With little other choice, they decide to burn the raft, determined to help Passepartout. They even burn the shelter to try and keep the fire going. He’s freezing cold too, prompting Abigail to snuggle up tight and help bring his body temperature up. After fixing up Fogg’s raft as a gesture of good will, he begins to shiver. In the morning, Passepartout takes a turn for the worst. As they talk, Abigail even points out that Passepartout’s earlier suggestion – that Bellamy is the puppet master behind setting Kneedling against him – seems to hold a lot of weight. Both of these moments were footnotes in Fogg’s adventure, and barely acknowledged by either of them. Not even the temptation of fresh lobster deters him!Ībigail soon talks Fogg around though, mentioning Passepartout’s brother being killed and how he shot a man in Africa. The only trouble is, Fogg doesn’t want to even hear him out after the betrayal. Fogg is irate and as the two fight it out, Passepartout remains determined to make things right with Fogg. Well, Passepartout soon reveals the truth about taking money from Kneedling to delay the journey. Fogg blames himself for all of this, unaware that it’s partly Passepartout who’s to blame for this occurring. As it does, Fogg apologizes for letting them all down and bringing them to this tropical prison. With a makeshift shelter, another storm rolls in. Passepartout luckily finds fresh water while Abigail finds foul-tasting fruit. It’s a desert island – and a relatively small one at that. As they continue to walk along the shore, they realize they’re walking in circles. Fogg deduces that they may well be in south-east Asia somewhere – potentially Japan. To make matters worse, a storm is closing in.Īs Day 47 of this expedition arrives, our trio all wash up on shore, sputtering water and exhausted – but very much alive. Episode 6 of Around the World in 80 Days begins with Fogg, Passepartout and Abigail forced into a rowing boat and exiled from their vessel.
