Awesome episode. A little bit of everything. Some politics on Nassau with the pirate crew trying to hold it down, Rackham and Max’s move makes sense, but doing anything on the sly without Vane knowing is not good. Got a good dose of Eleanor’s past as she navigates her own political traps. Blackbeard steps out of the shadows and lays down some old school law, (much to the embarrassment of the kids) which was a great scene.

The show stopper was every scene of the tempest. The most exciting bit of TV I’ve seen in some time. Looked amazing and was super intense. The mast taking off was insane. It must have taken 6 months to finish that sequence. They set the bar high on this one and it’s only the second episode of the season. I hope they can meet it.
