                                          I found a way to reach into the past…

#flint’s first scene this season was him talking to silver about ‘two peoples within you who shall be divided’#‘fighting over who gets to be the first one to see the light of day’#and his last scene is described by silver as james ‘reorienting to the daylight’#if you thought I was done crying YOU THOUGHT WRONG#when will another show ever be as exquisite

Number of years back, before you crewed up with us, Flint had us hunting a merchant ship, the Maria Aleyne. Sephardic trade… gold, pearls, jewels. “More than we’d ever know what to do with,” he said. But that’s Flint’s gift, isn’t it? Always knows just what to say to push us harder, further, make us all pull together for the cause. We tracked that bitch for months without refitting or careening, till finally we spotted her. We lost good men taking her for a haul nowhere near what Flint had promised. While I was exploring the hold, I chanced upon a cabin and that’s when I heard it. ‘Twas a man and a woman begging for their lives. “Spare us, and our fortune’s yours.” For a moment, I thought all our shares were gonna be worth a whole lot more. But that’s when the screams began. And when I watched the murderer leave, I saw him plain.
