This episode begins with a visit from a former shipmate of Blackbeard's played by the hilarious Will Arnett who is wild to say the least. He is an extreme partier using rum, whippies, and yardies to bring craziness onto the Revenge. Stede is really taken back by the dynamics between Ed and Calico Jack, but agrees to try and like him based on Ed's relationship with Calico. There is a hilarious scene on the beach that is so ridiculous that even Stede walks away and returns to the ship. Things get heated leading to a show-down between Stede and Calico where Stede bans him from the Revenge. Surprisingly to Stede, Blackbeard leaves telling Ed that this is who he always was. Heartache continues as we watch Stede pine for Ed while he observes the antics on the beach through his telescope. Things progress and Ed learns he was betrayed by Izzy and that the English are on the way to destroy Stede. In the most romantic and sensitive scene so far in the series, Blackbeard returns to the Revenge to be with Stede as they are invaded by the British. In a touching improv scene, Ed touches his foot to Stede's while they are both face down on the deck, hands tied behind their backs. Even though this seems dismal, the two are together again. Cue The Chain and the soundtrack has once again melted our hearts.
