Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Representing a crucial, meditative break in the action, Chapter XXIII eased up on some of the physical conflict (save for a short raid sequence and a victorious Vane sword fight) and upped the intrigue.

Along with, of course, the mysterious intelligence cargo aboard that ship Vane and Teach captured. The "treasure" that was designed to vanish regardless of whether or not the crew put up a fight or not.
