Ward was upset about the whole situation and tried to talk it out with Rafe. But Rafe didn’t look at it as a mistake. Eventually, Rafe lost control and started shouting at his father. Ward tried to convince Rafe to shut down their existing business in Kildare County. But Rafe attacked Ward and told him to leave. Now, he didn’t need his father because Rafe had enough gold to set up his own business in the town. Ward realized that he had committed a huge mistake by handing over all his responsibilities to Rafe. Now, Ward understood the importance of his daughter, and he used Wheezie to call her home. Sarah knew that it was her father all along, and no matter what he did, Sarah felt bad for Ward because he would be arrested if he was seen in Kildare. Ward apologized to Sarah for all his mistakes and left some money and a condo behind for her.

A Guajiro King never wanted to share the gold with his sons because this gold was supposed to be owned by a man of great wisdom. To ensure that the gold landed in the right hands, the king set up the Gnomon test at the entrance of El Dorado. Even if Carlos tried to take the gold forcefully, he and his men would have been killed instantly. That explained the mysterious deaths of all the residents of San Jose and Royal Merchant. Well, John B had never wanted the gold; he just wanted to save his father. Neville agreed to save Big John, and in the end, he provided John B with all the directions. Greed could kill anyone, but John B showed that he had a pure heart and that his intentions were just to protect his father.

All this time, Big John had been distracting Carlos’ attention by fabricating the entire story of El Dorado. Carlos wanted to take revenge on those who had fooled his ancestors on the last expedition to El Dorado in the year 1913. Meanwhile, John B came back to Kildare County because he wanted Sarah and Kiara to join them on the El Dorado trip.

The girls were at the party that Kiara’s parents had arranged. While John B had apologized for his behavior, Sarah confessed her betrayal. He was heartbroken and decided to end his relationship with Sarah. At the same time, Kiara refused to join them since her parents would not appreciate her leaving again. All this time, while JJ and John B were scared of Big John, Kiara only cared about having a conversation with JJ. She confessed her feelings for JJ, and he rejected them. JJ believed that their relationship was never going to work since it would be overshadowed by the classist gap between the Pogues and the Kooks. Now, there was a huge misunderstanding between Sarah and John B, as well as Kiara and JJ.

Even though John B had broken up with Sarah, he waited for her to get back, but John B couldn’t control his anger when he saw her embracing Topper. John B rushed toward Topper and punched him. Mike tried to hit him, but JJ stepped in and saved John B from Mike. In the end, they left the party and decided to save Big John.
