Episode list

After a season of relaxing in the Resort Town Formerly Known as Margaritaville, the Salt Baes gather to catch up over drinks in The Square Peggy tavern. Eoj shares about his love life, Trislyn shares about her roving gang of pickpocket children (Trislyn's Tots), and Dirty Hank is approached about a potential job offer for the group. Through the night shenanigans ensue, including a nipple-snatching Macaw, relationship drama for Eoj, loud sex for Addi and more. After breakfast at the Clam Chowder Shack, Trislyn discovers weird ice footprints leading toward the library where the group does battle, and reunites with Gwen who makes a job offer. They finally go to meet Pradeet and Sirda to hear about her job, but decide Gwen's offer was better.

The group goes to settle the terms of a job offer from Gwen, and with a mix of confusion, violence and condescension talk her around to a better deal than she offered originally. Gwen is unhappy when she leaves the bar, and on the way back to her ship Dirty Hank gives a "we're unlikely to murder you" pep talk. The next morning, discovering that Trislyn is still missing, Dirty Hank hears from Hadal who has apparently "taken her below" and will return her at whim. The group set sail, and come across a mysterious ship in an arcane fog, covered in sentient rats. They do battle, and after a tense stand off between Addi and Gwen, vote to sail away on the Horned Bitch while Gwen is investigating the rat ship, leaving her to die.

The crew sails away from where they marooned Gwen, continuing on to complete the job she hired them for - collecting 100 pounds of Wildsdong and smuggling it into Neverwinter. On the archipelago where the flowers grow, they meet Jewel on the Far Coast, a Tabaxi who has been stranded there for three weeks since the smuggling ship she stowed away on anchored and seem disinclined to leave. The group gathers the goods, accidentally discover the hallucinogenic side effects, thwart an attempt by the smugglers to steal their haul, and arrive at Neverwinter to meet their buyer - Lord Neverember.

Settling the deal with Lord Neverember for their delivery of Wildsong, the group accepts his offer to stay at Castle Never - an offer that his valet later clarifies was definitely intended as a bribe to stay quiet about the Lord buying illicit drugs. On their way into the castle, the group meets Taran Q'Vore, who is disgusted by Dirty Hank's smell and uncleanliness, so Neverember's valet Golmar hustles them away to their rooms to bathe and dress in tailored finery before attending the evening banquet. Before dinner starts, Q'Vore overhears guests plotting, and the coup is sprung as a waiter serves poisoned food to Neverember and other plotters try to poison everyone in the party. Q'Vore flies Neverember to safety as the Baes - with a little help from Hadal - murder most of the usurpers.

Eoj rejoins the crew at Castle Never. Over breakfast, the Marquis Baselfort drops a note in Trislynn's pocket from the Tiefling twins Trislynn met the night before suggesting the crew have earned a break at nearby spa and hot springs, Boaz' pool. The twins had passes to spend time there themselves but were called away on business, and leave them for Trislynn and the crew to use. Addi is still feeling unwell, presumably from the previous night's poisoning, and stays at the castle to recuperate. At Boaz' pool, Hank impresses the staff with his drinking, Eoj concerns the staff with his capacity for worrying, Trislyn is forced to face her feelings and life choices in a deprivation room, and an Aarakocra offers the group a job taking care of a Hill Giant.

Feeling better after her time recuperating at Castle Never, Addi travels to join the rest of her crew at Boaz' Pool. Trislynn wakes and becomes paranoid after a series of things in the room aren't quite right, including a mysteriously appearing gemstone with ties to her past. During breakfast with the crew, Trislynn takes a poisoned dart to the neck. Addi heals her and the race is on to capture the culprit, who Trislynn eventually works out must be one of her Tots, Terri. She catches up to Terri and gives in to an urge from Hadal to destroy her. Trislynn finds a warrant for herself on the body which Terri must have been hoping to cash in on, and dimension doors away, leaving the rest of the crew confused, very disturbed, and wondering what they can do to help her.

The crew finally meet with the Aarakocra to hear the details of their job offer. After agreeing to terms and meeting the other pirate hired to help, Ilyrio Lupineheart, they travel to the Barony and set out to find the Hill Giant. Eventually they discover the giant digging in the mountainside, apparently looking for something more than the valuable obsidian it is finding and tossing aside. The crew attacks and quickly discovers that the giant is wearing an illusion, and is actually a fire giant. In the midst of battle, Ilyrio is overcome by a migraine and morphs into Gary, who is desperate to get Dirty Hank's lantern. Hank, Eoj and Gary fight over the lantern while Addi finishes off the fire giant. Gary explains lives are depending on him destroying the thing inside the lantern, and with a push from Hadal, Dirty Hank destroys the lantern itself, causing darkness to cover the land, and Gary/Ilyrio to drop dead.

Investigating Gary/Ilyrio's body, Eoj is hit with the final vestiges of the Gary virus, granting him limited telepathic abilities. Dirty Hank and Trislyn investigate where the fire giant was digging and discover a door that seems to be a portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Darkness falls again, and Jarmi appears to them all, thanking Dirty Hank for releasing him - although it may have kick-started the apocalypse. The crew return to the Aarakocra for payment, and Eoj raises the idea of the apocalypse with the Dauphin who admits they have experienced portents and warns him about Tor Alach Apti and her thrall. The crew go to the local markets to sell gear looted from the Fire Giant, but are attacked by a snow storm, a frost monster, some kind of frozen reincarnation of Jimmy Buffett, and Gwendolyn. They defeat Jimmy but Gwen's appearance causes Dirty Hank and Trislyn to have a desperate and heartfelt conversation about Hadal after it commands Trislyn to kill Gwen.

The crew spends time in the Aarakocra town after defeating Jimmy Buffett. In the process of avoiding a talk about their feelings, Dirty Hank accidentally stumbles into an Aarakocra family dinner, Trislynn talks to Thrane about Hadal and Addi tries to talk to Trislynn about what's been going on with her.

In this musical finale of Season 1, frost monsters are attacking Neverwinter and when the crew tries to sail back to help, things come to a head with Hadal. The crew are tempted by the Elder God in turn, and run into battle with the frost monsters. In the course of the fight, Eoj is taken over by Hadal, and Addi is forced to shoot the crew to get Hadal out of them. The Elder God warns her that this is not the end, but once Addi destroys its incarnation, all the crew return to this plane of being.
