What the sequence covers
Running at the same time as Jacob's ironworks job, Evie's memory is built around stealth: a diversion on the train, a rescued informant, a stolen key and a hidden underground laboratory. It is the first time you control Evie and her cane sword, and it ends with both twins regrouping with George Westhouse.
Memories in order
1. A Simple Plan (Evie).
How it endsSpoilerShow
Evie kills Brewster, but the overcharged Piece of Eden destroys the laboratory and itself, and Brewster's last words reveal the Templars already hold a stronger artefact. George tells the twins to wait for the Council in Crawley. They ignore him and jump a train to London.
Who is involved
Lucy Thorne visits to demand faster results with the artefact and threatens Brewster when he asks for two more weeks. Guards bring in a man they suspect of spying for Henry Green; freeing him gives Evie the clue that the lab is underground. George Westhouse meets both twins at a railyard afterwards and urges patience, which neither twin has.
Why it matters
The destroyed artefact and Brewster's warning about a stronger one are the hook for Evie's thread through the rest of the game, while Jacob's impatience with the Council sets up his gang-building in London.
