Jake ordered Becky away with the baby and not to come back until she heard three shots. She complied, but was scared. She took food and weapons. She wanted to take it but thought, in case it was lucky, it could protect Jake more. Jack watched them sadly. He positioned his men in strategic parts of the boat. Fritz with his training went on one side of the boat to watch out for the Enemy to sneak on that way. Nora led another team on the other side. Scully was well enough to help. She insisted on fighting as well and got a weapon. Roger was happy to grab anything sharp for the cannons as extra ammo.
Jake was prepared for him this time and bombed the ship as much as he could. The Enemy swung aboard. Men made a circle around Jake to protect him. They all fought valiantly and showed their strengths. Allison hit with a frying pan in the galley, and Mimosa went to rescue her once. She proved to live up to her name. The Enemy searched as hard as he could for it, while fighting off Jake's crew. He had taken off his hat so no one would recognize him. Scully fought towards Nora and asked her the question then left her again to rescue Jake by running in the way, being stabbed in the arm. Meanwhile, Becky could hear the shots in the distance but was too afraid to look back. The baby was crying but only because he had lost his new toy in his blanket.
Scully was losing strength soon and Nora helped him. The Enemy searched Jake's cabin, opening drawers. Jake saw him there and ran after him. They fought, and in the process, the Enemy found it in a hollowed part underneath the drawer of the dresser. Jake struggled to get it back. The fight took them outside, near the ship's edge. It got knocked over the side. After watching it splash down, the Enemy was furious. Jake fought, but his sword was knocked out of his hand. She came to his rescue and stabbed the Enemy right in the heart. He fell dead over the side of the ship with it.
When the few left of the Enemy's men saw he was dead, they jumped over the side of the ship. Jake sailed away from them and fired three shots. They decided to leave it be. It belonged down there. All were safely reunited, and Scully gave Nora a token he had saved since the Cabinet. Jake gathered all dead: enemies, friends, and the one who died from wounds, and gave them a seaman's funeral. The enemies were dumped at the other side of the ship. The next day he performed another ceremony. They sailed to France one last time for final reconciliation then sailed home. She lived in a house near Jake.
