Black Sails continues this upcoming Saturday with the sixth episode of the second season. The episode, unlike others, is a little light on action and focuses more on the characters and the development of some. The episode does have its fair share of action, and high octane scenes, but "XIV" is mostly a filler episode, which sets us up nicely for the final four episodes. This episode promises great things ahead for the show.
After someone prevents Vane and Flint from killing each other, Flint decides to make Vane an offer. His life and the fort for Abigail Ashe. Flint believes she holds the key to Nassau's future due to her father, since he is a very powerful man. Flint gathers a few notable faces around a table including Vane and Eleanor and proposes an idea, and then asks for their support, and help in the matter at hand. This proposal could guarantee the future of Nassau, but might put other ventures in jeopardy.
Richard Guthrie attempts to council Flint on the matter and offers him some advice on how to handle Lord Ashe, and how he should go about his proposed idea. Richard informs Flint of his past experiences with negotiating with England, and why Flint's plan simply won’t work. Whether Flint decides to take on board what Richard has said is entirely up to him.
The proposal though forces one of our characters to break an agreement, and another to take matters in to their own hands when one person objects to Flint's proposed plan for the sake of their own greed.
Elsewhere, Billy returns, and this time he has a story to tell, but who will listen? A new alliance is also forged in Nassau when someone offers another a deal, which leaves that person with a choice to make. The consequences of the deal though could mean the downfall of another.
A lot more happens, but that's all I'm going to give you as I don't watch to spoil anything, but below are a few dialogue teasers for you all!
"Will you fulfil your end of this bargain?"
"Side with me and we will show England that this place has never been stronger"
"When that man starts talking, you will believe anything"
"My Priority has always been, and will always be the welfare of my men"
"I'm talking about making money the way London makes it. Collecting it, not hunting it"
As always, thank you for reading! You can catch "XIV" this Saturday 9pm on Starz.
