“Sleepy Hallow” finally returned last night after a brief hiatus. Ichabod ended up being kidnapped by the Freemasons, who are also out to stop the Horseman. We learned it was the Masons that Katrina hid his body from way back when, as they knew killing him even then would also kill the horseman due to their blood link. Most of the show dealt with Ichabod’s past and how he met Katrina and turned on his country to fight for the side of the colonies during the revolution. Basically Ichabod, like Abby and Jennifer, has the gift to see demons as they really are.

Katrina meanwhile came to Abby in a vision to implore her to find a sin-eater to sever the ties between Ichabod and the Horseman. Okay I have to say that Katrina could have picked a better time to come to Abby. She almost got Abby killed sending her a vision while she was driving a car. How would that have helped Ichabod at all?

Renard’s missing brother from “Grimm” turned up as the head of the Masons who kidnapped Ichabod. They gave him poison to drink, and Ichabod did so willingly knowing it was what needed to be done to kill the horseman. However Abby, along with sis Jennifer, managed to find Walter from “Fringe” who was the sin-eater that could help Ichabod. Ichabod was tied to the horseman by a sin he carried around, not their blood. Letting that sin go, the death of someone he blamed himself for, is what freed him from the horseman.

Of course all this was fine and dandy, but now the horseman is back and coming. I was confused here, I thought he was already back? They kept talking like he just woke up tonight?

Also they kept making it a point that Ichabod and Abby are special as they both have the gift to “bear witness” and thus only they can destroy the horseman. Hello, her sister has that gift too I believe? Why is she suddenly left out?

It’s clear that Abby has feelings for Ichabod, and I think that will become a huge problem as I don’t think Katrina is really dead either. I think she’s trapped somewhere as one witch said a few episodes back. Her bones are definitely not in her grave, that’s where they found the horseman’s head.
