PART TWO! Stede “the Audacity” Bonnet thinks he can just slide right back into his old life, but instead, Mary’s like “new phone, who dis?” and his kids are like “dad who?” and Evelyn is like “murder’s a natural cause,” so Stede’s gotta skedaddle, like, now. After realizing what we’ve all been screaming at our TVs this whole time (that he’s in love with Ed, obvs), he stages an epic f**kery and follows his heart into the sea. Meanwhile, Ed spends a while practicing healthy heartbreak coping until Izzy “top me, daddy” Hands ruins everything and turns him back into the Kraken. To prove that he is still Blackbeard he cuts off Izzy’s toe, throws all Stede’s stuff out on the lawn, pushes Lucius overboard, and maroons the crew on the literal desert island emoji , bidding farewell to Bonnet’s playthings just in time to miss Stede’s reappearance. Of course.

Izzy Hands had a whole plan to rescue his beloved Blackbeard from the clutches of Stede Fooking Bonnet, but Edward Teach had other ideas. After invoking the titular Act of Grace, Ed and Stede end up at the Academy for Wayward Seamen, where a clean shaven Blackbeard-turned-Ed confesses his feelings for Stede and they KISS on the BEACH because they are GAY PIRATES IN LOVE!!!  But then, oh no! Stede gets kidnapped by Chauncey Badminton who shoots himself through the eye in a drunken haze, causing Stede to bolt home like a panicked rabbit. Seemingly abandoned by his love, Ed returns to the Revenge just in time to (unfortunately) save Izzy from the crew’s mutiny.  Join us aboard The Gay Pirate Podcast for Our Flag Means Death season 1 episode 9, Act of Grace Images of everything we discussed are on the episode webpage!

You know that feeling when you’re trying to bask in moon glow and some jackass with a weird mustache and a shitty attitude interrupts? That’s right, Calico Jack is on the scene, ready to cause a ruckus and doing a right fine job of it too. He has a plan to get Blackbeard away from the Revenge before the British show up, and he would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for this meddling witch and his little bird.  Instead, Jack dies (good riddance), and Ed returns to the Revenge in time to get captured alongside his beloved like this is a Shakespeare play or something. Also there’s that moment with the foot touch and The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, RIP all of our hearts.  Join us aboard The Gay Pirate Podcast as we discuss Our Flag Means Death season 1 episode 8, We Gull Way Back! Get your tickets to our live recording of the season one finale! There will be pirate costumes, special guests, a live Q&A, and more! Images of everything we discussed are on the episode webpage!
