After eliminating the guards and saving Tilly, Arthur and Susan then pursue Foreman, killing more of his henchmen before hogtying him and bringing bring him back to Radley's House.

Tilly warns Anthony to leave her alone; in turn, Foreman promises that he will. Arthur has the decision to kill or spare him, with Tilly supporting the latter.

Beaver Hollow Chapter

Tilly gives Arthur a letter from Mary Linton, before commenting that Mary "isn't worth it". After the Pinkertons raid the Hollow, she takes Jack and hides him from them. She and Jack run from the camp and come across the other members, informing them that Abigail was captured. While Dutch, Micah, Bill and Javier decide to abandon Abigail in order to avoid further conflict, Arthur and Sadie decide to rescue Abigail. Before leaving, however, Arthur gives Tilly his share of their just-completed train heist and tells her to live a good life. Tilly, realizing Arthur's incoming death, expresses that she'll miss him. After Abigail is rescued, she and Sadie head to Copperhead Landing to reunite with Tilly and Jack.

Epilogue

After leaving the gang, Tilly marries a lawyer from Haiti with the surname Pierre, who she would have a daughter with shortly afterwards. John Marston can encounter her in Saint Denis, on a bench near the park next to the tailor shop. They greet each other and have a conversation before her trolley arrives. Later, she writes a letter to John; her letter reveals that they live in a fine house with servants, and that she still frequently sees Mary-Beth. Additionally, she mentions that she has neither seen nor heard of Karen, speculating that she died from alcoholism.

Character

Personality

Tilly is often considered sweet and innocent by her peers and is well-liked. She appears to like Molly O'Shea more than some of the other women, as evident in the mission "Polite Society, Valentine Style" when she is the first to express regret in not bringing Molly along. However, after Molly was killed after confessing to betraying the gang, Tilly is less sympathetic than most of the other women and believes that O'Shea got what she deserved. Jackson is also shown to be brave and altruistic, saving Jack from the Pinkertons in the absence of other gang members.

Tilly holds Anthony Foreman in low regard and claims that he thinks he owns her, while being hostile to him while she is captured. Nonetheless, when Foreman later promises that he’ll leave her alone, Jackson is adamant that he should be spared and asks Arthur not to kill him, revealing a forgiving side to her personality. Like other women in the gang, Tilly thinks highly of Arthur and offers multiple conversations with him at camp.
