Once at the hideout she will request if Arthur finds a fat bearded one to let her kill him as that is the one who killed her husband. After killing what remains of the O'Driscolls with Arthur, Sadie brutally murders Tom O'Driscoll, the new leader of the gang and the one who killed her husband. After, Sadie thanks Arthur and call him the second best man she knows, the first being her husband.

After capturing a couple bounties, Sadie goes to John's ranch to announce she found one of Micah's goons, Cleet.

John, Sadie and Charles, head to Strawberry where Cleet was last seen. The trio finds Cleet, chase, beat, and interrogate him, going as far as putting him in the gallows to reveal Micah. After threatening his life, Cleet breaks and tells the gang Micah's in Mount Hagen. John can choose either to spare his life or hang him, where if he spares him, Sadie will get frustrated and shoot and kill Cleet regardless.

John and Sadie, along with Charles, head to the mountain to kill Micah. As they travel up the mountain, they confront the vanguard of Micah's gang. Charles is wounded and stays behind, as John and Sadie push on. Fighting off another group, a gang member stabs Sadie in the stomach. Still alive, Sadie asks John to go on without her. Alone, John and Micah engage in a shootout at the top of the mountain. With neither man giving an inch, Sadie, clutching her wound, appears and breaks the deadlock, however, Dutch reveals himself and Micah gets the upper hand and takes Sadie hostage. After exchanging words, Dutch suddenly shoots Micah in the chest to Micah's surprise, John then fatally shoots Micah repeatedly, avenging Arthur.
