The episode opens with Billie talking on a phone to Rafael while he is in prison. Billie tells Rafael that he is responsible for the death of her brother Sebastian.

Answer: Caligula

The auctioneer tells Billie that there is no journal written by Malinche. However, the auctioneer trades a journal of Cortes that he indicates had passages written by Malinche in it. In exchange, Billie gives the auctioneer a mosaic from the Roman emperor Caligula that was thought to have been lost. Caligula was the third Roman emperor ruling from 37-41 CE.

Riley Poole walks off a jet and by cell phone tells his friend and former star of the "National Treasure" films Benjamin Franklin Gates that he has finally gotten his own streaming show.

Answer: Malinche

In the video Manuela Valenzuela is speaking to a panel of experts about lost Mesoamerican treasure. She tells the panel that rather than being a traitor as she is commonly depicted, Malinche was a hero and double agent who was working for the Aztecs while she was an interpreter for the Spanish under Cortez. Referred to as 'La Malinche', she was a woman of Nahua descent who helped spy and smuggle treasure away from the Spanish. The panel dismisses her theories and they tell her there is no lost treasure and they reiterate their thoughts that Malinche was a traitor. Later in the video, Jess sees her father dancing with her mother and she is filled with both happiness and sadness as it was the first time she had seen a video with her father in it.

Answer: USS Kidd

Billie wants to meet Jess at the loading dock at the Baton Rouge Port but Jess contends that the spot is too private. Jess recommends instead that they meet at the museum gift shop for the USS Kidd which is moored in Baton Rouge. In the past Jess worked at the USS Kidd gift shop and she knew there'd be a security guard on site. Although the USS Kidd was called the 'Pirate of the Pacific', it was not named after the pirate Captain William Kidd but rather after Rear Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd, Sr. who died while aboard the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941.

Answer: Church

The first episode explains that there were three relics, one each for the Aztec, Maya and Inca civilizations that were lost. These relics contain clues as to the location of Montezuma's treasure. A man named Rafael is shown dressed up as a nun in a church and he finds/steals the Aztec relic from it. Tragically, Rafael is presumed dead after his house burns down when the men attack him. Luckily his wife, Manuela, and his daughter, Jess, are able to escape.

Answer: Wooden poles

The water of the Devil's Swamp is too shallow to use a motor so the boats have to be propelled by pushing off the ground with wooden poles. Both Billie's boat that transported Jess and Rafael against their will and the boat that Ethan and Liam used were propelled by the wooden poles. From personal experience, I've found that using oars to paddle through water is faster than pushing off the ground with poles.

Answer: Her mom liked to sew.

When Agent Ross tells Tasha her name is Hannah Betsy Ross, Tasha responds "really, Betsy Ross"? Agent Ross laughs along and tells Tasha that her mom liked to sew. Betsy Ross was born in 1752 and she is often credited with convincing George Washington to adopt a five-pointed 13-star design for the United States flag in 1776. Although Betsy Ross being the first to design the U.S. flag is disputed, it is documented that she designed flags for over 50 years after the American Revolutionary War.

Answer: Further

Ethan visits Agent Ross to tell her that he has known Jess for years and he knows her character and that she wouldn't commit murder. However, Agent Ross tells Ethan that the FBI has analyzed the recording and has determined it is genuine. When Ethan hears the recording and the use of the word 'further', he knows that it is not really Jess's voice but some kind of program mimicking her voice. Ethan explains that people of British heritage like Billie use the word further whereas Jess would never use the word further but instead would use the word farther. Interestingly, later in the episode Billie meets Agent Ross and she tells her "I hope your next lead doesn't take you even further away from home".
