Episode 1 spoilers…
I think it was really a loyalty test to Billy. Flint had just come up with that plan prior to the sword fight after finding the feather and realizing it was someone on the crew that took the feather. Kind of a risk leaving it up to Billy to be loyal but maybe he knew he already had Billy in his pocket since Billy knew the Urca de Lima story now.
Also, you kind of factor in the Treasure Island aspect of it. The show isn’t a tellling of the book but it’s obviously got characters from it. But in the book Flint stuck terror in people just based off his name. Maybe Billy already had some fear there that influenced his decision.

Completed I. Second viewing. Question: Why does Billy lie about the paper at the end of the episode? I’ve never quite understood his motive there.

So is the discussion starting already, or are we planning on starting E1-3 discussion next week? I thought it was three episodes were assigned for this week and be ready to discuss next week.
