Steps of Knowledge

One of the youngest, yet boldest sea captains of the 1800s was captain John Greenwood. At only 21, he became captain of his own ship and set off on his first voyage. But soon, he and his men were overcome by Joseph Wheeland, the most treacherous pirate on the bounding mane. Greenwood’s crew was terrified, but Greenwood never lost his nerve.

"Take the ship, but let my men go free!"

"Free? Har! See this?"

And he took out his dreaded hornpipe.

"You’ll all be dancing the last hornpipe jig from the yardarm by morning. Take em below!"

The pirates towed the ship in the midst of their pirate fleet, and only Wheeland and three mates stayed aboard with Greenwood to count their booty.

"Toss that crate over there, ya lubbers. Captain, what cargo are you carrying?"

"I can’t remember, but I've got a list if you'll take me to the cabin."

As the greedy pirates gathered around the list, Greenwood backed away and locked them in the cabin. He threw the mate on deck overboard. The pirates on the surrounding ships began firing on him, but Greenwood ran through the whizzing musket balls, cut the ship free, and sailed away before they could stop him. Joseph Wheeland went down with his ship, but his hornpipe washed ashore at the Temple.

Temple Games

The Green Monkeys are Jessica, who wants to be an actress and collects cow-related stuff, and Jarrid, who is an actor and also loves to draw. The Purple Parrots are Mary, who does cheerleading, and Brent, who collects bags and enjoys country music.

Giant Sacks of Cargo (Rolling Foam Boulders)[]

With the Pirate Captain locked in the cabin, John Greenwood rolled a sack of cargo at the other mates on deck and knocked them overboard; between Brent and Jarrid were giant sacks of cargo, and behind them were four pirates. When Kirk gave the signal, both boys would push the cargo to knock out the pirates while staying in their designated zone; whoever knocked out all four pirates within 60 seconds would win. Brent got all four down with 31 seconds remaining, awarding him a half-Pendant.

Barnacle Removal (Oversized Table)[]

To keep a vessel shipshape, the crew had to swim under a hole and pull off the barnacles; fortunately for Jessica and Mary, their ship was in dry dock. When Kirk gave the signal, each girl would crawl out, grab a barnacle and return to drop it in their bin; whoever got the most barnacles within 60 seconds would win. Jessica and Mary tied with four barnacles in their bins, giving the former a half-Pendant, and the latter a full Pendant.

Sinking Enemy Fleet (Swinging Sacks)[]

Captain John Greenwood had to fight his way out of the pirate fleet by crashing through Joe Wheland's ships. The teams would defeat a fleet just like Greenwood did. One partner was suspended from a crow's nest in a sack When Kirk gave the signal, the boys would swing them to sink the ship by knocking it over, and whoever sank all three within 60 seconds would win. The Green Monkeys finished the job with 40 seconds remaining, sending them to Olmec's Temple with 1½ pendants.

Temple Run

Jessica went first and headed up to The Crypt. After pulling only one book from the skeleton, she was able to quickly advance over to The Pit of the Pendulum. After knocking over the column, she got down and tried to climb up but changed her mind and headed to the Tomb of the Headless Kings instead. After quickly finding the skull and placing it on the proper king, she quickly climbs up to the Chamber of the Sacred Markers, where she encounters the first temple guard after completing the objective. Jessica then heads up to the King Storeroom and finds the key in the second pot she smashes. She then heads down to the Room of the Ancient Warriors but unfortunately is taken out of the temple after trying the middle armor. (Which opened up the door to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey)

With a 1:32 left on the clock, Jarrid quickly rushed into the temple and was able to get to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey within a minute left on the clock. He completes the objective within 15 seconds and was about to go into the Room of the Secret Password. But he quickly changes his mind after discovering the door leading to the Quicksand Bog from the Shrine was opened. He quickly grabs the hornpipe with 36 seconds left on the clock and quickly climbs back up the ladder and sprints out of the temple with 14 seconds left to spare.

Notes

  • In the Steps of Knowledge, instead of saying "that is correct" or "incorrect" on a question, Olmec responds, "Close enough for Olmec".
  • This was the last episode where a team of Green Monkeys attempted to retrieve an artifact placed in the bottom corner room.
  • When both Jessica and Jarrid were climbing the central shaft, both columns were down. This indicates that the door connecting the Pit of the Pendulum to the King's Storeroom was supposed to open but did not.
  • This was the fourth and final episode where a contestant was able to retrieve an artifact placed in the bottom corner room. The first three episodes were Galileo's Cannonball, The Lucky Medallion of Atocha, and The Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta.
  • This was the second of three episodes where a team scales the Central Shaft and was able to win the Grand Prize. The first episode was The Collar of Davy Crockett and the third was The Jeweled Scabbard of Sforza.
