## Plot

### Flashback

In Florida, Pippa collects a container of drugs and brings it onboard the Sacramentum in which she and the rest of the entertainers sell its contents to other crew members.

### Present Day

Two days have passed since Sophia's attack and Sophia informs Jamie that a detective is on the way. Karen announces the captain's ball and a fresh-faced boy collapse from a drug overdose, prompting Karen to carry out a contraband search. This in turn prompts Cormac to leave Jamie's cabin but not before being caught by Sam.

Jamie and Olly meet up again, as the latter tends to the wounds on Jamie's tattoo. They start making out as Beaker and two other officers carry out a contraband search in Olly's cabin. Meanwhile, Vivian delivers room service to a first class suite belonging to Lily and her family. Cormac tries keeps a low profile but ends up getting sotted by Rosie.

During the contraband search, Jamie spots the balaclava belonging to Sophia's attacker. He sneaks it into his trousers when no one is looking and promises to meet up again with Olly later. Detective Martinez arrives on board and starts questioning Henry about Danny's death. Jamie reports his finding to Vivian, whilst Rosie confronts Cormac regarding their break-up.

Jamie and Vivian go to see Martinez suggesting Olly may have been responsible for Danny's death. They persuade her to go see his body as Jamie promises to persuade Sophia to report Olly. Sophia refuses and explains to the pair about the drug dealing between the officers and the Filipinos. She tells Jamie and Vivian that if she comes forward then Beaker will pin all the blame on her. Jamie suggest she get rid of the stash and offers to do it himself if Sophia goes to the police. Whilst Martinez goes to get a look at Olly, Jamie changes into all black (including Olly's balaclava) and tells Sophia to meet up in the crew bathroom in an hour.

The captain's ball commences and Martinez asks Henry to see Danny's body. After seeing Lily again, and flirting with her, Vivian spots Cormac. Before being caught out by Sam again, she scolds him for leaving Jamie's cabin, and hides him in a wardrobe in the dressing room before anyone else can see him. Sophia arrives with the rest of the entertainers and tells Vivian she's not going through with the deal. Henry shows Martinez Danny's body and explains that he lied about the cause of Danny's death so as not to cause mass panic across the ship whilst the investigation was ongoing. Martinez accepts an $85,000 US bribe so as to stay quiet. Sam shows up at the dressing room and he and Sophia have sex whilst Cormac watches on still locked in the wardrobe.

Jamie raids a locker and waits for Sophia to show up. When she's a no-show he flushes all the drugs down a toilet but is caught out by Olly. Olly admits that he only intended to scare Sophia, but he didn't kill Danny. He decides to hand himself him when Jamie asks to see he head of the Mafia, The Baby, to back up his story. Confused, Olly tells him that The Baby is not in charge as Dolce shows up revealing herself as the head of the Mafia. She is about to break Jamie's knuckles with a hammer but Olly stops her, telling her Jamie didn't rat about the drugs, and that the police are investigating Danny's death. Dolce confirms Olly's story to be true and tells the pair Martinez is leaving.

Rosie goes for a sit-down in the dressing room when she hears Cormac calling for her in the wardrobe. He admits all his lies but confirms his love for Rosie was always true. Rosie unlocks the wardrobe and she and Cormac embrace in a hug. Jamie catches up with Martinez who is wheeling Danny's body away. He explains that he was wrong about Olly killing Danny and reveals his true identify as Pippa's brother; the girl who was friends with Danny and Sophia before disappearing. She advices him not to sail further than he can row back and leaves.

Vivian once again meets up with Lily and they share a kiss under the midnight fireworks. Lauren and Jerome clean up the dishes as Jerome offers to finish the rest allowing Lauren to go to bed. After she leaves an unseen person shoves a bag over Jerome's head. Jamie and Vivian catch up with Cormac and Rosie, who is now in on the investigation, as Cormac confirms Sam as the officer with the fish tattoo. Jerome wakes up to find himself in a dimly-lit room. He tries to find a way out but sees a hooded figure pursuing him. He tries hiding behind hanging sheets of plastic but get impaled through the eye by a harpoon and collapses to his death as an unseen assassin drags his body away.
