Last Moments of Freedom
Later that day, Louie takes a moment to teach Laurel how to steer the ship. Louie enjoys his paternal relationship with the women on the ship. "I trust my ladies and I've always said it and I've told it to them too. I'm proud of 'em and I look at 'em just like my daughters," he says. "But you never know what they're gonna do."
Meanwhile, Nessa shares a moment with Joe Don. The two discuss Louie's popularity in comparison to Joe Don's athleticism on the Expeditions. "I adore Louie, everybody does," Nessa explains. "But when it comes down to the Expeditions, Joe Don's really strong, so if he's taken out of the equation, there's a good chance we've been checkmated by Azmyth."
Nessa starts to flirt with Joe Don again as the two lie together on the ship's deck. "Joe Don's definitely my main confidante and probably the person I'm closest with on the ship right now," Nessa says. "I don't wanna see him leave."
With Pirates' Court looming, Jay reiterates the importance of Kendra's vote tonight and asks her to vote for Joe Don. Kendra is hesitant to agree. "I am extremely conflicted over selling my vote for Joe Don because Joe Don is the best chance we have to break up the triad," she admits. But she complies with Jay's request, even though she is still conflicted.
Pirates' Court - Who Will Go? The Father or the Warrior?
That night, everyone gathers on deck for Pirates' Court. Azmyth explains that he marked Nessa because she seems dissatisfied after losing the Expeditions. He marked Louie as a placeholder and Joe Don because he is a fierce competitor.
Nessa begins her defense by admitting that she doesn't like to lose, before branding Azmyth and his Officers cowards. "While I see that you have a strategy, I think it's unfortunate that you don't welcome your competition," she states, staring into the Captain's eyes. "That you'd rather stack the deck than embrace the competition that's out there. But I'm sure there's some method to your madness."
