I had a dream that the first episode of Our Flag Means Death season 2 came out, and I still remembered the final few scenes quite vividly when I woke up. I can’t bear being the only person to experience this, so here it is in script format:
IZZY HANDS, dressed as Bert from Mary Poppins with his collection of instruments, runs desperately through the woods until he reaches EDWARD TEACH, who is in a line of people climbing a grassy hill. Has he joined a cult? That's the vibe.
Ed sighs and steps out of the line and away from the path to face Izzy. Behind him, the procession continues.
IZZY: Do you remember the day I halted your wedding, intending to claim your virginity for myself?
The moment is very intense. Both look pained. Edward looks down at the two large stone rings he is wearing, one on each hand. These are clearly Very Significant.
IZZY: But you refused me. It was on that day we made our bargain.
Dramatically, he holds up A CATFISH. We zoom in on its face...
... before entering a flashback. A much younger Ed with a Davy Jones style tentacle beard (but with a few strands of regular hair mixed in - this is understood to indicate his youth) stands with Izzy in a kitchen. Izzy is his usual canon age.
EDWARD: I can't believe you thought I was a virgin!
EDWARD: So, do genies just crash people's weddings at random, or?
Ed playfully climbs onto the counter and sits on a kitchen scale.
IZZY: How much do you weigh?
EDWARD, looking at the digital display: Dunno. I can't read.
Izzy smiles, utterly charmed. As are we all. What a delightful young rapscallion!
Cut to: STEDE BONNET, who has not previously appeared in the episode, pulls himself up onto the seaside cliff he has been climbing and stands heroically, looking out at the ocean. His face is in shadow, but he looks determined. He is wearing a wizard hat. Does this mean that he, not Blackbeard, is the chosen one Izzy must train? Perhaps.
Thank you for sharing my burden.
