"Are you a witch?" - Matthew Hopkins
Agent Rupa Kalsi finds herself at the mercy of one of history’s most feared men, Matthew Hopkins – the Witchfinder General – during the height of England’s crusade against so-called witches. While the team desperately tries to find a way to save her without causing a quantum infraction, Ethan finds himself going deep undercover…
== Synopsis ==
Rupa and Sebastián Marcos face torture and interrogation at the hands of the villainous Matthew Hopkins.
Sarah forces Ben Scallon to release Jack Harringer from the Void, but after he recovers from his ordeal he leaves, without acknowledging that he is the father of her baby.
After an unsuccessful attempt to raid the gaol, the team launch an outrageous plan to save Rupa, who is convicted - alongside Marcos and the other prisoners - of witchcraft at their trial.
Ethan meets Nate Cotter, the head of the Circle cell he is to infiltrate, and successfully convinces Nate - who is aware of his real identity and past - to bring him in.
Using a mix of 21st-century technology, sleight-of-hand and dramatic flair, the team successfully rescue both Rupa and Marcos, leaving a bemused Hopkins to ponder on the real existence of witches after all.
