Detailed Synopsis
Billy Bones walks into Gates' office and tells him that it is time. They walk out onto the deck of The Walrus and Gates tells the crew that Billy will be their new quartermaster. Billy tells the crew that they will need to careen the ship. He asks the crew where they should do it and Muldoon suggests somewhere where there is plenty of rum. Froom asks if they will have a tent for fornication and Billy mentions that it is something they can discuss later. Billy asks De Groot his opinion and De Groot says The Walrus is unsuitable for the task of careen the ship and asks to go to find a more suitable beach. Captain Flint says they cannot delay the careening or they will lose their chance at catching the Urca. Billy calls for a vote and all but Morley agree to it. Froom brings up the fornication tent again and after Billy talks about forgoing it, the crew becomes silent. A fornication tent is set up and Randall drops a pig at John Silver's feet. As the ship is being brought onto the beach, Billy remembers the conversation he had with Morley in which Morley told him of the time they were hunting a ship called the Maria Aleyne. He continues that Flint promised them the ship held immense wealth, but once they captured it, it had very little and while he was searching the ship he overheard a man and woman begging for their lives and afterwards saw Flint leaving after murdering them. Morley tells him that Flint murdered them for Miranda Barlow and good men will die for Flint's hidden agenda. Miranda tells Flint that she misses her life with her former husband Thomas. Rackham finds Captain Charles Vane passed out in his tent from opium. Rackham leaves his tent and Vane looks out and sees Albinus staring at him and then seemingly disappear. Captain Benjamin Hornigold confronts Mr. Scott about Eleanor Guthrie humiliating Vane and mentions that other captains are worried about losing their livelihoods, because they may have upset Eleanor. He tells him that every morning he sees Lilywhite raving to others about the problems of having only one person to sell their goods. He then warns Mr. Scott to control Eleanor. O'Malley tells Mr. Scott that the Andromache has arrived. Mr. Scott tells Eleanor that Captain Bryson has arrived and she figures out that Hornigold was complaining about her. She tells him that she doesn't care what the captains think and he warns her not to try and detain Bryson if he disagrees with her plan. Flint rides to the beach and De Groot tells them that they are ahead of schedule of cleaning the ship. Flint overhears Muldoon accuse Silver of feeding him bad pork.
