In season 5 episode 16 of The Curse of Oak Island titled "Seeing Red," the Lagina brothers and the members of their team continue their quest to uncover the supposed treasure trove on Oak Island, Nova Scotia. The episode opens with the team making a new discovery in borehole B-10. The team has suspected that the excavation site is booby-trapped, and they have been digging down more carefully. The first thing they come across is a small chamber that contains a new shaft. The team tries hard to input a camera to check what’s inside the shaft, hoping to find a way to the treasure.

Later, the team is joined by Steve Guptill, who is an expert in maritime and Oak Island history. He shares his own findings and opinions about the island with the team. With Guptill’s help, they hope to get closer to the truth about the island's past. They examine different book collections and maps of Oak Island, trying to connect the dots in order to pinpoint the location of the treasure.
