Everyone jumps in and quickly starts to turn the dials on the bunker's floor, trying to discover the correct way to unlock the hatch. Both crews are neck and neck until the Black Crew gets their door open first and Jay jumps in, retrieving the treasure. As the Black Crew cheers, the Red Crew suffers their worst defeat yet. "This is probably the hardest loss that I've had," Joe Don explains. "I really wanted to get them out of power and start a new regime."
Drowning Sorrows and Counting Gold
The Red Crew climbs back aboard the ship. Cameron lets Joe Don know that he must sell the Royal Pardon before Pirates' Court. Everyone then heads below deck to drown their sorrows in alcohol. But Kendra is especially worried. "The loss hits me really hard because I barely squeaked by on Pirates' Court last week," she explains. "I'm considered very weak by everybody on the ship and I have a feeling I'm going home. I needed this win."
The mood is decidedly different on the ship's deck when the Black Crew returns victorious and counts their $35,000 of treasure. Azmyth decides to keep his same officers, commenting, "I love Jay and Ben. We're fantastic as a crew together. As long as we can hold this position, I would never turn my back on them."
Friends in High Places
In the Captain's Cabin, the triad splits the treasure 60-40 again, which allows them to pocket extra gold. Jupiter brings snacks to the Captain and his Officers, realizing that her friendship with them can be advantageous. "Though I don't wear the blue coat, I still kind of have an upper hand with being the one who's feeding them," she explains. "So I might just get thrown a little bit more money." This proves to be correct when Jay gives her a few extra gold coins.
Below deck, the Pirates discuss the Royal Pardon and Joe Don comments that he can't place a bid since he is the Pardon's current owner. When pondering her bid, Nessa decides to bid high, seeing an opportunity to keep the Pardon between her and Joe Don.
