| This tale begins with three runaways, fleeing from a ship in the harbor, two slaves, a brother and a sister, and the wife of Captain Charles Wentworth, Camilla. Wentworth fires on, and hits, the young woman, and the two are forced to leave her behind. They make their way to safety at the Alvarado hacienda, where they hide in the barn. | |||

| Captain Wentworth
shows up in Montoya's garden, interrupting lunch, to complain that his
wife has been kidnapped by one of his slaves, and what is Montoya going
to do about it.
Finish my lunch, Captain, says Montoya after a discourse on the English and the Spanish not being on such friendly terms anyway, and besides, this is his domain and he will attend to things in his own good time, but the bribe was a nice thought, thank you so much. He is soon checking on his horse, whom the good Dr. Helm is tending. I won't say anything about this scene except that it reflects badly, both on Montoya's and Helm's knowledge about horses or even their ability to think logically. It reflects even less well on the writers themselves. It is supposed to be a "Hey, Jim, I'm only a (human) doctor" kind of scene, but it's just more stupid than a "Timmy's in the well" trick. Anyway, Montoya tells the doctor he is sending him a patient. The woman who was shot on the beach, Helm asks. No, Captain Wentworth. What's wrong with him? asks Helm. "You mean besides being English?"
Montoya quips.

| Dr. Helm spends
a busy day, lancing the Captain's boil, tending to the wounded slave and
getting into all kinds of trouble when he interferes between the captain
and his slave, who has returned to save his sister. Into the drink with
the doctor after a well-placed pistol whip. Glug.
But the Queen has followed the slave back to the boat and is on hand to rescue Robert. Again.
