A Palm Tree in the Sky is where the Treasure Lies
On the beach, the Black Crew can't see anything through their spyglass because it got wet on their trek back to the beach. As they try to dry it out, the Red Crew starts to catch up. Christa convinces her crew to just head towards the island while they wait for the spyglass to dry, so they hop back into the longboat and head out, hoping to find a heart that will lead to their next clue. The Red Crew uses their spyglass to find the heart on a tree across the horizon and the Black Crew sees it too as they paddle to shore.
When both crews arrive at the island, they hike up a steep hill, through jagged terrain. Nessa leads the Black Crew to a gravestone and they unearth a casket, which contains their next clue: "The closest point to heaven is palm tree in the sky. Underneath its braches is where my treasure lies." The Black Crew spots a palm tree up the hill, where the treasure is buried. Arriving at the palm tree, the Black Crew starts digging around it while the Red Crew catches up to them.
Christa starts to dig a hole, but gives up on it, leading Jay to dig deeper into the same hole, where he finds a bag containing the treasure. The Red Crew cheers and Jupiter fires the blunderbuss, signaling their win. As Christa starts crying because she was so close, Jay comments, "On the next Expedition, I'm just gonna like dig one foot around Christa. I figure it's easier than trying to find it myself."
A New Louie and an Old Captain
Exhausted from the Expedition, the Black Crew heads below deck where Louie grabs Joe Don's hands and strikes a truce, proclaiming that he no longer has vengeance in his life. "I no longer wear the blue jacket," he explains. "No longer do I have any vengeance. I'm back to the humble seaman, a worthy swab."
Meanwhile, the Red Crew climbs back on deck and eagerly counts their treasure, which is worth $40,000. When Cameron informs everyone that they must pick a new Captain, everyone nominates Azmyth again. Azmyth accepts the position, takes his half of the treasure, and chooses Ben and Jay to be his new Officers. As the rest of the crew heads below deck with their portion of the treasure, Azmyth feels good about being Captain again. "I decided to choose Ben and I decided to choose Jay, two really strong guys," he explains. "And I really hope to be there with them 'til the end." Back in the Captain's cabin, Azmyth decides to share a lot of the treasure with the rest of the crew, just like he did last time.
