Blast from the Past
After the ship hits some choppy waters, Cameron Daddo meets with the Pirates and opens the next compartment of the Chest of Zanzibar. He reveals that the next treasure was hidden by Captain Steel's navigator and that this Expedition will take the crew down the Rio del Muerte, a place of ghosts. As he mentions ghosts, the crew is stunned to see their own ghosts from the past return when all the Pirates who have been cut adrift climb onboard the ship.
Nessa is excited to see Joe Don return, but Jay doesn't share her sentiments. "All the ghosts of the old crew that we cut adrift, I'm pretty much responsible for every single one of those people," he points out. "So I'm a little bit nervous."
Instead of picking crews, the Pirates learn that they will all join the Black Crew, along with Captain Azmyth and his Officers. They will compete against the Ghost Pirates on the next Expedition where the winning crew will keep the treasure. Cameron also informs everyone that if the Ghost Pirates win, they will relieve the triad of their command and they will decide who gets the Black Spots.
Ben realizes the enormity of the situation when he says, "There was a lot of resentment and anger coming from those Ghost Pirates that would be directed at myself, Azmyth and Jay. We're the strong triad and we knew that if we lost, our asses were on the line."
As the longboats are lowered, Louie realizes that it's advantageous for either crew to win because he'll either receive gold or dethrone the triad. As Joe Don prepares for the Expedition, he says, "I really want to be the guy that's gotta tell them who gets the Black Spot. I'm gonna slay 'em."
