1. In 1.01, Billy claims that there are no kings in Nassau and is skeptical of the idea of a king. He goes on to crown Silver ‘King’ in 3.10.

2. Captain Hume has a long rambling speech about shame being the root of civilisation in 1.01. As we all know ‘knowing no shame’ becomes a huge theme later on and a plays a big part in James’ story and the formation of Captain Flint.

1. In 1.02 Mr. Gates correctly assumes Max and Silver will want to trade in jewels rather than gold because it is easier to keep safe and hidden. It’s never said if it was Max or Silver who thought of the idea, but later in 3.02 Max proposes the same method in order to keep the Urca gold safe and easy to move around in the event of an invasion.

2. In 1.08 Vane gets to the heart of what’s bothering Eleanor, that she’s being tired of being controlled by men (aside: in 1.07 Eleanor remarks that he life doesn’t belong to the men around her as well). In 4.05 after hearing about Mr. Scott’s double life she re-affirms this, tired of always feeling like men are trying to manipulate her will to their benefit.
