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...

You know that feeling when you’re trying to bask in moon glow and some jackass with a weird mustache and a s****y 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...

The Swede has scurvy, but who cares about that when Blackbeard might leave the Revenge?

Ed foolishly introduces Stede to the Art of F**kery, and Stede, theatre gay that he is, obviously cannot wait to try it himself. The crew pull out all the stops and trick some unsuspecting Dutch merchants into participating in immersive theatre. Ed, who was supposed to murder Stede, instead has a trauma flashback about killing his d******d dad, which results in his and Stede’s relationship becoming even closer. Lucky for everyone, Ed taught Stede how to get stabbed without dying, because...

It’s party time! The Revenge crew raid a ship and come away with invites to some sort of fancy party for hoity-toity people, where Oluwande and Frenchie conduct the world’s first pyramid scheme, Blackbeard charms everyone as Jeff the Accountant, and Stede has no fun at all until these posh nobs turn on his beloved Ed, at which point he pulls out the sick burns—both metaphorically and literally.  Back on the Revenge, Izzy Hands is trying to start his own homophobia party, but no one wants to...

Stede Bonnet’s life turns from literal nightmare to metaphorical dream when he awakens from his near death run-in with the Spanish to find an astonishingly attractive man at his bedside. Even better, this man (spoiler, it’s Blackbeard) fancies a fine fabric and is a full-blown theatre gay, so our smitten heroes team up to become a lighthouse. Then they eat marmalade (not a euphemism).  Join us aboard the Gay Pirate Podcast as we talk about Our Flag Means Death season 1, episode 4, Discomfort...
