About this episode

The episode explores the tensions among pirates as they confront Long John Silver and the quest for treasure.

The remaining pirates, angry and frustrated over their lack of success, hold a secret council and present Long John Silver with a "Black Spot". Silver calmly outmaneuvers his men by reminding them that they still have the treasure map. Dr. Livesey arrives at the stockade to treat the sick and injured pirates. Livesey warns Long John that if he holds off on finding the treasure, he will do what he can to save him from the gallows. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911430/episodes/19395...
