S17.E11: Shipbreakers

[thewhiteowl]

As seawater floods in, Wild Bill's crew scrambles to locate a hole in the Summer Bay's hull. Johnathan faces a fire on the Time Bandit and a catastrophic hydraulic failure forces Jake to send his chief engineer 25 feet above the Saga's rolling deck.

I am totally confused by the timing of the TB and the CM pots.  It appeared that there was very little soak time, yet the pots harvested by the CM at the end of the show were super full.  Did Johnathan put a bunch of them in the water much earlier, finishing the job at the last minute?  It was also entirely weird that the TB was bringing in massive pots for themselves, yet there was a completely ho hum reaction by that crew, and JB himself.  Just odd all the way around the TB in this ep.

If Bill needed "550" cod and he just had all that expensive work done to refit the block, would he not need a bunch more cod to "allow" him to go opilio hunting? 

Nice to finally see Jake A. and his exploits.  Unusual for him to have such smooth sailing over consecutive seasons.  Good on him.
