X Marks the Spot
Once both crews have passed the sabotage, everyone looks for the Croc's Head landmark. Jay sees a pair of ocean cliffs and comments, "It was crazy. It was like the ocean had actually carved two crocodile heads right into the stone." The Black Crew heads toward the cliffs with the Red Crew tailing behind. Azmyth finds a pile of rocks with a small, wooden box buried underneath. Inside the box, the Pirates find an old parchment with their next clue written on it: "Travel back to a nearby canyon cave where your map fits in a slot. A Treasure concealed will be revealed when X marks the spot." The Black Crew heads off in search of a nearby cave while Sean, who assists an injured Joy, and the rest of the Red Crew, find their box with the same clue.
Azmyth leads the Black Crew into a cave nestled between large rocks. He enters the cave alone, where he places the wooden map on a slot that rests on one of the cave walls. Using a nearby mirror that reflects a ray of sunlight onto the map, Azmyth notices where the reflected light hits the map, creating an "X" image where the treasure must be buried. Emerging from the cave, Azmyth leads the Black Crew back to the beach, assured that he knows exactly where to find the treasure. The Red Crew arrives at the cave shortly after the Black Crew has left, and Ben uses the map and mirror to discover the X on the beach.
Follow the Leader...Astray
Back on the beach, the Black Crew searches for an X near the anchor, since that's where Azmyth had seen the X on the map. No one can find the X, so Azmyth leads his crew farther down the beach. After leading his crew in circles, Azmyth decides to head back with his crew so everyone can take a look at the treasure's location. With the Black Crew gone, the Red Crew arrives at the anchor and just starts digging.
The Black Crew returns to the cave and Azmyth leads everyone inside to look at the map. When everyone realizes the treasure is in fact buried where they just came from, Azmyth admits, "I'm a bastard for putting us away from the anchor." On the beach, the Red Crew continues to dig for awhile before the Black Crew returns. Together, both crews dig up dirt and mud all around the anchor, in search of the buried treasure.
