When I heard this week was a double episode I was surprised, and even more surprised to find it was the season finale.  It seems rare to have just a 13-episode season, especially for a network show.  And throwing the two episodes together seemed a little haphazard, but it actually worked really well. 

The first half was a basic episode, but left enough to want to watch one more.  And the ending of this season was so good and so unexpected, I was floored.  It’s not too often that my jaw drops during a TV show, but it did twice during the last few minutes.  Please keep in mind that this review covers two episodes, so it will be fairly lengthy.  But, enough preemptive reacting, let’s get to the meat and potatoes.

Brooks finds his way into Abbie’s house and tells her that Washington’s bible contains instructions on finding a map that can lead them to a way to stop Moloch.  Moloch cannot use the map, but wants to get it so they cannot use it.  If Abbie gives Brooks the bible, she will be spared and given a spot in Moloch’s clan.

This week’s episode is brought to you by the Denzel Washington suspense film Fallen. It centers around a demon called Ancitif that is harassing Captain Irving and his family. The demon can pass from person to person through touch, just like the demon in the above-mentioned film.  It was a great movie by the way, with a great supporting role played by John Goodman.

 Captain Irving is trying to get answers out of the vendor that spoke to him as a demon in the park. Irving finally realizes that the demon passed from him to an older woman that the man bumped into at the park. The woman is coming in to speak to police when she touches one of the officers, passing the demon to the cop.

 Irving receives a call from within the department from the demon, demanding George Washington’s bible in return for the safety of his daughter Macey.  Irving finds the possessed officer and attacks him, but the demon had already passed to someone new by the time he got to him.

 Irving calls his priest, who urges him to find a safe house.  Irving brings his daughter and wife to a safe house, not realizing that the demon is in one of the two officers helping him lock down the house.  The unidentified officer (to me at least) harboring the demon passes the demon to Morales, who then kills the first officer and enters the safe house.

Crane wants to know why Katrina didn’t tell him she was pregnant. Abbie tells him she probably felt it wasn’t safe to do so. Crane must find out what became of his son. It may play into their quest.

Crane calls Henry Parrish (the Sin Eater) to the cabin to help him contact Katrina. He is unsure if he can do so, as he usually only goes after people’s sins. But he thinks he can bring Crane to the other side to speak to Katrina, though tempting fate can be very dangerous.

As a part of the ritual, Crane must be close to death in order to shorten the time and space between he and Katrina. Henry begins choking Crane, who suddenly finds himself in an old church with a baby carriage, empty save for an old black doll.

Crane demands the truth from Katrina. She tells him that she gave their son, Jeremy, away to Grace and her husband so he would be safe. She sent him off with a doll that she made to always protect him. It was the last time she saw Jeremy. Crane promises to find out what happened to Jeremy and to rescue Katrina from her purgatory. A monster arrives, and Crane awakens back at the cabin. A weird mummy looking thing (my exact notes) falls to the earth near the cabin.

Henry wants to go home, having done more helping than he ever promised to. Abbie guilts him into helping them check out a historical library by bringing up the fact that all three of them have very little family. He agrees to stay, but only for a few hours.

Abbie and Crane attend a local Little League baseball game. Abbie yells at the umpire, and tells Crane how baseball is like life. After the game, Crane insists on walking home, and stops to visit his wife’s grave along the way. He is shot with a tranquilizer dart and abducted.

Abbie is driving home and is thrown into a dream or vision where she is in a very old house. She hears a baby crying, and is then chased by the Horseman. Abbie runs into another room and sees what look to be witches doing spells of some sort.

Katrina appears to Abbie and tells her this is an echo of her and Crane’s house. Katrina knows Crane is in trouble because she cannot sense him, this is why she came to Abbie. Abbie needs to find something called a sin eater to help Crane sever his blood tie to the Horseman. The Horseman will be coming tonight, and she needs to get Crane sanctified before he arrives.

Crane wakes up in and is surrounded by men in suits. (The main man is played by the actor who plays Eric Renard on Grimm).  So he potentially died on Friday night on NBC, and is now on Sleepy Hollow on Fox on Monday. It turns out these men are Freemasons, the same as Crane was.

This episode centers on a Native American dream demon known as Ro’kenhronteys (The Sandman). He visits Abbie in a dream that includes Ichabod Crane and an unknown woman.

Abbie and Crane are called to the scene where a woman is on a ledge high up on a building. Abbie goes to talk to her, and notices that it’s the same woman from her dream. Her name is Maura Vega, and she treated Abbie’s sister Jenny at the first mental hospital she was admitted to. Vega tells Abbie that she always believed Jenny, but did nothing to help her. Vega says that she has had this coming a long time, they all have. She then jumps from the building.

Vega’s eyes were glassed over and all white. When the medical examiner opens her eyes to check, her eye turns to sand. Since this woman had treated Abbie’s sister in the past, Crane wants to talk to Jenny to see if she can help. Abbie explains that their relationship is strained, but Crane insists.

A Revolutionary War battle is going on in Hudson Valley, New York in the late 1700’s. Ichabod Crane is one of the soldiers. He battles a man in a leather mask with a unique tattoo on his hand, and cuts the man’s head off. But not before Crane is wounded in the process.

Crane breaks through the ground and climbs out of what appears to be a makeshift grave. He is inside a cave, and his wound is healed. The top of the cave opens up and Crane climbs out into a park. He ends up on the street, and is fascinated by it. He is almost hit by a truck and a car, with the car swerving off the road. The man gets out of the car, and Crane runs off. We see the sign welcoming us to Sleepy Hollow.

Officer Abbie Mills and Sheriff Corbin are eating in a diner, discussing Mills’ intention to apply at Quantico. He hints that she is trying to run away from something. They are called to a farmer’s house for a report of spooked horses. Abbie goes to check with the owner while Sheriff Corbin heads out to the barn to check on the horses.

The owner isn’t answering the door, and Abbie soon finds him dead near his pickup truck. At the same time, Sheriff Corbin encounters the headless horseman in the barn. The Sheriff shoots the horseman several times, but to no avail. By the time Abbie arrives at the barn, Sheriff Corbin is dead. Abbie sees the headless horseman fleeing into the night on a white horse.
