"I mean, we know this is some sort of translation key, right?" Charlotte asks. Pope and Cleo explained to her that while the others were at the party, they were able to find something in Pope's family documents that would help them find El Dorado.

"I don't get it. I mean, look." She says standing up and walking over to Cleo and Pope, "This is the sun, and that's the glyph for sun, and this is gold, and that's the glyph for gold, but it's not like a dictionary. Don't you get the feeling like if you were to put it together in the right order, it'd mean something specific?"

"Wait a second." Pope says taking the paper from her, "I've seen this somewhere before. Sun. Sun, sun, sun, sun."

"You know the part that I can't understand?" Cleo says, "This man had one opportunity to send a letter to his daughter, and he sends this mishmash? Think about it. A translation of Kalinago? There must've been a reason."

"It's inheritance." Pope says, "Cleo, that's it. He wanted her to find El Dorado." Charlotte smiles as the two hug. Pope pulls away slowly before clearing his throat, "Um, we gotta check this out."

"Yeah, we should do that." Cleo says

"I think I know exactly where we need to go."

Estrella got a text from Pope telling her to meet at The Wreck. She figured it may have something to do with El Dorado since Pope mentioned he and Cleo were searching for more information. As Estrella approaches the door, she turns toward the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm gonna go meet with Pope. I'll be back." She says quickly

"Wait." Pamela says. Estrella turns with a sigh, "You're meeting with Pope?"

"Yes."

"Not JJ or John B."

Estrella groans, "Mom."

"I'm serious, Estrella."

"Yes, I'm meeting with Pope. I haven't seen or heard from John B and JJ since yesterday."

Pamela eyes her before nodding, "Be back tonight."

"I will." Estrella says before opening the door and heading out

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Carrera." Pope says as they stand outside of the restaurant door

"Uh, I'm gonna get that." Kie says standing up

"Kiara." Anna says, "Come back."

"Guys, what's up?" Kie says leading them out, "Now is not a good time. My parents are on a literal warpath about my future."

"This'll only take a second." Pope says

"Hey." Estrella calls out. The teens turn as she stops at the bottom of the steps, "What's up?"

"Do you still have that picture you took at Singh's?" Pope asks coming down the steps, "The one of the painting?"

"Yeah, obviously." She says pulling out her phone

"Thank you." He says snatching the phone

"That was rude." Estrella says as they walk over to a table outside, "What are you even looking for?"

"Something Cleo found, actually."

"Okay." She says as she standing beside him as he sits at the table

"Here it is. It's a letter Denmark Tanny wrote to his daughter." Pope says handing her the paper and going back to her phone

"We found it last night. Family heirlooms and thingums." Cleo smiles. Estrella smiles down at her knowingly.

"We think we found a connection to the idol." Pope says as Estrella passes the paper back to Pope and sits beside him, "Look, check this out. See the king sun glyph here?"

"Yeah." Kie says

"It matches the one in the painting at Singh's house."

"Couldn't that mean it's pretty common?" Estrella asks

"Actually, no." He says, "These glyphs are Kalinago, which has never been deciphered."

Estrella raises her brows, "Never?"

"Never." Cleo says

"Never ever." Pope says shaking his head, "Some people believe that the captain of the San Jose actually found somebody who knew how to translate these glyphs because he found El Dorado."

"The priest that talked to Denmark Tanny, that was on the Royal Merchant." Kie says

"Exactly." He says, "Every glyph that is in this letter is in the artifact. This isn't just some random Rosetta stone for Kalinago. This... this is a direct translation key for the idol!"

"And we can use this to save Big John." Charlotte says

"Guys, we have to get this to John B, like, yesterday." Estrella says as they stand up

"Hey!" Mike calls out, "Where you going?"

"Uh, to the break." Kie says, "We're gonna go check out the surf. Can we finish this later?"

Mike looks over at Estrella before looking back at Kie, "Yeah. Have fun."

"Yeah." Kie nods before the teens rush off

Hours had passed by before the Pogues met up. Sarah texted everyone to meet at the Chateau and while they didn't have much of an idea why, they did. Estrella was surprised to see JJ there, but didn't make a big deal over it. Although as they stood there, everyone could feel the tension between them.

"Hey, thanks for waiting." Sarah says walking out into the backyard, "Um... Look who decided to come home."

"Hey." Kie says as John B walks out

"Welcome back." Estrella chuckles

"Whoa!" Pope says, "Good to see you, man."

"You gotta be kidding me." JJ mutters with a smile

Sarah turns to them, "I have something I want to share with you guys. I can get us down to the Orinoco."

"Are you serious?" Pope says as Estrella frowns

"Yeah."

"Okay. And how's that gonna happen?" Cleo asks

"My dad's gonna let us use the plane."

"Ward?" JJ exclaims

"Your dad?" Pope and Estrella repeat

"Yep." Sarah nods

"Ah." JJ squints

"We lay low tonight, then wheels up first thing in the morning."

"Okay, that's a lot to process. Your dad actually helping us." Pope says

"I talked to him. He'll do it."

"So we trusting Ward now?" Cleo asks

"Trust Sarah." Kie says looking at the others before her eyes land on Charlotte

"All right." Cleo says as Charlotte nods

"That's all I needed to hear." Pope says

"Okay." Estrella shrugs

"But wait, I also just have one more thing to say. Um..." Sarah says, "Since we've gotten back from the island, I've done some things that I regret. A lot."

Estrella winces as she looks down. Kie clears her throat as the others look around. John B nods, "Yeah, uh... I feel... I feel like we've all done a thing or two that we regret."

John B looks toward JJ who scoffs under his breath. Estrella takes a deep breath crossing her arms.

"And I don't..." Sarah stammers, "Poguelandia, guys. It's all I've been able to think about. We were all together on that island, and it was a good thing, and I don't want to ruin a good thing. And I... I just wanna know, are we still all in? Are we still all together? Because I am."

"Yeah." Kie nods before pulling Sarah in for a hug. When they pull away, Estrella sighs dramatically.

"I mean, I guess if I have to be." She says before giving Sarah a hug

"We pon road!" Cleo says making the girls laugh as Sarah pulls her in

"I love you." She laughs before pulling away

"Still can't believe you got the plane." Pope says hugging her

"I know!"

"That's actually insane." He says as she pulls away and pulls Charlotte in for a hug. Kie smiles as Charlotte squeezes Sarah before letting go

"Let's go get Big John, all right?" JJ says as Pope wraps an arm around his shoulder and they all turn to John B, "What do you say there, shit bird?"

"I think this deserves a woogity." Pope says

"How long you gonna pretend you're not coming over here?" Estrella says

"You in?" JJ asks

"Come over here, funny man." Cleo says as John B smiles

"We don't bite." Kie laughs as they all group hug

"Now we woogity!" Pope says

"Oh, we're really doing this, aren't we?" John B asks

"We're doing it, man!"

"Mm-hmm." Sarah hums as Estrella giggles
