** This also goes for Sibley himself, making his initial impotent state of AndIMustScream particularly karmic.
** Anne and Mercy eventually become psychotic megalomaniacs as time goes on.
** Cotton Mather as well, albeit to a lesser extent than his father.

** [[spoiler: And Season three ends with Anne fully embracing her villainy, killing Isaac, Mercy, Magistrate Hale and finishing off the Countess permanently in order to take her place as the Devil's Bride. Plus killing the Devil himself so that she can repeat the Grand Rite, offering up Cotton's child as the Devil's future host. She renders Tituba blind and mute and transports her to a slave-ship and further servitude. Cotton ends up choosing to go to Hell, sacrificing himself to save the people of Salem, only for Anne to start the witch hunts up again. The only bright spot is that she spares John and Mary, and they're able to leave Salem and try to make a new life together.]]
