they should toss that prince out an airlock as he seems like he'll just cause more trouble in the future.

It's piecing up together. Can't wait for next episode.

Will pick up later

So the blob monster on the navy ship was Minnie.
The Justin of Thunder family diplomat who was trying to start a coup over the royal family got eliminated by the Gu family.
Guess we're pretty much done with the past arc with the pirates at this point. Only things that need revealing is Joseph's whereabouts and the kid in the pod.

I still want to know where are the kids in episode 1. I thought Joseph Lee is the boy but it seems not. Where is Joseph Lee anyway? Is he the blob?

I'm having a little trouble following this story.

Events with the kid in ep 1 happened about 10-20 yr before the pirate arc (judging from the way he's an adult in the pod now).The pirate arc with Joseph happened in the past while the events of the Thunder family politics is in the present.

Who is the boy in the pod? I thought Joseph Lee is the boy in the past but it seems not.
