The Golden Earring of Henry Morgan is the 74th episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the 74th episode to be aired. Moat CrossingThe Moat design was interesting; the players each had a stack of floating rings they could stand on as they hung from a rod and climbed hand over hand across the Moat, but they did not actually need to use the floating rings, they could go on without them and not be sent back. The Orange Iguanas, Silver Snakes, Red Jaguars, and Purple Parrots were the first four teams to make it across in that order.
Steps of KnowledgeThe most daring, most deadly, most dreadful pirate of them all was Henry Morgan. In the 1600's, he built a navy of over 2,000 pirates and attacked the Spanish Colonies throughout the Caribbean. In 1668, Morgan and his crew attacked the town of Porto Bello in Panamá. They locked up the townsfolk in the church, built a bonfire, and threw a victory party. They forced the town merchants to confess where their gold was hidden. Legend has it the party was in full swing when out stepped the beautiful Carmen Ghia. "Carmen, you lovely wench, dance with me." "I'd rather be roasted, you pig." "That can be arranged." But just then, Carmen grabbed him by his big gold pirate's earring and twisted till he fell to his knees. "Ow! Let me go." "Look at the dread pirate now, quaking right down to his swashbuckle. People of Porto Bello, take arms!" The people rallied around Carmen and drove the pirates out of town. Carmen kept Morgan's earring as a souvenir.
Temple GamesThe Orange Iguanas are Shannon and Raymond. The Silver Snakes are Ashley and Shem. Treasure Map Puzzle (Swinging Sandbags)[] Like any good pirate, Henry Morgan buried his treasure and made a secret map of its location. Shannon and Ashley's task was to recover and reassemble the pieces of that map. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to crawl to the first cube and grab the first piece of the map. Then, she had to come back to her starting cube and place the piece on the proper place on her board and move on to the next cube. As they moved back and forth, they had to avoid the swinging obstacles. If either player got hit, she had to return to her first position and start the trip again. The player to assemble the map completely or the player with the most map pieces on her board in 60 seconds won. Ashley grabbed her last map piece but got hit near the last second. She had three map pieces on her board, awarding her a half Pendant of Life. Shannon only managed to place two map pieces on her board. Golden Democracy (Cubbyhole Web)[]In some ways, pirates were very democratic. They could elect a new captain. And after a successful raid, each member of the crew received an equal portion of the loot. Beside Raymond and Shem stood a cave with several covered cubbyholes and a giant spider web in the center. Each cubbyhole contains a sack of gold. When Kirk gave the signal, one player from each team had to scramble up the web to an opening, smash through the cover, and grab a sack of gold. Once either player grabbed a piece of gold, he then had to come back down and drop it in his bowl on the scale and then climb up again to grab some more. The higher the cubbyhole, the heavier the sack of gold inside. The player with the heaviest loot in his bowl in 60 seconds won. Shem had the heaviest loot in his bowl, awarding him a half Pendant of Life. Treasure Hunt (Boat)[]For safekeeping, the pirates buried their treasure in out-of-the-way places. Here, both teams had to recover some buried pirate treasure. When Kirk gave the signal, both teams had to push their boat off and sail down to the deserted island. There, they had to pick up the treasure chest and haul it on board. Once the treasure chest was on board, they had to grab the rope and pull themselves back to shore. If either team touched the water, they had to start back at the island. The team to bring their treasure back to the dock in 60 seconds won. The Orange Iguanas made it back with 36 seconds of spare time, awarding them a full Pendant of Life, leading to a tie. Tiebreaker[]Olmec: "Which of these men was another famous Pirate: Billy the Kid, Captain Kidd or Captain Kirk?" Shem rang in and correctly answered "Captain Kidd" sending him and Ashley to Olmec's temple in search of the golden earring.
Temple RunAshley went first into the temple in search of the golden earring. She moved at a good speed and had a good map of the Temple in her head. Starting off at The Crypt, she quickly pulls on all three books from the skeletons with the third one allowing her access to The Pit. She then swings across to the other side to open the doors leading to The Observatory and The Room of the Mandarin Hand but comes up unsuccessful. With no other choice, Ashley then jumps down and opens the door to The Laser Light Room. In there, she encounters the first temple guard, and quickly forks over the team's only pendant, completely unfazed by the guard. After that, she is able to unveil the white light after pulling on the third block she pulled from, however Ashley continued to pull the other blocks off until Kirk told her she can continue onwards to The Jester's Court. In there, Ashley had a bit of a tough time aligning herself with some of the wall paintings, but after trying the third painting, she unlocks the door to The Dark Forest. In there, she finds the key that can be used to head up into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. However, Ashley did not use it all and instead opted to bust through The Stone Wall instead where she is caught by the second temple guard within The Mine Shaft with 1:35 left on the clock.   Ashley is captured by the second temple guard Shem was one of the speediest players of all time, determined, and not afraid of running out of energy. He blazed through the rooms up to the point of his partner's departure; he quickly climbs up the ladder leading to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey and then proceeded to complete the monkey with ease. Unfortunately, in The King's Storeroom, Shem had to smash all three pots to find the key and then had to try all three pedestals to unlock the doors to The Observatory or The Room of the Mandarin Hand. To make matters worse, the door that Shem unlocked was not The Room of the Mandarin Hand but instead The Observatory, thus forcing Shem to complete another objective. With less than twenty seconds remaining, he quickly put together the puzzle, climbed down the ladder into The Room of the Mandarin Hand, and grabbed the golden earring just before time expired.   Shem successfully grabs the golden earring just as the timer hit 0. Even though the two did not win the grand prize, both Shem and Ashley were clearly happy to be able to grab the earring in time.
