Black Sails XXXIII (Starz 26 Feb 2017, with Jorge Suquet)

In Black Sails XXXIII Flint has offered himself up as collateral to ensure that the deal with Eleanor goes ahead. If successful it will bring a quick end to the fighting and Nassau will be under total pirate command. But first Eleanor must convince Rogers to pull back. She sends Mrs Hudson out on a launch with news of the plan and asks him to withdraw to Port Royale for two weeks when she will meet him there. He initially ignores the request but then appears to acquiesce.

Rather than heading to the English Port Royale Rogers instead heads to Spanish controlled Havana. He tells the governor that if leaves the fort alone they can raise the rest of Nassau to the ground.

The cache has arrived back on the island. Billy thinks he has persuaded Silver to get rid of Flint once and for all when the exchange is made. Silver though has plans of his own for Billy. Whilst Eleanor is taken out of a different tunnel entrance Billy is taken out by Israel. With Billy almost dead Silver orders Israel to take him to the Underhill estate – presumably to allow the slaves their to get their revenge on him.

As the episode closes Rogers is on his way back to Nassau with a flotilla of Spanish ships in tow.

classic quote
“Worry ain’t a good look for a King, not in a Kingdom like this. Where loyalty is in short supply.”
