Azmyth tells the crew he needs someone to clean the barnacles off the ship's hull, but he has ulterior motives. "Since Joe Don and Louie would be on the Red Crew, we're gonna tire them out as much as we can in any way we possibly can," he explains. Jay echoes this when he says, "Me and Azmyth want them to be as weak as possible when we got out on these Expeditions. I think it's a great strategy."
Joe Don jumps in the water to clean barnacles while Louie climbs up the rigging to unfurl sails. While the crew works tirelessly, Azmyth and his Officers kick back and enjoy a hearty breakfast prepared by Jupiter. As Louie works on the ship, he watches the triad and says, "They don't want to feed us that well and we're working hard and they are definitely racking and stacking that deck because those greedy blue coats just want more gold."
Once Azmyth wakes up, he meets with Laurel in the galley to apologize for his confusing terminology in the previous Pirates' Court. As Azmyth tries to explain the idea of taking sides in this game, Laurel reiterates that she doesn't take sides when voting. Despite the apology, Laurel's attitude towards Azmyth doesn't change. "I have no respect for that fool right now," she explains. "When he's in the blue coat, he's a totally different person…He's a super freak in a blue coat."
The Purser's Treasure
The Pirates gather on the quarterdeck where host Cameron Daddo presents the Chest of Zanzibar. Christa opens the next compartment and Cameron reveals that the next treasure was hidden by the ship's Purser, who left the first clue beneath a floating marker, secure inside a bottle. Azmyth and his Officers join the Black Crew while the rest of the crew picks shot to determine which crew they will join. The Black Crew consists of Azmyth, Ben, Jay, Laurel and Jupiter while the Red Crew includes Joe Don, Louie, Kendra, Nessa and Christa.
As the longboats are lowered, Jay thinks about what could happen if the Black Crew loses. "The reality of this is if we lose it, the triad is in trouble," he explains. "Almost guaranteed, at the next Pirates' Court, one or all of us will be Black Spotted."
