An art restorer encounters a supernatural canvas that is bleeding and that's all the introduction we get until it's Abigail giving some sort of pep talk to Ichabod who is going to go out on a date with Katrina. What even is this show anymore? They go on the date at some sort of fancy even going on with Sleepy Hollow's historical society in which the group is celebrating their most recent acquisition: a treasure trove of various objects that once belonged to John and Abigail Adams. They meet Grant Hollister, the art restorer seen earlier, who still has blood on his hands though Katrina thinks it's merely paint. He pulls Ichabod aside, looking awfully anxious, but gets pulled away before he can say much. Katrina experiences a flashback and senses some sort of dark presence, which she informs Ichabod of. He says they must keep their eyes open since Grant had just tried to warn him about something.

Abbie's back at the station, hard at work, when who should come waltzing in but back-from-the-dead Irving!

Ichabod and Katrina's night is interrupted when Grant Hollister is discovered to be dead and strung up by his feet. Then Abbie calls Ichabod to tell him about Irving being back and alive. Reyes and company arrive on scene to investigate the murder and Reyes lets it slip to Katrina that she didn't know Ichabod had a wife, since he never mentioned her… (this is where we collectively sip our tea)

Ichabod and Katrina realise that Grant's body has been arranged to look like a Tarot deck's Hanged Man card. His murder is also identical to a series of murders from 1781. Also, Abigail Adams had been investigating this series of murders in which the killer had targeted orphans and habitually sliced them across the carotid artery.

Abigail speaks with Irving and explains that his soul belonged to the Horseman of War, which may account for his return. Irving says that he was lost, looking for a door and searching for her. Abbie is understandably cautious about his return and that she can't risk what happened again, referring to Andy. Abbie says she'll let his wife Cynthia know but for now, Irving will remain in custody until they can find some more answers.

Ichabod and Katrina examine a painting and find that there is fresh blood on the knife being held by the artist in it. They had speculated that perhaps the killer was a surgeon, but an artist would also have an understanding of human anatomy. The painting is a self-portrait of the artist. When they turn back to the painting, they find the artist looking back at them. They speculate that Grant had accidentally activated the painting while he was restoring it.

The murderer is a painter named James Colby, who was a relatively poor artist. He descended into vagrancy, and disappeared without a trace in 1782. He drains the victims of their blood in order for him to paint the inverted cross so he may resurrect himself. So he must now take another victim. They head back to the painting and find that he is missing. They determine his next victim and set off to find him.

Abbie shares the news of Frank being alive with Jenny, who is happy that he is returned. Jenny tells Abbie that things were different with Andy, since Andy had made a deal whereas Frank went to prison to protect his family. Abbie is still skeptical but they still don't know how to proceed. Abbie is prepared to put Irving back in the ground if he's not back in his honourable form. They must find an artefact that they can keep handy in case they need to do so. They both admit that they don't want to have to kill him, though. While Jenny goes off in search of one, Abbie relays the news of Frank's resurrection to Cynthia. Cynthia must keep quiet about this until they can learn more. Cynthia wants to see him, just as Frank wants to see her, but Abbie apologetically says that it's just too dangerous until they can figure out if Irving poses a threat.

Ichabod tracks down the next would-be victim and learns that he and Grant have both heard the painting speaking, wanting blood. Katrina catches a glimpse of Colby, with a knife in hand and covered in blood.

Jenny has been sent to retrieve a gun and some magic bullets after getting the information from Hawley, who thankfully we don't have to see or hear. Unfortunately, the corpse Jenny digs the bullets out of comes back to life until she puts one of the bullets back into the corpse. Hawley was too useless to share that piece of information but our girl was clever and quick enough to survive the encounter.

Ichabod is unable to stop the final victim before he gets sucked into the painting, where Colby promptly strings him up. Ichabod notes that there's fractures in the frame that appear to be deliberate. They are runes that were carved to keep the killer trapped. Katrina finds a journal belonging to Abigail, in which she learns that Abigail had figured out Colby was the killer. Abigail allowed herself to be captured, but she had hired Reverend Knapp to help entrap Colby in the painting. Why couldn't they just outright kill him? Or destroy the painting?

Ichabod decides he must go into the painting after Colby. Somehow, Katrina manages to successfully perform a spell without even painting! She is determined to go into the painting with Ichabod, which they do.

Irving is being transferred to a holding cell. Jenny brings the bullets to Abbie but says that she still firmly believes that Irving isn't a monster. The medical practice didn't turn up anything unusual but it's Irving's soul that Abbie is most concerned about. We also learn that Jenny and Abbie both aren't big fans of Katrina but they think that perhaps she should be the one to do a magical examination of Irving to determine if anything else is wrong.

Ichabod and Katrina are inside the house inside the painting. They manage to locate the historical society's curator, Miller, and together get him out of the painting. He's bleeding out but he's still alive for now. Katrina performs the spell to get them out but Colby is restored and ready to follow, which he does. They realise they must destroy the painting. Ichabod tries to pour some paint thinner on the painting but that's precisely when Colby comes out of the painting and sends Ichabod flying back. Just when he's about to attack, who should show up but the glorious Leftenant herself, Abbie Mills! She fires a shot at Colby, but it doesn't kill him, simply slowing him down instead. Ichabod tells her to shoot the painting, which she does and then it's lights out, Colby.

Miller will survive, Reyes is mad at Abbie for disobeying orders to not speak to Frank Irving, and Ichabod tells Abbie he believes she was right to speak to him. He's grateful she arrived when she did with those enchanted bullets and she teases him for not calling/texting before jumping into a magic painting. And in this all-too-brief Ichabbie moment, there is more chemistry than any of the painful Katrina nonsense being shoved in our face all night. The writers try to put some sort of progression in Ichabod and Katrina's relationship by having a positive (?) interaction between the two at the end but its' hard to pay attention and pretend like any of what's being said isn't nonsense.

Back at the station, Abbie tries to apologise to Reyes. Reyes understands that Abbie is loyal to Irving and says that the DA just called and that there's been evidence recovered that will exonerate Irving and he will be able to go free. Abbie looks concerned, as she has yet to determine if Irving is a threat or not.

The Witnesses abscond with a motorcycle to get to Frederick's Manor, Sword of Methuselah in hand. They also discover that Henry's places of attack form a pentagram, naturally. Henry wants to unleash a demon army in the centre of it. But first let's save the eternal damsel-in-distress Katrina who is still as useless as ever. Ichabod opts not to kill Headless because perhaps he has some useful information to offer up. So Floptrina extends the spell from her necklace by saying "Extendus." Literally.

Abraham tells the Witnesses + Floptrina that the sword will steal the soul of anyone who uses it to kill evil (a soul for a soul, I guess). They bring Abraham back underground and Katrina chains him up and tries to flirt more information out of him on whether this intel is true. Sure. Meanwhile, Jenny is the one to actually get work done and finds that Abraham's information is true. So it's time to call Irving back so he can be the one to wield it. And we're subjected to yet another round of Floptrina telling Ichabod that Moloch is the real threat instead of Henremy with all of his evil doings.

The gang finds Irving who left a coded message. When did he have time to learn trivia on the Revolutionary War? Sword in hand, Irving threatens Abraham into sharing the information that Henry is planning to merge Purgatory with their world by using the four white trees, the same place where Henry rose. Each trunk will be burned and when the last is complete, the ritual will be complete. Then they run off and leave Headless alive. Because. Reasons. They also summon the even more useless, Hawley, and have him babysit Headless. Never have we ever wanted a supernatural meteor to strike and destroy everything in its path. But even though there's apparently NO TIME for Irving to say goodbye to his family (seriously? Not even a phone call? A voicemail? A bloody text message?), we're given the agonising plot point of Ichabod and Katrina bickering and deciding they're on a break. You're breaking my heart with how bad this season is, is more like it.

Cue a bit of action and mystical zombie fighting, and let's just skip to the part where Irving destroys the War-bot but ends up mortally wounded as a result. That's right, folks, Irving has been sidelined this whole damn season just to be brought back to be killed because those precious few minutes of his screen time he was taking up in the few episodes he was present in surely aren't important as the Crane family drama. Of course we're kidding. This is the worst plot point yet on an already terrible season. To add insult to injury, they try to write in that Katrina's trying to help save him. When has she ever accomplished a damn thing?

They prepare to fall on the sword, so to speak, to ensure that Moloch is killed. Henry appears to have begun questioning his loyalty to Moloch and briefly appears as if he'll buy into Ichabod's heartfelt plea, noting how Ichabod never gave up on him. But then he starts strangling Ichabod and literally none of us are surprised. Henry brings the four people out to Moloch who is waiting in the woods. Moloch orders Henry to kill Katrina and before we can even begin to shout "DO IT," Ichabod is screaming that he should be sacrificed instead. So now all of a sudden, Henry has a change of heart and uses the sword to stab Moloch instead so he is sent up in a fiery explosion. And we just. don't. give. a damn.

Sleepy Hollow airs on Mondays on FOX at 9PM and will return on January 5.

Ichabod and Abbie are playing Heads Up because Abbie says they need to distract their conscious brains so their subconscious can crack the case since they're stuck. Katrina calls on a mirror phone to announce yet another of her failures. Moloch is still alive and she has failed to dispose of him. Now he's too strong to be taken out that easily. Katrina hears someone coming so she hangs up, but not really since Henry uses the mirror phone to eavesdrop on Ichabod and Abbie who use their phenomenal teamwork to decode a message in Grace Dixon's journal to determine that there is a weapon that can kill Moloch. There's a map that closely resembles Benjamin Franklin's "Join or Die" cartoon in which the snake's tongue is the "X" that marks the spot.

Henry has been spying on this whole thing so he sends Abraham after them to get the sword first. Also, Jenny gives Irving a burner phone and a map for him to use after he jumps out her car, something he must do to avoid being caught at a checkpoint. They make plans to meet up later while Ichabod and Abbie head to the ruins on the map, which Abbie recognises from her dream of her mother. Abraham beats them to the spot and Abbie takes off after him to try to keep him from finding the sword first. Ichabod helps just in time with the rising sun that sends Headless, something which he predicted with the help of a phone app.

Through some flashbacks we learn that Katrina has been manipulating Ichabod onto this path of "destiny" since they first met. Before this, he had been perfectly content to be on the path his father and others had paved out for him. Ichabod and Abbie use the extra day to get a head start on finding the sword. Abbie keeps Ichabod focused and they find a door hidden beneath some easily movable bricks. Unfortunately for our favourite Witnesses, the sword is being guarded by a gorgon (Medusa) that turns its victims to stone if they lay eyes on it. Abbie is distraught when she sees that one of the statues is a Dixon woman (one of her ancestors). She gets her focus back and realises that Headless can fight her because he doesn't have a head (and therefore has no eyes to lay on her).

Irving leaves a voicemail for Jenny to apologise and thank her for her help but he will not run and hide. He will stay underground but will keep fighting too. As for Henry, he chides Katrina for her humanity being her weakness. He knows about her didn't-go-through-with-it attempt on Moloch's life and decides to lift the enchantment so she can see precisely what it is she saved. He also shows her his evil shofar and says it has signalled "the start of wars for eons."

Night falls and our Witnesses wait for Headless to come and fight the gorgon, after which they'll search for the Sword of Methuselah. The plan sets off just as they had planned it. Abbie then heads off to search for the sword while Ichabod fights Abraham. Ichabod is amazed that he can see Abraham. The chamber is enchanted so that people are shown in their truest form. They fight both physically and verbally. Ichabod blames Abraham for having chosen Moloch while Abraham blames Ichabod for stealing Katrina away but Abraham also gloats that he will have his bride soon enough.

Abbie finds the chamber is full of swords and upon picking one up, it and all the others turn to snakes that escape by slithering away into the walls. Abraham catches up to Ichabod who had come to check on Abbie. They all believe that perhaps the sword was simply a legend. But Abraham is called away by the Shofar of War. It would seem that the battle is indeed about to begin. After Abraham leaves, Ichabod and Abbie are able to work together to uncover the sword, as they can see themselves most clearly through each other's eyes. As for Henry, he's standing with the two Horseman and a fully grown Moloch and they are ready to get the apocalypse going.

Abbie has a nightmare of her mother singing her a song from childhood. It's foggy, with torches, and her cloaked mother warns her of demons. When Abbie wakes, Ichabod has showed up sick. Abbie tells him to rest up, hydrate, and go to sleep. Abbie shares her Purgatory dream with Ichabod and they note how the demons that tortured her explained much of the problems Abbie had with her mother. Abbie gets a call about a case and leaves Ichabod to rest up.

Reyes tells Abbie that there have been cases of strange "suicides" at Tarrytown Psychiatric Hospital at which her mother died and Irving is now being held. Abbie brings Jenny along as she was also a resident there and knows the facility. A patient named Walter attempts to approach them but a nurse intervenes.

Abbie meets with Irving, who knew the first patient that killed himself. Irving says that this patient, Nelson, was doing well and staying on his meds. None of the suicides appeared to have proper motivations. Irving says that he wasn't the one who did this and that for now, he still has control of his own actions even though Henry holds his soul.

Jenny recounts to Abbie a time she tried to visit their mother at Tarrytown but was unsuccessful, since her mother was dragged away by orderlies. Abbie admits that she thought that she herself would end up in the hospital like their mother and wants to know why she was chosen as a Witness. They look over surveillance footage of Nelson from the night of his death. They spot something in the corner and upon putting the night vision onto the footage, they see the apparition of their mother.

They form the theory that Abbie's mother is killing the patients but they must figure out why. Hawley shows up and brings Ichabod some drugged soup to put him to sleep. Hawley offers up his assistance and goes with Abbie back to Tarrytown.

Henry struggles to cope with Katrina's maternal behaviour towards baby Moloch, despite the fact that it was his idea for her to tend to it. Apparently hundreds of years wasn't enough to make him grow up and get a clue. The demonic baby feeds on Katrina's neck and she has a vision of the events that led to the baby's arrival but carries on with her actions anyway.

Abbie and Jenny and knock-off Indiana Jones intercept a patient in his attempt to kill himself. Abbie's mother appears and quickly disappears along with Abbie. Abbie ends up in an old wing that hasn't been used in years and encounters Nurse Lambert.

Katrina finally realises what's going on and the discolouration of her skin so she goes outside and collects some Devil's Breath to try to kill the baby.

Abbie is reunited with Jenny and promises that they will do everything together. They then look over some security footage of their mother who is saying that Nurse Lambert is behind everything but the orderly is saying that Nurse Lambert isn't real. While they determine that she is the one behind the deaths, Nurse Lambert is giving Frank some pills which lead him to try to kill himself via drowning. Once he has settled down, Frank says he wants to help Abbie but now that the orderlies will think he's a suicide risk, they'll have to do it without him.

Abbie and Jenny determine that Nurse Lambert was a nurse in the 1950s that went on a mercy killing spree. Abbie and Jenny head to their mother's old cell and begin chipping away at the plaster on the wall and find drawings from their mother and the lyrics to "You Are My Sunshine," which remind Jenny of a time that she almost died when she and her mother were in a parked car in the garage with the exhaust running.

Abbie comforts Jenny and then their mother appears, bringing a message of a hex they can use to banish evil. It's in a journal passed on from their ancestors that contains powerful magic. Nurse Lambert steals Abbie away. Jenny is told by her mother to get the journal while she will save Abbie. Nurse Lambert tries to kill Abbie but Mama Mills intervenes. Jenny has found the journal and recites an incantation to banish Lambert. Lambert is in a face-off with Lori Mills but Lori declares she is not scared of her anymore. The evil Nurse is vanquished.

Jenny finds Abbie and gets her free. Abbie says that they're both gone but is disappointed that she didn't get to thank her mother for saving her. Jenny says there might be a way. She prepares a ritual and Crane shows up to witness it take place. The incantation is recited by the group and Lori appears. Abbie asks why she was chosen and Lori tells her she must fight. She reveals how she fought after she had passed out in the car from the exhaust. She started the car and crashed backwards through the garage door despite a demon being present. Jenny realises that her mother saved her. Lori tells them that Moloch sent Lambert to finish her off after she was locked up. It's a tearful reunion. Lori tells them to use the journal to fight Moloch and tells Abbie she was meant to win this war. The Mills sisters want to free their mother but she tells them they already did. She disappears while the sisters plead with her not to go. Ichabod tells them that she left them a fitting legacy.

The Mills sisters and Ichabod and Hawley&Oats are driving away when they nearly hit Frank, who has escaped from the hospital. He is back and ready to help.

Katrina prepares some Devil's Breath and recites an incantation to ensure that it will be effective in killing baby-Moloch. When she goes to the crib, she is reminding herself that he is a demon but she finds the crib is empty. When she goes downstairs, she discovers that baby-Moloch is now child-Moloch.

This week's Big Bad is a Succubus. She's been stealing the life forces from unsuspecting folks and giving them to Henry, who is storing them in a magical container. Abraham and Henry are butting heads. Abraham wants to go after Katrina but Henry says he cannot, as Moloch does not command it. Katrina is able to help Ichabod and Abbie by giving them a lead on the case of the victim based on some markings on the victim. This leads them to believe they're after a creature that sucks a person's life force dry. Katrina doesn't feel well, having a headache from a vision of a demon baby in a crib, and asks if they have any quince tea to help her nerves. Apparently Abraham gave her some when she was ill and this makes Ichabod uncomfortable to say the least.

Abbie determines that the first victim was getting busy when he was killed and this helps her to crack the case: it's a succubus. While Team Witness is forming a plan to track it, the Succubus is seducing Hawley by coming to him closely resembling Abbie. (The Succubus comes to its victims in a manner resembling the person they most closely desire. Abbie and Ichabod show up just as Hawley's being fed on. Hawley holds her off by burning her with a Maelstrom Crystal and she runs off after also being shot at. Ichabod figures out that Hawley is interested in Abbie but refrains from telling her outright.

Katrina has another vision and tells Ichabod and Abbie about it, leading them to determine that she's seeing inside Frederic's Manor. Once she starts to focus, she shares what she has learned. The Succubus is giving these souls to Henry and feeding them to the baby that was inside Katrina last week. Baby Moloch is alive and well. Katrina and Abbie get into an argument over Katrina's irrational insistence that Henry is still good while Abbie rightfully points out that she is a Witness and has been fighting this fight longer than Katrina.

Team Witness researches the Succubus and finds that she cannot be killed until her heart, which is kept outside of her body, is destroyed. Abbie had put a trace on Henry's computer and determines that the heart is being kept in a nearby cemetery. Katrina will destroy it but Abbie must go with her, at Ichabod's request. Because apparently he deep-down knows how incapable his wife is of looking after herself.

Ichabod will go to the nightclub she first struck at because Succubi follow circular feeding patterns. Hawley will go with him for no fathomable reason and both Jenny and Frank are nowhere to be seen this episode because apparently they're less important than wannabe-Indiana-Jones. Ichabod gives a brief speech to Hawley, wanting to know if his intentions with Abbie are honourable. Of course they're not; this sleezeball was just hooking up with her sister. They find the Succubus lurking about and Ichabod goes after her. When he meets her, she appears to resemble Katrina but she also tells him that he has doubt in him.

When Abbie and Katrina reach the cemetery and find the vase holding the heart, they both see different things inside of it. Katrina sees rats, Abbie sees maggots, but Katrina is too weak and incompetent to buckle down and reach in so Abbie is the one to get the heart out. Where is this Badass Witch we supposedly have on this show? Katrina performs the incantation while Ichabod has stabbed the Succubus but to no avail. She starts to feed on Ichabod while Abbie has to finish the spell because Katrina fell back. Why is Nicole Beharie not the top-billed star on this show? Abbie Mills is the only one that seems able to get anything done around here.

Hawley saves Ichabod from being fed on and they fend her off till the heart is destroyed and they're able to kill her. They appear to be on better terms with one another now. Hawley's just a creep anyway. He only agreed to help Ichabod in the first place to get a lock of Abbie's hair. Like I said, creep. As for Katrina, she decides that the best course of action is to return to Abraham/Henry. Ichabod decides to trust his wife and hope for the best. Abraham appears emotionally moved to have Katrina back and brings her to Henry and the baby. Problem is, that magical necklace is making her see the demonic baby as a normal human one, and made her feel an attachment to it.

Katrina dreams of being in bed with Ichabod until it turns to a nightmare and she wakes in pain, still feverish after Henry infected her with that spider.

Ichabod complains to Abbie about the midterm elections and how things were better before. She calls him out for the fact that she wouldn't have been able to vote in ye olden colonial times and throws in a sly reminder that she is paying for all of his expenses. Ichabod further gets in trouble for trying to sway Abbie's votes.

Abraham is concerned for Katrina's health and assures her that he is not the cause of it. Henry arrives with some henchmen to take Katrina away. Henry tells Abraham that he is there at Moloch's command and Moloch has a new purpose for her. They move to take Katrina away and Abraham pleads to speak to Moloch himself. Katrina pleads for Abraham's help but when he tries to help her, Henry slows him down by opening a window and exposing him to the sun. He gets back and tries to help again by throwing an axe at one of the henchmen but Henry stops him again. Katrina is able to fight off a henchman and get away, heading to a gas station where a man asks if she is alright.

Abbie gives Ichabod an I Voted sticker, which makes him feel a bit better. Reyes shows up and Ichabod notes that Abbie has been excluded from her plans as of late. Some other officers arrive and tell Ichabod and Abbie that a red-headed Jane Doe was brought to a hospital. They head there and find her in a bed with a fever and an infection. Katrina wakes and tells them what has happened and begins screaming in pain. They examine her stomach and find black veins spreading fast across her skin.

The nurses have taken Katrina's clothes so they steal some skinny jeans and a corset and the show sexualises the absolute hell out of Katrina. Ichabod and Katrina head back to the lair while Abbie says she will tail the henchmen that have just arrived at the hospital.

Katrina talks about seeing something with the head of a goat. Ichabod realises this is the symbol of the Hellfire Club, a batch of evil scientists that were routing for evil in the Revolutionary War. Ichabod becomes alarmed to learn of Headless being "Abraham" and Katrina's conversing with him. Ichabod still doubts Katrina because of all her secrets, though she says she isn't keeping anything else from him. Right.

Abbie has followed the henchmen to a warehouse and sneaks inside after them, snapping some photos of the inside, a tablet, and almost getting caught when she bumps into a cadaver. She snaps some more photos before sneaking out and relays her findings to Ichabod and Katrina. The markings on the cadaver matched Katrina's markings now. Ichabod reads about this condition and finds that Katrina is pregnant and has 10-12 hours to live from the time she was first infected.

Ichabod figures out that the poison Henry obtained is the source of this pregnancy and hypothesise that a demon is growing inside Katrina. The warning hex Katrina had performed flares up, indicating that Henry and his men are on their way. The group escapes into the tunnels and end up in St Henry's Parrish. Katrina thinks they should get in touch with Henry, believing he can and could be the one the remove the demon. She blames Moloch for this evil and is insistent that they can save Henry. Ichabod admits he hasn't lost all faith and Abbie tells them they're making the wrong decision and they shouldn't let their feelings get involved. Ichabod admits the odds are stacked against them and that Henry is their only option.

Ichabod has Irving call Henry so the two of them can talk at the hospital. Abbie is still with Katrina, who screams out in pain as her belly begins to grow to a swollen pregnant size. In both places, the parties figure out that it's no mere demon growing inside of Henry but Moloch himself. Katrina proposes killing herself, since Moloch will not be able to rise if his vessel is dead. Abbie tells her they will find another way. Ichabod tries to appeal to Henry and offers him the opportunity to come back to them but Henry chooses Moloch. As Henry is leaving, Ichabod touches him and gets a vision of Henry as a child, running through the woods and screaming for help.

Ichabod returns to the church where Katrina tells him to have faith and not give up on their son. Abbie looks over a photo of the tablet the Hellfire Club had and Ichabod notes how the distortion resemble the northern lights. He recalls a paper in which Benjamin Franklin proposed that the lights could banish demons. Further research and a cracked code reveals that there is a stone inside the tablet that if held up to the sun and beamed onto Katrina could banish Moloch.

Abbie and Ichabod realise they need an army to get back into that warehouse so Abbie comes up with the idea to go to Reyes with their information and spin it as a doomsday cult. Ichabod provided "consultation" because of its historical origins. Since the cult are in possession of illegal firearms and perform horrific torture, they will be worth apprehending. The team goes in and a shootout ensues while Abbie and Ichabod head back to steal the tablet. Ichabod needs to crack a passcode while Abbie unleashes her inner badass to cover his back. He can't crack it until Abbie tells him to try "666." Ichabod and Abbie are about to leave but first Reyes tells Abbie that she sees why Corbin always spoke so highly of her. She also tells Ichabod to be in touch.

Katrina communicates to Ichabod over the walkie-talkie he left her to say that Moloch is coming. Abbie is left to play Mammy and it's ghastly to watch, while Ichabod at the last minute gets to play hero by smashing the tablet, getting the stone, cracking a window, and shining the light onto Katrina, thus preventing Moloch from being born into this world. Katrina isn't breathing so Ichabod performs CPR and Katrina comes back to life. Abbie heads outside to give them some time alone.

Ichabod comes out to see Abbie after Katrina falls asleep. He says that he feels joy he hasn't felt in an age but Abbie and him both agree that this was too close of a call. Abraham will stop at nothing to get Katrina back. Ichabod still thinks he can reach Henry, after having that vision of Henry as a child, and Abbie doesn't think this is a good idea but for now, can't seem to convince him otherwise. She offers up a fist-bump, which Ichabod blows up. He's learning, people!

A storm is brewing and lighting strikes a chord connected to a jar, causing a red light and black smoke to form inside it. Henry watches and smiles.

Abbie teaches Ichabod some yoga and he takes offence to the word "buns." She also gets him to open up and admit how hurt he is by all that Katrina had kept hidden from him. They decide to head out and grab a beer instead. While out, they encounter some men getting into a fight and Abbie goes to break it up. She finds that one of the men is Joe Corbin, Sheriff Corbin's son. He's back from Afghanistan, having been dishonourably discharged. He blames her for the death of his father and tells her to stay away.

Ichabod and Abbie later respond to a call about a noise complaint involving Joe. They head into the woods, where they find multiple dead bodies that have been brutally torn open, with Joe being the only survivor. Joe thinks his father knew something about what's happening with him and expresses jealousy to Abbie over the time his father spent with her instead of him.

Henry pays another visit to Irving, who is still mad about his soul being stolen. Henry tells him he can reclaim it if he kills a man, a soul for a soul. Henry points out another man in the hospital, the man who drove drunk and paralysed Irving's daughter. Irving swears not to kill for vengeance and Henry warns him that those who gaze into the abyss are at risk of the abyss gazing back.

Ichabod hasn't found anything on the creature from the woods in the research he's done but Ichabod believes that Joe may have been responsible for the deaths in the woods. The monster in the woods took human organs and possibly consumes them. Ichabod recalls his time knowing Daniel Boone to bring us to our monster of the week: the Wendigo. Presumably, Joe is a Wendigo. The change is triggered by the scent of human blood and can only be turned back upon consuming human organs.

Ichabod and Abbie learn that Joe has run off again so they head to Corbin's place where they find the Sheriff's last will and testament. They follow the coordinates to a location in the woods where they find Joe digging up a box left for him by his father. Joe tries to run away and when Ichabod accidentally cuts himself, Joe screams at them to run. He transforms into a Wendigo and begins to chase Ichabod. Abbie has broken into Joe's car and snatched up a tranquilliser gun which she uses to subdue WendiJoe.

Ichabod and Abbie bring him back to their hideout where Hawley is waiting and Jenny arrives with some stolen organs which she feeds to WendiJoe, thus allowing him to return to his normal human state. Abbie explains to Joe what he is and says that she can help him. He tells her this began two weeks ago when he received a letter covered in white powder. Ichabod and Abbie realised that Henry sent the letter after grinding up the Pied Piper's Flute. The letter said Joe was cursed and thus Joe returned to find the cure.

Ichabod examines the contents of the box and finds that it is a powerful poison from south China and this is what Henry must be after. If Joe transforms once more, the change will be permanent so they must find a cure before Henry comes looking for the poison. Ichabod apologises to Joe for his son's actions but warns him not to trust Henry. Joe tells Ichabod to make sure he tells his son he loves him no matter what.

Hawley offers up a connection to some Shawnees. (Shawnees were the ones who originated the curse). Hawley tells Ichabod to keep his mouth shut but Hawley has left a bad impression after going back on the terms of a deal so Ichabod is the one that smooth-talks Big Ash into giving them access to their Shman who will help them cure the Wendigo curse.

Abbie has a heart-to-heart with Joe in which she assures him that the Sheriff loved and was proud of him. She also tells him that the Sheriff's love for his son was what made her want to turn her life around, as she wanted to be a part of that. But the nice moment is broken up by Henry, who demands the box. He has henchmen with guns and Jenny draws her own weapon, ready to defend themselves. But Joe surrenders the box and himself, as Henry says he'll cure Joe. Abbie warns him not to go but Joe doesn't listen. Henry's henchmen chain up the vault with Abbie and Jenny still inside. Outside, Henry slices Joe's arm, saying he has cured him of his true curse: humanity.

Irving confronts Gil, the man who paralysed Macy, and is ready to rise above it all and leave him be. But when Gil says one too many insensitive things about Macy, Irving attacks him. He has a vision of the apocalyptic setting like the one he saw in his dream. He leaves Gil alive, but is shaken at his nearly losing himself to darkness.

Ichabod and Hawley free Abbie and Jenny from the vault. Ichabod has a skull and an incantation he must read once he gets some of WendiJoe's blood into the hollowed skull. He also has a spike that can take him down if that does not work. Abbie is determined to save Joe. She and Ichabod head off after him. Abbie cuts her hand to lure Joe and Ichabod insists on doing the same, saying of course he's coming with her. He must atone for the trouble his son has caused, after all. Once they corner WendiJoe, Ichabod recites the incantation but ti doesn't work. Ichabod is ready to take him out but Abbie insists that Joe simply needs more time and pleads with him to come back. With a dramatic convulsion, Joe turns back into a human.

Abbie brings Joe back to the hang-out place where Ichabod is playing video games and unleashing a hilariously Ichabod-brand of name-calling, including the word "buns." Joe asks Abbie for a favour. He wants to carry on the torch of his father helping people so he'd like a letter of recommendation to Quantico. Abbie is more than happy to do so. She gets a call from Irving, who tells her about Henry owning his soul and how he almost killed a man. Abbie tries to assure him that they'll fix this and Irving begs her to not let him down. Ichabod agrees with Abbie that Henry must be stopped but after seeing how she fought for Joe even when he seemed beyond saving, he feels he must fight for his son. Meanwhile, Henry has poured out the contents of the poison and put it back together in the form a black widow spider which we see crawl up into Katrina's mouth. Gross.

Ichabod is hanging with Caroline, a woman from the local reenactment group. She's brought him a whole array of specially made gifts but poor Ichabod becomes flustered upon realising that she has a romantic interest in him. Ichabod tells her he is married and Caroline mistakes Abbie for his wife when she comes in.

Katrina works a spot of magic and writes a letter, which she sends away to be delivered via crow. Abraham comes in to check on her and he becomes suspicious that she might have been practicing magic, but promises that when she is his queen, she will want for nothing. But he wants her to make the choice to be his willingly, though he adds that he won't wait forever. Abraham calls Henry to say that he needs to double-check the spells that are to suppress her magic and will perform a binding if need be. Henry decides to get a bit of magic going by using a book that once belonged to Katrina.

Two teenagers are making out in a car but stop when they hear the sound of someone crying. They then drive off scared when a dark, mysterious entity crashed into the front windshield.

Ichabod has Abbie drive him to Caroline's so he can apologise properly and in person. Caroline appreciates the gesture and agrees to be friends. After Ichabod leaves, Caroline finds a woman all in black crying in what appears to be underwater, despite the fact that it is Caroline's living room. The next morning, Caroline's dead body is found by the river and Ichabod is distraught to have lost one of his few friends. Abbie says that she would have died immediately after they left her place but there's not trace of her body got into the water.

Abbie uses some tracks found near the scene to track down the teenage couple that had witnessed Caroline's assailant. They believe it was the Weeping Lady, a local legend that goes back to Colonial Days. She was jilted by a lover and then drowned before becoming a murderous spirit.

Ichabod receives Katrina's letter and it's all sap but no substance. Abbie runs into Hawley at the library and he apologises for how things went down with the Pied Piper and the flute so he offers to help her and Ichabod next time they need him, free of charge. Hawley heads off and Abbie spots the Weeping Lady, drawing nearer with her weapon drawn. The Weeping Lady attacks and pulls Abbie underwater. Ichabod screams out for Abbie. Abbie briefly surfaces and sees the river around her but Ichabod is able to reach down and pull her back out into the library. Hawley comes back and gives Abbie CPR, which saves Abbie's life.

Ichabod determines from the piece of lace Abbie tore from the Weeping Lady's shawl that the Weeping Lady is a woman he once knew, Mary Wells. Mary had come to Sleepy Hollow to bring Ichabod home and believed them to be close to engaged. Ichabod told Mary he only felt for her a love like that of siblings, and Mary became jealous and emotional, believing Katrina to be the one responsible for Ichabod's apparent change of heart, despite her being engaged to Abraham. Ichabod tells Abbie that he received a letter the next day that said she planned to leave for England but Abbie thinks it likely that she never left Sleepy Hollow at all. Abbie notes that the Weeping Lady had always been a benign spirit but now she has become angry, attacking the women close to Ichabod. Ichabod then finds that Katrina's letter is missing and it's shown to have fallen in the water, where the Weeping Lady begins to read it.

Abbie brings Ichabod along to employ the help of Hawley against the Weeping Lady. He offers up a crossbow with a special bolt filled with basilisk venom. This should be a more effective weapon when they next fight off the Weeping Lady. Meanwhile, Katrina is attacked by the Weeping Lady in her captive home. Ichabod is alarmed to find the Horseman leaving, as it means Katrina is unguarded. He runs inside and finds a black pool of water and the letter Katrina sent floating at the top.

Katrina performs an ounce of magic that allows her to get free from the Weeping Lady's clutches an run into the woods where Ichabod and Abbie find her. Katrina says she can perform dark magic that will release Mary's spirit but needs Abbie's help to recite the incantation. Ichabod meets Mary but angers her by scolding her for being angry and jealous. He shoots her but she extinguishes it and runs right no through him. Katrina and Abbie complete the incantation right as Mary is about to reach them, causing her to collapse on the ground. Ichabod cradles her in his arms, as he tells the others that Mary will not harm him. He asks about the letter and why she is still here. Mary points at Katrina.

Ichabod asks Katrina what Mary meant and Katrina tries to act as if Mary was just crazy but Ichabod demands answers. Katrina is forced to admit that Mary wrote her a letter to insist on meeting privately, where she demanded that Katrina stay away from Ichabod. Mary grew angry and fell to her death, hitting her head on the way down. Katrina performed a spell to forge Mary's handwriting and compose the letter Ichabod received. Ichabod berates Katrina for yet another lie in the already long list of things she has kept from him.

Headless shows up and Abbie tackles Ichabod to keep him from getting axed. Katrina tells Abraham that it was an angry spirit that stole her from his home and implores him to spare Ichabod, who has just saved her life. She then voluntarily goes home with Abraham.

Hawley returns to his boat where Jenny is waiting for him. She propositions him, something that isn't new to them, but he turns her down, believing they should keep their relationship professional. But it's Jenny, who gets the last word in, as she does just enough to rile Hawley up and then leave him frustrated and coffee-less.

Ichabod and Abbie attend Caroline's funeral. Ichabod blames himself for Caroline's death and notes how it's their loved ones that are most in danger. Abbie says that they'll already be in danger if they don't fulfil their duties as Witnesses and defeat Moloch. He also says he doesn't see how a union could survive without trust, referring to his deteriorating relationship with Katrina.

Abraham tells Katrina that he had no part in the summoning of Mary and that he only went to the river because he feared for Katrina's safety. He tells her he isn't happy to see her unhappy and she thanks him.

Henry is scolded by Moloch, who says that Katrina must be kept alive, as she is a chosen vessel and one of the Hellfire Shards. He tells Henry that he is a soldier and a soldier's duty is just to obey.

So Ichabod can drive now, or he's at least learning quickly. He's been practicing with Jenny but Abbie wants him to master this so he can be a master of 21st century skills useful to the battle they're fighting together as Witnesses. Ichabod knows that Abbie is wanting him to be able to take care of himself because she believes she's doomed and he calls her out on it. But he assure her it's not their fate to have one bury the other. They will be victorious or defeated together. The sweet moment is interrupted by Ichabod receiving an Amber Alert, which Abbie explains to him as something they all receive when a child goes missing.

The missing girl is Sarah, the 10-year-old daughter of Abbie's former foster care case worker. Abbie gives her word that they will find Sarah. Ichabod determines that the monster is the Pied Piper, after he plays a flute made of bone that he finds in the woods which causes Abbie to get into a trance-like state. The flute compels people to follow it wherever the player wishes. The Pied Piper was a man from the Colonial era that eventually became a demon.

Ichabod and Abbie record the song from the flute and put it on a loop. They have Abbie listen to it through some earbuds and see where she walks. Ichabod eventually pulls the ear buds out and they find Hawley, who is injured after having had a run-in with the Pied Piper the night before when the girl was kidnapped. He's willing to help Ichabod and Abbie help them find the girl if he can keep the flute, which he plans to sell. Ichabod doesn't like this plan but Abbie says it's fine.

Irving looks through a Bible in the asylum's library. He has a vision of himself looking like an 80s action star, killing officers of the Sheriff's Department in a post-apocalyptic battle at which the Horseman of War is present. When Irving comes out of the vision, the Bible goes up in flames.

Abbie puts the headphones back on and leads the men to the Pied Piper's underground lair. They discover Sarah, who is still alive, and Abbie begins to pick the locks on her restraints. Hawley, who for some reason has gone off on his own, encounters the Pied Piper and is attacked yet again. Ichabod helps fight him off long enough for Abbie to run out with Sarah, Hawley to set some explosives, and Ichabod and Hawley to follow after Abbie and Sarah to escape the blast.

Sarah can't remember how she got to the lair but Abbie assures her things will be okay. Hawley just wants the flute and to run off. Ichabod still has the lowest opinion of Hawley and calls him a "privateer." Hawley only cares about business and profit but isn't interested in saving the world. Abbie goes to give Hawley the flute but snaps it in half first. Hawley takes the pieces and wishes them luck. Abbie and Ichabod return Sarah to her parents.

Ichabod notes how Sarah's mother didn't seem particularly relieved at having her daughter back. This sends Ichabod searching for research. The Pied Piper always stole a daughter from the Founding Family. But if he cannot claim his prize, all the children die through an illness. So under these circumstances, the only way to save the children is to sacrifice one.

Ichabod and Abbie go to find the family and find that all the (adopted) sons are sick with the Piper's curse. Beth is gone and so is her daughter Sarah. Ichabod and Abbie head to the forest where they find Beth preparing to sacrifice Sarah in order to save her other children. Ichabod and Abbie are able to convince Beth to lower her weapon but it's just then the Pied Piper attacks. Abbie fires some shots, causing the Piper to retreat back into his lair.

Abbie tells Ichabod to go down and finish it. Sword in hand, he drops down and puts some noise-cancelling earbuds in. But in the scuffle, they fall out of his head. It looks as if Ichabod is done for, and his ears begin to bleed, but he gets back to fight some more. But in the end, it's Abbie who saves the day, stabbing and killing the Piper with his own staff and declaring, "No more kids."

Henry visits Irving, who tells him he had secured funding for Irving's wife and daughter. It's very clearly a threat, and Irving wants to know what Henry wants. Henry asks if the Witnesses have kept his family safe, or have they only brought suffering to his and his family's wife. Henry tells him to think about it and as he's leaving, Irving asks what he has done to him. As it turns out, Henry stole Irving's soul through that blood pen.

The Witnesses celebrate another victory against the forces of evil with a cup of over-priced coffee. Abbie gets enjoyment out of Ichabod's getting foam into his beard and wipes it off for him. Abbie is happy and Ichabod is ready to get back to work.

The final revelation in tonight's episode is that the buyer of the flute from Hawley is Henry. Hawley doesn't actually see Henry, as a server acts as a third party to pick it up. Hawley does the "honourable" thing in warning the person that the flute is damaged but they don't seem to care, and neither does Henry, as he grinds up the broken pieces, tastes the powder, and declares, "It's perfect."

Abbie and Ichabod try to visit Irving at Tarrytown Psychiatric but learn that they have been barred from doing so by Irving's new lawyer, Henry Parrish. They track him into town and when Ichabod asks about acceptability after seeing two men holding hands inside, Abbie explains about the contemporary political and social shifts in accepting homosexuality. Ichabod then says he was asking about wearing hats indoors (one of the men was wearing a hat), and knows about homosexuality because he served under Baron Von Steubing. He also watched the finale of Glee.

They spot Henry leaving a bank, shortly after which gunshots are heard form inside. Abbie goes in trying to talk the teller down but the woman doesn't listen, forcing Sheriff Reyes to fire the kill shot. The dead teller had also been shown to be exhibiting strange physical symptoms, with darkness flushing through her face. Abbie is upset, telling Ichabod that the woman had always been a kind and gentle employee.

Ichabod and Abbie look over the footage of Henry entering the bank. He had brought coins in for cash and the woman had pocketed one of the coins. Crane shares information about a mission he had been on to get some silver coins that were to be melted down and put back into circulation. Benedict Arnold was one of the soldiers one the mission, who had turned suddenly and ruthlessly, apparently after exposure to these coins.

The coin in question was pocketed by another man from the crime scene. He is shown to be constructing a bomb and using it to detonate his father's flower shop.

Jenny gets into an argument with Abbie over her concealment of the fact that Sheriff Reyes was here when they were younger. Jenny is angry because Reyes' testimony was what got their mother locked up in the same psych ward Jenny ended up in. Abbie says that Reyes was just doing her job. Abbie and Ichabod then go off to meet Jenny's go-to-guy for supernatural artefacts, Nick Hawley. Ichabod doesn't trust him… dare we say that he's jealous? But Nick tells them the coin is like a Tyrian shekel, one of the 30 pieces of silver Judas was paid to betray Jesus.

Abbie and Ichabod determine that these shekel's are roughly the same size as a quarter, so the missing piece may be in evidence. She heads to the office, only to get called over to talk to Reyes, because Jenny had used Abbie's log-in information to access Reyes' file. Abbie tells her that without her testimony, their mother would have likely been sent to prison. Reyes admits that she thought that getting sent to psych would get her the help she needed.

Ichabod meets Abbie at the station, where they see Henry. He tells Ichabod that the coins don't make people turn bad, but magnify the anger already inside them. Reyes then confronts Ichabod for the fact that no record of him exists. He claims that his identification exists at home. Abbie tries to access the coin but finds that it is just a quarter, meaning someone switched it out.

Jenny is doing her community service when she spots a shekel and picks it up. The darkness starts to course through her and we hear her thoughts expressing her anger at Reyes for getting her mother locked up.

Ichabod and Abbie meet Nick at a bar. Icahbod goes into a hilarious rant about how the man on the bottle of the Samuel Adams beer is actually Paul Revere. Nick tells them how Jenny stopped by acting strange and wanting some weapons, one of which she stole. Abbie and Ichabod assume that she is after  Abbie. Nick brings Ichabod to a church that has stain class that can counter the effects of the coin. Abbie heads to the station to get a track on Jenny's phone, which puts her in the same forest in which Reyes is embarking on a hunting trip.

Ichabod, Abbie, and Nick are in the forest. Ichabod doesn't trust Nick but Abbie says they need an ally, since they have so few. Ichabod says they have Katrina, but Abbie doesn't respond. Abbie makes some valid points about how Katrina may not be counted on to turn against her own son, even if he is the Horseman of War.

Jenny is preparing to take out Hawley (from a distance - she has no idea this is going on) but Abbie gets in her path, delivering a great speech about what they've lost and all that she has buried, but if they give in to their anger then they'll never learn what really happened to their mother. Ichabod tackles Jenny to the ground and the coin goes flying. Abbie nearly gets pulled in by it but then Ichabod kicks it, and Nick catches it with the stain glass.

Ichabod figures out a way to get around Henry's loophole. He comes to visit a different patient and while inside, Ichabod meets Irving and relays information about who his lawyer really is. He tells Irving not to trust him and that he is safest inside the psychiatric hospital.

Reyes gives Abbie a file on her mother, which Abbie later looks over in a pub with Ichabod. Based on what she reads, she determines that her mother was tormented by the demons that pursued Abbie and Jenny and trying to protect her daughters drover her mad. Ichabod shares of the final encounter he had with Benedict Arnold when they were fighting on opposite sides but still shared a moment over their history together. Hawley arrives, and Ichabod and Abbie are annoyed with him for running off with the coin. He hasn't sold it because he figures it'll be worth more if he can get the full set. But as a token of goo will, he has brought a fake passport for Ichabod. Ichabod gives a final speech about the importance of trust and how it remains to be seen which side all the players involved will fall on.

Henry is at Frederick's Manor, and glares at the bed he was born on before setting it on fire.
