As they strategize their next moves, John explains the importance of communication and understanding the customs of these tribes. The tension rises when they learn about a potential sacrifice and their pact to rescue captives threatens their safety. They begin coordinating a plan to prevent these sacrifices, involving scouting and conveying messages, all while staying vigilant against the native tribes they encounter.
