Everyone was in awe as they looked at the beauty before them, but B.E.N. seemed to think otherwise as he looked around the planet. "This is all seeming very familiar," he scratched his head. "I-I can't remember why," B.E.N. murmured. Y/N looked over B.E.N.'s shoulder and tapped Jim's arm, making him look at her, and she nodded her head toward a ship filled with gold. Jim looked at Silver, who was walking in the sea of treasure. "B.E.N., come on," Jim nudged the robot and started moving with Y/N and Morph trailing behind. "We're getting out of here, and we're not leaving empty-handed." Y/N, Jim, Morph, and B.E.N. started to head for a pirate ship parked among the treasure. "But—but, Jimmy! N/N!" B.E.N. whispered, calling to them as they slid down and walked to the abandoned ship.

Silver was busy engulfing himself in a sea of gold. His dream had come true. He knelt among some treasure. "A lifetime of searching. And at long last..." He gathered some treasure in his hands. "I can touch it." Silver had a big victory smile on his face; his dream and goal had finally been achieved.

Y/N, Jim, Morph, and B.E.N. make it to the ship and climb aboard. Jim climbs aboard first, and Y/N climbs after him. "Do you know what's strange? I can't tell you how frustrating this is, Jimmy, N/N," Jim reached a hand out to B.E.N. "'Cause there's something just—it's nagging at the back of my mind. Aah!" Jim helps B.E.N. up, but he falls onto the ship's deck because he saw something that startled him. Y/N and Jim looked to where he was spooked and saw a skeletal figure in the chair. "Captain Flint?" Jim recognized. B.E.N. sat up, his eyes twitching. "In the flesh!" There sat Captain Flint's corpse on a golden throne, his clothes all tarred up. Y/N looked grossed out at that. "Can you really call that 'in the flesh'?" Y/N raised a brow as she lazily pointed at the skeleton figure. "Well, s-sort of, except for skin, organs, or anything that—that—that resembles flesh... that's not there."

Jim and Y/N walk towards the skeleton, observing him. "And yet it's so odd, you know? I remember there was something horrible Flint didn't want anyone else to know, but I—I just can't remember what it was." B.E.N. blabbers on, and Y/N notices something the skeletal Captain Flint is clutching in his fist when a small light flashes behind them. "Could this be..." Jim looked to where Y/N was observing, came over, and saw the piece in the hand. Jim rips the piece out of skeleton Captain Flint's bony hand; his bony fingers flew out. He observes it and shows it to Y/N, allowing her to take it. "Oh, a mind is a terrible thing to lose!" B.E.N. dramatically weeps, and the couple looks at B.E.N. as he turns around and sees the back of his head, showing the wires poking out. They see that the piece is a similar shape to B.E.N.'s missing piece.

"B.E.N., I think we just found your mind," Jim says as Y/N walks over to B.E.N. and grabs his head. "Hold still." Feeling her hands on B.E.N.'s head makes him shiver. "Aah! N/N, your hands are very, very cold—" Y/N slowly raises the copper piece towards the back of B.E.N.'s head, and the wires attach themselves to the copper piece, interrupting B.E.N. "Whoa!" B.E.N.'s eyes flicker as he seems to be rebooting and regaining his memories, and his eyes change from green to blue. "Hello." Y/N clasps her hands together, seeing B.E.N. fixed. "You know, uh, Jimmy, N/N, I was just thinking... I was just thinking—" B.E.N. pauses as Y/N and Jim smile at him, and B.E.N. grabs their shoulders. "It's all flooding back! All my memories! Right up until Flint pulled my memory circuits so I could never tell anybody about his BOOBY TRAP!" he quickly says with a cackle, and a sudden crash sounds above them. "Speaking of which..."
