Question cause I haven't seen anyone else talk about this: where is Stede's bathroom? When Ed freaks out he scoots into the auxiliary closet. Then next we see him he's in the bathtub. Is his bathroom in the closet? Cause like, I can't imagine a man having a panic attack would come out of the closet (hehe), walk across a room full of people, and go down the hall to another room.

Which leads to another question: how is the auxiliary closet a secret?? Wouldn't he need help filling up the tub? I know the show's a bit anachronistic, but I doubt Stede invented plumbing/water heaters 2 centuries early.

Babe you are so valid for this, but I'm pretty sure the Revenge is about as nonsensical as Hogwarts

Although I believe I saw a post somewhere that had made a floorplan for the ship so if anyone knows what I'm talking about please feel free to link that post lmao

EDIT: Thank you @pickle92 bless you! Here’s the post with the floorplan

This post does seem to put the bathroom in a separate room though

But to answer your question, in ep6 you are correct, Ed enters the auxiliary closet

(You can barely fucking tell in this screenshot but it's correct)

In ep4 however, it does seem like the bathroom and closet might be in the same room, cause you can kind of see the sink behind Stede? (idk if that’s a sink actually but it does seem like the bathroom is behind Stede)

The bathtub would be hiding behind the wall I suppose.

You add an interesting point with Stede needing to tell people about the bathtub and therefore the auxiliary closet. I briefly thought he could have told Lucius, but then Lucius would have definitely used that hiding spot in episode 2 & 3 when Jim was hunting him down - so that means Stede must be filling up that bathtub on his own I guess... I somehow feel like it's very out of character for Stede to fill up his own bathtub, but I suppose he values his secret closet enough? Unless he is somehow able to section off the closet with a sliding door or something, so it just looks like a bathroom? Much to think about

I have another question though. In ep4 Stede has to dramatically open the auxiliary closet with his little gay statue, but in ep6 Ed just pushes the door open no problem. Which means the statue really serves no purpose other than dramatic effect. They're so perfect for each other honestly
