![]() The death of a major character in the middle of an episode, in an occurrence that’s only tangential to the series’ main plotlines seems, initially, to be poorly handled. We see Albinus’s men dump Vane’s naked body into a hole and bury him. Although Vane initially gains the upper hand, he’s obviously overmatched, and Albinus quickly beats him to death. Vane’s dealings with Albinus and the scarification mark on his chest suggest that Vane was once involuntarily in Albinus’s employ. He attempts to recruit all of Albinus’s workers to his cause in a speech that seems more desperate than rousing. ![]() Vane has everything he needs, but he goes even further. Albinus consents in return for a share of the profits. Vane initially requests a dozen of Albinus’s men to help wrest Nassau from Guthrie control. According to the credits, the man’s name is Albinus (Garth Collins), but I didn’t notice any point where that name is mentioned in the show. He takes the more important step of freeing himself from his devotion to Eleanor by accepting a job with Captain Hornigold.Īfter missing most of the previous episode, Vane reappears in this one, on an island not far from Nassau, in a lumber camp run by the massive man Vane had been imagining before he set sail. He convinces Eleanor to find jobs for the other slaves freed from The Andromache. Scott is also regaining control of his life after being betrayed and kidnapped to be resold. For Max, taking action in support of Rackham represents a return of her agency and power. For Rackham, the choice to go along with Anne’s plan to murder the remainder of Vane’s crew in order to free Max from their sexual slavery begins to bear fruit, and we see the beginnings of a partnership between Rackham, Anne, and Max. Max must step in and stop the other prostitutes from cheating Rackham. The brothel that he and Anne took over with Vane (before Vane disappeared to parts unknown) has not been showing a profit. He’s too preoccupied with his situation-no captain, no ship, no crew, and no money. Poor Rackham is having trouble maintaining an erection. Or, in the case of Rackham, where they don’t stand. The episode touches on each major storyline to establish where they stand. This episode is about getting the pieces in place for the season finale next episode. Starring Toby Stephens, Hannah New, Toby Schmitz, Mark Ryan, Jannes Eiselen, and Louise BarnesĬomplex episode gets pieces in place for the season finale. ![]()
