Plot summary
13/01/2016 - The clock is ticking and Charlotte has a bad feeling that she just can't shake. When another visit to Tom's memories reveals a horrifying truth, it's the blow that finally transforms her from Initiate to true Assassin as she puts aside her own safety for the good of the Brotherhood.
2015: Believing that nothing further can be gleaned from Charlotte, both Xavier and Galina head out to try and rescue Joseph from the Templars.
Charlotte re-enters the Animus on a hunch and discovers that Joseph had been telling the Templars the truth all along.
1692: Tom and Jennifer are being tortured, in the same dungeon that they escaped from. After a distraction from Consus, Jennifer manages to free them both. She is mortally wounded by Stoughton whilst trying to obtain weaponry.
Stoughton attempts to kill Tom, but is knocked out. As Tom attempts to escape, he is shot by a recovered Stoughton.
Declaring the imprisoned girls to be a new breed of oracles, Dorothy is overtaken by feelings of guilt, and takes her own life by fire.
Enraged, Stoughton declares that all women shall be tried for witchcraft and attempts to kill Tom. He is shot by fellow Templar, Parris.
Parris clearly has misgivings about Stoughton's methods and takes control of the situation. He releases Tom, David, and the girls.
Tom and David bury Dorothy and Jennifer on the outskirts of Salem. The location of their burial is now known.[2]
