One Good Deed
With Attaway Transport and the Millner Company gone, the Blighters lean on Bayley as London's only omnibus maker. Evie rescues him from a carriage chase and rides with him to Attaway's old factory to steal back his deed, which keeps his family safe.
Afterwards
Bayley introduces Evie to the founders of the London General Omnibus Company, which will start supplying omnibuses to the city.
The chase
One Good Deed opens in Southwark, after Jacob has killed Pearl Attaway and closed her omnibus company. Evie sees Blighters cornering Bayley and threatening his children unless he builds buses for them. She draws them off, he escapes in his cart, and she fights off the pursuing gang in a stolen carriage before taking his reins.
The deed
Bayley explains the gang holds the deed to Attaway Transport, which his partners need to launch their company, an idea he borrows from America of a firm run for the people. Evie gets into the omnibus factory and takes the deed from a gang leader; the full sync goal is not to let that target leave the building. She tells Bayley she has sent Maxwell Roth's men a message, and the deal ends the Blighters' hold on the city's transport.
