OW: The city of port royals. Miss Elizabeth goes throughout her servant filled life. Will is a simple blacksmith
Call: The Black Pearl wants the gold medallion, which Elizabeth happens to have. They capture her and Will is determined to save her.
Refusal: Will goes to the governor and demands they save her. Commodore Norrington decides he's in charge and says he doesn't want the help of a blacksmith. "This is not the time for rash actions."
Mentor: Will reverts to Jack Sparrow. He springs him from jail with his agreement to help Will find Elizabeth.
Threshold: Once Jack is free from jail he says, "This girl, how far would you be willing to go to save her?" "I'd die for her!" "Good. No worries then." They set off to steal a ship.
Tests, Allies, Enemies: Will isn't sure if Jack is on his side or not. He knew there was something strange about their deal in the jail cell. "It was only after you learned my name that you agreed." They encounter storms on the water and struggle to find a "well-bodied crew". Meanwhile the Commodore is pissed that Turner and Sparrow stole their ship.
Approach: They finally reach the cave where the Black Pearl has stopped. Will and Jack go inside to rescue Elizabeth. Will decides it's time to take control and knocks Jack out with an oar. "Sorry Jack, but I'm not going to be your leverage." He rescues Elizabeth and leaves Jack behind.
Ordeal: A huge sea fight. The Black Pearl versus The Intercepter. Barbossa's crew wins and drop Jack and Elizabeth off on the forsaken island. Will is left captive by the immortal pirates. Luckily Elizabeth's lover finds her and Jack and she bribes him "as a wedding gift" to help her save Will. Another fight breaks out between the two. Barbossa, Jack, and Will are all inside the cave caught up in an ongoing fued.
Reward: Jack took a coin earlier on, which he tosses over to Will. He then throws it in the chest and the pirates are no longer undefeatable! Finally Jack gets to use his one shot on Barbossa.
The Road Back: Jack's crew took off with his ship, and now that the battle is over they sail back to The Intercepter. The journey home is bitter sweet. Jack is busted and Elizabeth is set to marry Norrington.
