A sad, remorseful Nathaniel confesses all to Abberline and Mathilda whilst Jackson proves that Dove killed Robin but, to avoid a public scandal, the Chief Commissioner orders that Dove is secretly taken to prison and quietly forgotten. Susan and Nathaniel are executed but Jackson is allowed to return to America with Connor on condition that Reid accepts reinstatement. Mathilda forgives Drummond and they marry, leaving London for the country whilst Mimi, having successfully reopened her theatre, also gets married and moves away from Whitechapel. Reid receives news that Jackson has died a hero in the States and reminisces on the old days and his happy partnership with Drake, remaining at his desk as the last survivor of the events in Ripper Street.
