Captain Azmyth meets with his Officers to determine which three pirates should receive the Black Spots for the upcoming Pirates' Court. When everyone realizes that Nessa will probably purchase the Pardon, Azmyth decides to throw a loop into the game and not give Nessa a Black Spot, thus making her bid pointless. Jay agrees and also nominates Sean because he doesn't trust Sean ever since he went back on his word.
Everyone also agrees Louie should receive a Black Spot since he himself stated that a former Captain should always be tested at Pirates' Court after he or she is removed from power. When they can't think of a third pirate to mark, Jay suggests Laurel because she doesn't take sides in this game. Pleased with their decisions, the Captain and his Officers prepare to meet with the crew.
Pirates' Court - The Pardon Changes Hands
The entire crew gathers on deck for Pirates' Court, where Cameron asks Joe Don to hold up the Royal Pardon and he explains that whoever has the highest bid will be safe, though they must pay Joe Don the full amount whether they need the Pardon or not. Azmyth explains that he marked Louie because of his own belief that a Captain should be put on the stand. He marked Laurel because they don't know which side she's on. Finally, he marked Sean because he seems two-faced when talking to the crew.
Louie starts his defense by restating his belief that any former Captain should be tested, before saying "I believe I was a fair Captain and I am ready to take your test." Laurel is the next to defend herself, but she's confused about Azmyth's choice of words because she's not on anybody's side. Azmyth apologizes for his terminology, but his explanation only further confuses Laurel and the rest of the crew. Laurel then reassures everyone that she doesn't take sides and that she'll continue to push herself on the Expeditions.
