Summary:

“A hushed silence follows him through town, careful eyes bearing witness as their nightmares manifest before them, as women hide behind doors with their children. She knows when he’s arrived not from the sound of his crutch on old floorboards or the guard’s coded knock, but the way the tavern goes still first.” 

John Silver returns to Nassau. Set roughly halfway between Black Sails and Treasure Island.

Summary:

“The bay isn’t visible from the rebel encampment, but he faces it as surely as a compass points north. Up on the fort, Flint stands with his back straight and his shoulders set, his hands folded neatly behind him. He stands there as though, if he simply waits long enough, if he hopes hard enough, the sea will return John Silver to him.”

Madi and Flint have a discussion about grief after losing John Silver. Set directly after 4x01.
