With Tia's directions, the Pearl was able to track Jack to this small mountainous island. They saw the cove where the ship was anchored and anchored the Pearl on the other side of the island hidden away. Mr. Gibbs accompanied by Jess, Elizabeth and Tia made ready to go ashore.
The small party carefully made their way the jungle. Their hope was to find Jack and Will and rescue them but they knew what they were up against so the plan was to scout everything out and return to the Pearl to come up with a plan to defeat Mami Utai once and for all. The group reached one of the mountains and traveled around the base of the mountain in the direction of where the ship was anchored. In the dense vegetation, they were under cover and were not easily seen. They could see a clearing up ahead of them with movement going on. They snuck up and hide as they observed the activities.
The group looked all around trying to notice every little thing. While Jess looked to Mr. Gibbs and pointed out some of the guards, she felt Elizabeth grab her arm. She turned to look at Elizabeth and then to where Elizabeth was pointing – it was Jack he was chained to the entrance of a cave and from the look of it he was not doing well. He looked as if he had been beaten. Jess started to stand and felt Tia's hand on her shoulder pushing her to stay in place. Jess' eyes pleaded with Tia to let her go but as she realized it would not probably help Jack, she hung her head. A few tears escaped her eyes then the sorrow she felt quickly turned to anger. They observed all until dark but they still had not seen Will. The group made their way quickly and quietly back to the Pearl.
On board the Pearl the group met in the Captain's quarters to discuss the plan for rescue. Elizabeth paced around the room. "We've still not seen Will. What if something has already happened to him? Tia you said that he was hidden from you once again – is he under her control again?"
"Aye, 'e may be already but not necessarily for long," Tia said with a smile.
"Tia what are you talking about," Jess asked.
"Well, when I brought William back – I added a little somethin' to the potion just in case."
"Tia what are you talking about," Elizabeth stopped pacing and asked.
"I was 'fraid someone like Mami would try again so I gave 'im something to slowly stop the control over 'im."
"Will will come out of this spell on his own," Gibbs smiled.
"Jes – but we need to give time for it to work," Tia explained. "Should not be more than a couple of more days at the most."
The group decided to go back and watch to make sure nothing had changed or hopefully they would see Will and see when Mami's hold over him was dissolved. They would take a few more men just in case they needed to act quickly and more men would join them in another day.
