Joe, having been rendered unconscious, was blissfully unaware of the scene that played out in front of him. Nancy remained focused and refused to tell who she worked for (which was no one) even when he made threats against Joe's fair-haired life.

"You'll never get me to tell you anything!" Nancy cried out heroically.

"Is that so? I happen to know everything about you even though I've never met you before. You care a great deal about this boy here. It would be unfortunate if something were to happen to your sweetheart," the mysterious stranger announced ominously.

"What! We aren't sweethearts," Nancy declared, clearly focused on the most important part of his threat, "I'm in love with Fra…Ned. Ned. He's only one I can like…err, the only one for me."

"You clearly seem to be telling the truth, so I think I'll go take a walk on the deck because I know that you can't possibly escape from those chairs and even in the very unlikely event that you did we are all the way out here at sea. Hahaha," he laughed forgetting that they somehow ended up on his ship while he was in the middle of the ocean.

As soon as he left Nancy began kicking Joe to wake him up. This worked and they discussed escape strategies. Joe felt that they should use the saw nailed loosely to the wall to break free while Nancy preferred the more subtle strategy of breaking their chairs against the wall. In the end they decided to just wiggle out of their bonds because it turned out that the seafaring bad guy didn't know how to tie knots properly. People who spend a lot of time around boats rarely acquire that skill.

Meanwhile Frank landed the seaplane as gently as he could onto the water. When he opened the door and looked out he saw the boat far out in the distance.

I'll never get there now, he thought.

There had to be some way to catch up to them. He looked at the water below and was just calculating if he could possibly catch up by swimming when he saw a miracle. A small motorboat was headed his way. Frank quickly flagged it down. When it came to a stop he was surprised.

"Chet! Bess! George! What are you all doing here?"

Chet explained, "It was a really nice day so we decided to rent a boat from this really sketchy place on the docks. The owner was all 'I don't rent boats to gangsters' and then Bess was all 'Does my hair really look gangster today? Tell me the truth' and then George was all 'We came all the way out here to rent your boat even though we don't really have a reason to' and I was all…"

"The important thing," George interrupted, "is that we are here. Forget what Chet said about why. He never makes any sense."

"Right," Bess added.

"Wait, what are you doing out here Frank?" Chet asked the question that they probably should have already asked.

"Oh right!" Frank exclaimed, "Nancy and Joe jumped from this plane onto a boat captained by a villain and are surely in mortal peril at this point. There's a Scooby Snack in it for you all if you go with me to save them."

"Awesome!" The three friends chorused.

Frank climbed quickly onto their boat and they rushed to the rescue. Even now it could be too late to save their friends.
