Elizabeth I's Golden Ship is the seventh episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the fifth episode to complete production and the twenty-sixth to air. Moat Crossing  Footboard moat One partner from each team had an "Aztec footboard". When Kirk said go, the first partner of each team paddled across the moat. Once across, they climbed out onto the other side. That was the signal for the second partner to pull the footboard back to the other side, jump on, grab the rope, swing the footboard into the water, and pull themselves across the Moat. When the second teammate reached the other side, it was his job to hit the gong.
Steps of Knowledge  Long ago, a beautiful princess was born, but her father, the king, was very disappointed. He didn't think a girl could be strong enough to rule a country and protect it from foreign invaders. That princess grew up to be Queen Elizabeth I of England and proved him wrong. In the 1500s, while Elizabeth was queen, Spain was the richest and strongest country in the world. The only country that challenged Spain's power was England. The king of Spain hated Queen Elizabeth and thought he could defeat her, so he gathered all his warships and sent them north to attack. Elizabeth made Sir Francis Drake her royal admiral and sent him and her tiny navy out to defend her kingdom. Even though the English were outnumbered, they whipped the Spanish navy. Elizabeth welcomed her navy home and gave Sir Francis Drake a small, golden ship has a present of thanks.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are 13-year-old Mike, who plays baseball (bats 0.396), but never got any home runs, and 12-year-old Andrea, who wants to play for the Olympic basketball team. The Red Jaguars are 13-year-old Joe, who plays junior varsity football, and 14-year-old Gaby, who plays the piano. Assemble the Fleet (Dragon Tunnel)  When Philip of Spain sent his mighty fleet of ships to invade the English, Elizabeth had to quickly summon her own fleet to hold them off. Before the teams were two ocean waves with a ship in each trough. When Kirk gave the signal, they pull themselves over the waves to the first troughs, attach the first ship to their helmet. Then they went to the next ones, stuck those to their helmets. Then they turned around, they came back and they did the same thing again. They went like that for 60 seconds. The first play to get back with six ships on their heads or the player with the most ships on their heads when time was up wins. Mike had six ships on his helmet - but was not back yet - when time elapsed, while Joe only had four. Tower of London (Peanut Shaft)  When Elizabeth was young, two things happened to her: she was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and she lost all of her hair. They combined those two events in that game. At the base of their towers were several wigs and at the top several heads. When Kirk gave the signal, each player grabbed a wig, climb to the top of their towers, and placed their wigs on one of the heads. Then they climbed back down and grabbed another. The first player to get four wigs onto the heads at the top of the tower in one minute won. Obviously, no team won; Gaby and Andrea tied at three apiece. St. George's Cross (Bungee Soap Line)  Today, the English flag is called the Union Jack. When Elizabeth was queen, it was called Saint George's cross. The players were going to make one. One player from each team started with a piece of flag on their heads. And when Kirk gave the signal, both partners pulled themselves to the center. When they got there, they passed pieces of the flag from one player's helmet to their partner's. Then they slid back to their starting points. The first partners grabbed another piece of the flag while the second partners placed their pieces in the correct upright position. Then they pulled themselves to the center and did it again. The team with the most correctly placed pieces of flag at the end of one minute won. The Purple Parrots only placed one piece on the board, and it was discounted due to the fact that the flag side was not facing outward. The Red Jaguars placed four pieces on the board. Despite the fact that only one piece was placed properly, it was still enough to win the game and the full pendant, sending the Red Jaguars to Olmec's Temple in search of the golden ship with 1½ pendants.
Temple Run  Before the temple run, Joe told Kirk that his and Gaby's strategy of getting to the golden ship on time was taking the direct route and hoping that the door to The Throne Room would be open when he opens it from The Pit of Despair. While it was nice thought, but sadly it was too good to be true. Joe went into the temple first moving at a good pace. Starting out at The Cave of Sighs, he immediately encountered the first Temple Guard causing Joe to jump back and stumble. After forking over his Pendant of Life, he continues through and unlocks the lower crawl tube and into The Pit of Despair. In the pit, Joe attempted to unlock the door to The Throne Room, but unsurprisingly, the door was locked. Thus, forcing him to find a new path and he decided to head into The Heart Room; While climbing, Joe had a slight difficulty getting up, as he at first attempted to climb up using the ropes on the wall, before eventually using the holes on The Wall Climb to unlock the door to The Heart Room. After another slight difficulty getting his grip, Joe makes his way into The Heart Room but was unfortunately caught by the second temple guard and was removed from the temple with 2:16 to go. Now it was Gaby's turn to try her luck. Despite moving at a slightly slower pace than that of Joe, she knew exactly what to do and had a good map of the temple in her head. Following the same path as Joe, she reached The Heart Room with 1:46 left on the clock. Gaby attempted to unlock the door to The Throne Room, but it did not open, so she instead opted to go to The Room of the Golden Idols. Unfortunately, bad luck will occur for her because after slowly making her way out of the crawl tube, the third and final temple guard captured her with 1:29 remaining. It was unfortunate that Joe and Gaby barely got to do much in the temple without having to encounter a temple guard within almost every room they went into. While most fans claim that the placement of guards was extremely harsh, the common mistake of the contestants heading directly for the artifact was also what led the triple seizure to happen. It was unknown where exactly was the other half of Gaby's pendant. With no clear indication on where it was. As it was also common in the first season for it to be difficult to see during the Temple Run; But judging by the path they were forced to go, (despite the other options), it shows that it was necessary to find the other half instead of it being optional. Regardless, it was still sad to see the two barely get a chance to get to the golden ship on time. And because of this, this caused fans to coin the term: "Triple Seizure" because of this episode and any future runs for any team getting capture by all three guards and resulting the temple run to have an abrupt game over. This episode unfortunately marked as the first and fastest triple seizure to ever occur in the show's history.
