So there she is, Olivia Kirschner. In 1971. Being arrested for the possession of stolen merchandise. And Cassie has gone back to assassinate her.

8 of 19She was branded! She drank all that red tea that makes people hallucinate! She met The Witness, who, actually…is HER! And learned that she was going to have a baby and sacrifice it to The Witness. Wouldn't that make YOU want to run away? Either way, it makes Cassie want to help Young Olivia, as one mother to another.
