The greenhorns make decisions about whether to continue with their new careers or to go on with their lives. The crews rush to finish pulling in the last of the crab pots for the season and head back to Dutch Harbor to get in line for the crab processor. The Hansen brothers on board the Northwestern decide not to launch any more pots and instead go after a string of pots in the northern king crab waters that Sig dubs 'Long Tall Sally' the decision is rewarded when the pots come in huge, enabling the Northwestern to win the final King Crab Derby title. The fleet is forced to make difficult decisions about whether to continue last-minute pot placements or pull in all of their gear and cut their losses on the short season rather than violate the law. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced the end of the season after only 2 days and the captains started to worry that they would not be able to catch enough crab to be profitable. The crews continued to set their crab pots with mixed results-highliner boats like the Fierce Allegiance and the Northwestern were pulling lower numbers than expected the Western Viking finally found the crab after an extremely bad first string. The Northwestern greenhorn, Bradford, was unnerved by the sight of his first king crab-'they look like aliens,' he observed-but was corrected by deck boss Edgar Hansen: 'They're gorgeous! Look just like giant dollar bills!' Some ships immediately had large crab catches-the Northwestern had two 'riders' on pots kept in underwater storage to add to their tanks before even pulling their first official pots-while others experienced problem after problem with both equipment and finding the crabs. The greenhorns started to feel fatigued after only one night.

The crews of the ships set all of their crab pots and waited to retrieve them. The ships departed to sea for the king crab season.
