing secret code in blood," Cameron explains. "The blood was rarely his own."
