****Not plausible. When she's released, Elizabeth recognizes Booker as the same Booker she's always loved. The possibility exists that they are both taken to a FOURTH dimension where the Vox are in full uprising mode AND Comstock is searching for them. Crossing the bridge clearly sent you through time, It's plausible that it also sent you to a new dimension.

*** You never end up back in the original Columbia. The final conflict is against Vox revolutionaries trying to sink Comstocks head ship. Of course the whole ending of the game makes the "paradox" of two Elizabeths existing kinda moot. Chew on this though: the Elizabeth that Booker rescues after coming back from the BadFuture? What if that wasn't ''our'' Elizabeth? What if that was the Elizabeth native to the Vox rebellion world and her Booker died? What if "our" Elizabeth was taken back to the original universe, the one you never return to, and is subjected to years and years of torment and torture at the hands of Comstock, all the while holding out hope that Booker will come to save her, but he never does... at least, not until she's already begun her attack on New York and purposefully brought Booker there to give him the solution they never could find together, and then sent him off to save the third Columbia's Elizabeth who ''he'' never met in the first place, but she remembers him as the Vox revolutionaries martyr.

** Not entirely: if that version of Elizabeth has been recaptured by the Comstock- or was never successfully rescued in the first place, (summaries of the voxophone aren't clear)- then it follows that the Songbird that attacks Booker prior to the events of Comstock house cannot belong to that dimension. After all, if that universe's Elizabeth is in founder custody, Songbird shouldn't have any interest in the Elizabeth Booker has with him; plus, if Elizabeth had been moved a different fortress in preparation for the arrival "the False Shepard", then it probably wouldn't have ended with Songbird in the water- in which case, why does it have the signiature crack in its eye? From all this, I think it's possible that the Songbird of the first Colombia visited is actively following Booker and Elizabeth through dimensions. After all, it's been perfectly established that Comstock can manipulate Tears of his own through machinery. Thus, it can also be assumed that the Songbird eventually brings the recaptured Elizabeth to the first Comstock. From there, I'm not sure: either this version of Comstock has holed up in alternate Comstock's house while the original resident tries to escape the Vox, or you actually do end up back in the first Colombia after all. Sound plausible?

** Another layer; Booker, who the main religious establishment of Columbia hates and fears, is revealed to have been martyred as a hero to the Vox in one universe, then seems to come back to life. Comstock would certainly believe him to be the anti-christ, seeing his actions as a perverting of the Jesus mythology.

No matter what happens, the general storyline, even the ending, does not change. Even with access to infinite universes, with infinite possibilities, the player can not really deviate from the story the dev team chooses to present.
