Clearly the mysterious Connor the boarders keep mentioning has a motto of “proving your worth,” because it has come up multiple times. While Travis heads below deck to work on hot-wiring the boat and figuring a way out of his predicament and Madison distracts the pregnant woman with stories of childbirth so Salazar can attempt to cut his binding, Alicia and Jack have more chance to talk. Their meeting is surprisingly cordial and Abigail tells Strand to meet him at the bar downstairs. The man, whose name is Thomas Abigail, confronts Strand about the $36,000 cash withdrawal he took using the cards that were stolen. Strand’s flashback continues with the man he ripped off and an associate turning up at his fancy hotel. With nothing but an address, he’s made his way to a fancy gated community. Yep, Nick just jumped off the ship to look for something and didn’t tell anyone. It’s looking less and less like the opening scene was a flash-forward, but rather he just hopped off the ship looking for something or someone. Alicia also reveals that Nick wasn’t in her room. He loosens her bindings and lets her know that when a man named Connor shows up he’ll be able to control the situation. He heads off to do so while Jack takes Alicia with him. Travis says Strand has the key, but he can start the boat without it. After courteously removing the man’s shoes and jacket and getting him some water, Strand takes all the cards in the drunk man’s wallet before walking out.īack on the boat, the new arrivals want the key and threaten Chris’ life for it.

The two tie one on at the bar and Strand helps his new friend to his hotel room. A flashback shows the man having a chat and drinks with a man who claims he’s in town as a “buyer.” Strand reveals to the man that Hurricane Katrina contributed to his bankruptcy and that he is looking to start again. It’s finally time to learn a bit about Strand’s past. Strand tries to escape the Abigail, but his raft catches a few bullets and begins to lose air. Mysteriously, they know the names of everyone on the ship even though Alicia says she never told Jack any of that. The boarders tie Travis, Chris and Salazar up in the main room and force Alicia to help do it. That causes the boarders to move for weapons while below deck, the woman slams Madison’s head into the mirror. It’s Jack, the man she was talking to when they first got on the ship. Madison takes the woman whose baby is in distress below deck while Travis and Salazar interrogate the two men. Strand, never having proven to be the best host, doesn’t say anything and opts to run straight for the big gun in his locked chest. The woman is in pain and bleeding so most of the residents of the Abigail move to help. Apparently the three castaways had been floating for days. It’s understandable that they are sticking close to land on their journey to Mexico, but the ocean is a big place, so how many people can they really stumble upon before it gets ridiculous? Their bonding doesn’t last long due to yet another small boat rowing toward the Abigail.

They talk about relationships and Ofelia assures the teen there are probably still other girls on the planet for him to meet, which is quite possibly the worst “plenty of fish in the sea” talk you can get. Out on the deck, Chris and Ofelia are getting to know each other a bit better.

Travis thinks they can survive without their mysterious benefactor, but Madison isn’t so sure. Travis and Madison are discussing Strand and his decision to cut the people they were towing loose from the boat. After the title card, the episode jumps back to shortly after the end of last week’s episode.
