Just listened to this deleted scene between Achilles and Connor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CyMoc-Lq_Og
"Your father, what's to explain. He and the other Templars hunted us to the last man."
Connor had his chance to kill Lee, Johnson, and Pitcairn at the Tea Party; but did not take it. The Templars seeing the threat of the re-emerging Brotherhood, decide to put their plans of domination on hold in order to deal with the Assassins. At the Homestead, Connor is currently training with his recruits when residents go missing. Alarmed, Connor activates eagle vision sees a swarm of red figures everywhere, suddenly it's a fight to keep his recruits and himself alive as the Templars begin to hunt the Assassins once more.
* Picture the recruits have a fair amount of training under their belts including past experiences in fighting. Connor and Achilles, have been training the recruits for months before they planned on sending them on contract missions. They eventually form a plan to take back the Homestead
* Haytham and Achilles confrontation at the Manor. Haytham grudgingly admits that it was a mistake to let the old assassin live even though he had been broken. He only lets Achilles live now so he can watch the fall of his Order for the second time.
* Haytham probably explores the manor while Achilles is held at gunpoint by some Templars and probably wanders into Connor's room... and maybe sees Ziio's necklace and/or perhaps his old journals? Not sure how he would react to the discovery of a son who is leading the Assassins
* Ending can be something positive where the Templars are driven out of the Homestead in bitter defeat, some of their higher ranking members dead. Or completely dark, with Achilles and the recruits dead... and Connor mentally and physically broken - begs his father to kill him.
