To celebrate 50 episodes of Podcasts of the Caribbean, Justin covers a plethora of forgotten, weird, and cancelled Pirates of the Caribbean media. We cover the 2006 Jack Sparrow Look-Alike Contest put on by the toy company Zizzle, the cancelled animated Swashbucklers show, a mysterious piece of merchandise, the cancelled video game Armada of the Damned, and the cancelled graphic novel Six Sea Shanties, along with the unwritten sequel to The Price of Freedom, and the cancelled book The Secret Diary of Ragetti. Justin also reads through the only comic from Six Sea Shanties that saw the light of day, Strangers Bearing Gifts.

In this episode, we finish the journey through The Price of Freedom by A.C. Crispin. The Wicked Wench finally arrives at Zerzura, with La Vipere in tow. Amenirdis and Shabako are finally home, and Jack prepares himself for the journey into the labyrinth. Together with Amenirdis and Christophe, the three of them venture inside, and face the numerous perils before reaching the Heart of Zerzura. Jack fools Christophe and plans to finally get his revenge against the rogue. Amenirdis gives Jack two gifts, and one will become an iconic piece of Jack's costume. After the Wicked Wench leaves Zerzura, Jack is visited by Christophe, now deposed as captain, and the two of them square off once and for all. Jack sails the Wicked Wench back to Calabar, and Cutler Beckett is outraged at Jack's report. So he seeks to humble Jack by having him transport a load of slaves to Lord Penwallow's plantation. Jack reluctantly accepts, but on the voyage, Jack knows he cannot do it. So he frees them, but is caught before he can get away. With Beckett outraged at losing his superior's respect, he sets out to punish Jack once and for all, with a brand of the letter "P" and the idea of setting Jack's beautiful Wench ablaze, all while having Jack watch. In an emotional moment, Jack makes a choice that will forever affect his life.

In this episode, we continue to cover The Price of Freedom by A.C. Crispin. This episode covers Chapters 10-14. Back in Shipwreck Cove, Barbossa informs Jack that the second rogue has been uncovered, and it happens to be one of Jack's closest friends. Jack doesn't believe its true, so he frees Christophe from the dungeons, before he is betrayed and press ganged onto La Vipere. In the present day, Jack discovers Ayisha's true appearance, and we find out that Pharaoh Taharka had died in Jack's arms when he was serving aboard La Vipere. Jack and Ayisha make a plan to rescue Prince Shabako, which has Jack impersonating Penwallow's son to do so. Borya Palachnik hunts down Jack, and Ayisha is the one who saves everyone aboard the Wicked Wench. After another encounter with Venganza and Esmeralda, Jack finds Christophe and makes an uneasy alliance with him as they begin to finally sail to Zerzura.
