Elizabeth is overdosed with a truth serum in an attempt to discover the whereabouts of the "Ace in the Hole", and wakes up two weeks later, with the Rapture Civil War in full swing. As she releases the particle and causes the building to start rising, Atlas' men capture her, believing her to be more valuable than Sally. Elizabeth escapes and makes her way to Frank Fontaine's private office, bringing with her the Lutece Particle to the top of the sunken structure where the load bearing columns meet. He secures the room and sends her an ultimatum: either join forces with him or die at the hands of his private police who are moving through the facility finishing off Atlas' followers. Once back, she transports the hair sample to Suchong, but, through a video monitor, comes face to face with Andrew Ryan. She retrieves the lock of hair, which turns out to be her own and escapes the scavenging Vox Populi forces to return to the Tear and get back to Rapture. Unlike the Little Sisters, who were bonded through science, Elizabeth was bonded to her protector through an act of kindness. She also learns that Fink and Suchong communicated through the Tear rift and collaborated on many technological projects, such as the use and processing of ADAM to make both plasmids and vigors and the creation and conditioning of Songbird based on the Big Daddy technology. During this, Elizabeth learns that Daisy Fitzroy was instructed by the Luteces to take Fink's son hostage to push Elizabeth into making the innocence-ending decision to kill the revolutionary and thus pass into a mature mindset. She recovers the Lutece Particle easily enough, but before she can return to Rapture, Suchong closes the Tear and forces her to collect a lock of hair from one of Fink's hidden laboratories. She finds herself aboard The First Lady during the time when Booker and Elizabeth had stormed Jeremiah Fink's factory with the Vox Populi. Elizabeth then travels through a Tear back to Columbia. She collects equipment needed to repair the vandalized device with the reluctant help of Atlas and Suchong. Elizabeth rationalizes that she can use the Lutece Particle that kept Columbia afloat to lift the department store back to Rapture. Tracking down Suchong, Elizabeth discovers the doctor knew about Columbia and built a Lutece Device connecting back to the flying city, based on the Luteces' technology. The voice of Booker, who states he is simply a facet of Elizabeth's subconscious, helps her in making her way through the Splicer-inhabited store. The Lutece Twins had advised her not to venture back into Rapture, because her quantum-superposition would collapse into one last Elizabeth, mortal, without omniscience or the ability to open Tears, and cut off from the Elizabeths of the alternative universes, but she was determined to return to Rapture and rescue Sally. However, her powers allowed her to continue existing in some form in the multiverse, and her sense of guilt about the way she used Sally to get revenge on Comstock, moved her to get back to Rapture and clean up the mess. She realizes that her former self was killed by the same Bouncer that impaled Comstock. Left alone, Elizabeth begins to explore the store and finds her own dead body amongst some rubble. Yi Suchong to convince him and promises freedom in exchange for returning Sally. Before they can shoot Elizabeth, a vision of Booker DeWitt appears and coaches her to claim she can help Atlas escape the sunken department store. Atlas and his men take Sally away and search the corpse of Comstock for valuables. Elizabeth wakes up in the Toys section of Fontaine's Housewares Department shortly after the events of Episode 1.
