The Walrus crew is stranded on the beach with an army of Spanish soldiers standing between them and the gold on Urca de Lima. When going before his former crew to face judgment for his crimes, Flint devises a plan for survival to sneak aboard the warship and take out the watchman. Thinking he means to escape, Silver volunteers to go on the mission. Meanwhile, Eleanor struggles to maintain her hold on Nassau as a new threat arrives; the murderous pirate Ned Low and his equally violent crew from his ship, Fancy. Also, Vane has a new position at the fort on New Providence, while Jack is reduced to being labeled a "crew-killer" and endures daily beatings.
