As the Providence continues across the waves, Cook watches as Rina and Nala struggle with one of the sails. When he offers advice, Nala points out that he’s not the captain. When Cook notices that Anwar is watching, he tells the doctor to go to work as well, telling them to cooperate. Sinbad finally takes pity on them and helps them get the sail up. When they improperly tie it off, Cook storms up, yanks the knot loose, and warns them that their life could depend on tying the sail off. Gunnar comes over and lifts the spar for them, and Cook tells them to start again.
The ship soon arrives at a horseshoe-shaped bay and Anwar goes over the sea charts and tries to find their position. Cook serves a meal and Nala says that they must find a decent-sized port so that they can go their own ways. Sinbad questions whether she should be giving them orders, while Rina points out that they have nothing in common. Anwar and Sinbad are eager to explore the freedom they now have, but Gunnar agrees with Nala and Rina. Cook tells them that they have to go ashore for fresh water and supplies, and Anwar determines that they’re at the island of Sind. The population was laid to waste and the island is now only populated by wolves. Nervous at the prospect of going on land because of the curse, Sinbad fingers his necklace.
On the cliffs overlooking the bay, a gray-faced child sees the ship and then runs off into a cave.
At Basra, Akbari and Taryn meet with the Emir, who is contemplating an architectural model of the modern city that he plans to leave as his legacy. Akbari reminds his brother that Sinbad has escaped and the Emir tells him to unleash the palace guards and find someone who knows where Sinbad has fled. Taryn advises the use of magic but the Emir refuses and orders his guard to remove her. She snarls at the guard and leaves on her own. Once they’re alone, the Emir warns Akbari that the dark arts eat at a man’s soul. He assures his brother that all that can humanly be done will be done to find Sinbad.
Akbari goes after Taryn and asks her to use the dark arts to find Sinbad. She agrees but admits that the Emir was right and that they can be dangerous. The noble refuses to hear anything that will interfere with his plans and tells Taryn to do whatever is needed. However, once Akbari leaves, Taryn smiles in satisfaction.
That night, everyone aboard Providence sleeps. Sinbad wakes up when someone boards the ship. Belowdecks, Nala wakes up and draws her dagger when she sees a feral boy eating her food. When she realizes that he’s terrified, Nala lowers her knife but the boy draws his own knife, smiling, and threatens to cut her throat if she moves. Meanwhile, Sinbad investigates the sound that he heard and sees the girl that was observing the ship earlier. Before Sinbad can grab her, another native clubs him unconscious.
Anwar: Look, this is an adventure. Like in a book, don’t you think?
Rina: We have nothing in common.
Cook: We all survived the storm.
Gunnar: She is right. We all travel different paths.
Sinbad: Look. What happened to your sense of adventure, hmm? That, my friends, is freedom!
Gunnar: Adventure is best left in books.
