At the crucial moment of confrontation with the rival hunter, Alejandro employs a blend of diplomacy and strategic cunning. He proposes a temporary alliance, suggesting that the path revealed by the celestial event holds challenges and secrets that could be better faced together. Reluctantly, the rival hunter agrees, swayed by the potential of untold riches and the realization that the path's dangers might exceed his capabilities alone.

With this uneasy alliance formed, the team and their newfound companion follow the illuminated path to the hidden inlet, revealed only under the unique conditions of the celestial alignment. The inlet, a narrow passage carved by the relentless sea, leads them to a secluded cove that seems untouched by time.

Alejandro's leadership is tested as he navigates this new alliance, balancing the need for cooperation with the imperative to protect the treasure's true purpose. His journey is one of tact, ensuring the group's cohesion while guarding against potential betrayal.

Isabella's resourcefulness comes to the fore as the team explores the cove, finding evidence of ancient habitation and the possibility of hidden entrances to subterranean chambers. Her journey is one of exploration, uncovering the layers of history and mystery that the cove conceals.

Luis remains vigilant, the tension of the alliance and the unknown dangers of the cove heightening his senses. His journey is one of watchfulness, ensuring that the fragile peace among the group holds as they delve deeper into the secrets of the inlet.

Sofia's expertise is invaluable as they discover inscriptions and symbols that suggest the cove was a site of significant astronomical and ritualistic importance. Her journey is one of interpretation, deciphering the clues that bind the celestial phenomena to the physical location and its role in the treasure's legend.

The episode reaches a pivotal point when the team uncovers an entrance to a hidden chamber beneath the cove, suggesting that this secluded spot may have been a safeguarded repository for part of the treasure or a map to its ultimate location.

However, as they prepare to explore the chamber, they realize that the tide is rapidly changing, the inlet's entrance beginning to close off as the celestial alignment shifts. Faced with the prospect of being trapped, the team must quickly decide whether to proceed with the exploration or retreat and wait for the next alignment.
