Okay, let me recap the endingbefore my fucking brain explodes.
MAJOR SPOILS AHEAD
The central decision point of the game is whether Booker decides to cleanse himself of his sins (during the war) by the baptism. In alternate realities, if he decides to go through with it, he becomes a religious fanatic and the villian, Comstock, creating the dystopic reality where Columbia is created and he takes Booker's daughter Anna, renaming her Elizabeth.
Lucete in the normal reality is "bad", hired by Comstock to take Anna. Lucete in the dystopic reality is "good", hires Booker to rescue Elizabeth from Comstock.
Since Booker and Comstock are the same person, it's apparent that it's impossible to smother Comstock before he was born, in a literal sense, but in a figurative sense it becomes possible. Elizabeth drowns Booker at the baptism, cutting off Comstock's timeline as well as ending the existence of Elizabeth, but leaving Anna alive.
I hope I got this right, did I?

"I take yall diss as endearment - I love it when I hear it
Maybe words offensive - free speech I don't fear it
Maybe music can take us to a place so atmospheric
Beyond our greatest imagination, illuminatin' experience
If we open our ears and close our inhibitions, it's clear"
