Billy Bones swallows his lust for revenge; sparing Flint exposure, yet privately divulges the British navy captured and tortured him but released him with an option to denounce for a pardon for him and a cahoot. Flint grudgingly reneges on his promise to take the fort and eliminate Vane and abandons the raid on the Spanish gold, all to go along in Miranda and Eleanor's plan to secure 'ligitmacy' by returning the Carolinas governor's daughter. Jack Rackhams's maiden voyage as pirate captain turns nightmarish when a rival's stronger crew imposes pitiful sharing terms, so he risks a daring confrontation.
