Robinson awakes groggy after fainting but is elated to see his wife Susannah, who explains the ship she came on can carry them home to England. They see Friday is missing and probably wounded. Conversing while searching for him, Robinson's memory returns, arousing the grim realization she can't be real, unlike the danger at least Friday is in. It turns out to be an incurable madman, surviving pirate Nugent, who wants both to exact revenge in them and enslave them to built a palace for their tyrannically abusive 'liege'.
