A Deal with the Devil
Kendra worries about her future, so she grabs Jay and confesses her apprehension about bidding on the Pardon. "I'd really like to stay if there's any kind of chance," she begins. "I'm a vote that can be bought to keep around. My vote is gonna stand when you guys need it." Jay considers this deal, commenting, "If I can keep Kendra, Kendra would have my back forever. I say get out someone that's a threat to us…somebody strong from the other team, like Joe Don or Nessa." The two Pirates strike a deal where Kendra is safe and Jay knows he always has a vote on his side.
Chopping Off the Beast's Head
Azmyth meets with his Officers to discuss the impending Black Spots and everyone agrees that Joe Don is their greatest threat. Since Joe Don can't bid on the Pardon this week, he's more vulnerable, which prompts Jay to suggest they get rid of him, thus chopping the head off the beast. Jay convinces Azmyth not to Black Spot Kendra since she will vote the way the Triad wants.
Everyone then decides to nominate Nessa because she'll most likely be the highest bidder on the Pardon, thus improving Joe Don's chances of departure. Because everyone loves Louie, they decide that he should be the third marked Pirate as a placeholder, further ensuring that the votes move towards Joe Don.
Later, when Azmyth hands the summons out to the crew, Kendra is excited to see no Black Spot. When Nessa sees her Black Spot, she is shocked that she received one instead of Kendra. Louie sees his Black Spot, but remains optimistic because of his ties with the women. When Joe Don sees his Black Spot, he knows that Louie's popularity with the crew could hurt his own chances, but states, "I'm just gonna let them know that popularity doesn't win Expeditions."
As the crew commiserates over the Black Spots, they consider Mutiny. After realizing that Jupiter could be the deciding vote, they ask her if she would be willing to vote for Mutiny, but unfortunately for the crew, Jupiter declines.
