You dont have to hold our hands.
As entertaining as it wasNaked Benjamin Franklin!
Ichabod driving an ambulance!
Abbie shooting two guns at once!
Jenny kicking ass and taking names, then kicking the asses of the people whose names she just took!
So lets dig into that cleared throat.
But not, like, in a Dr. CokeFoot kind of way.
Well call this The Scene That Launched A Thousand Shippers.
Naturally, Ichabod just so happens to have been Franklins apprentice.
Anyway: Franklin was actually attempting to destroy said key when he flew that fateful kite.
Because its the key toGehenna, a.k.a.
Thus our main quest is established: Ichabod and Abbie must find the key before Moloch can.
You win some, you lose some.
So now our heroes are even more screwed than they were at the end of the finale.
Thats right: Ichabod is trapped inside of a coffin.
A coffin buried beneath at least six feet of prime, upstate New York soil.
Soil which, evidently, is composed almost entirely of sulfur.
And here comes the boom, followed by Ichabods wildly grasping left hand.
Thats right: Crane didnt just escape being buried alive.
He exploded his way out.
Though Ichabod has escaped his own confinement, the ladies ofSleepy Hollowhavent been so lucky.
I hope you choke on every one of them.
And that poor suckers about to learn why you never leave just one dude to guard Jenny Mills.
(Can we still celebrate Jennys awesomeness now that she has straight-up murdered another human being?
Ehh,Sleepymoves too quickly to leave time for pondering issues like that.)
They use this to glean that the key must be near a statue of Franklin in town.
And so Crane and Jenny finally have the key to rescuing Abbie.
Life moves pretty fast in Sleepy Hollow.
NEXT: Reunited and it feels so good; plus, Doughnut Holes!
Get ready for the fight of the century: Ichabod vs. Ichabod!
We recite the incantation, we return to your sister, he tells her.
Which is when Abbie chops the impostors lying head off.
K, Im taking back that thing I said about Nicole Beharie having nothing to do tonight.
Just another Monday night in Sleepy Hollow.
Have I mentioned that Crane was none too fond of Franklina blowhard, braggart, blatherskite, and gasbag?
He gets in his best line when Abbie mentions old Bens impact on colonial America: Impact?
On the scores of strumpets he crushed beneath his girth, perhaps.
Also, wait: Crane was Franklins apprentice?
Learning… what, exactly?
The art of making pithy quips?
And one more, before this section becomes nothing but Ichabod linesIchabod on Harvard: That place still exists?
According to severalquestionable internet sources, it was also orgy central.
This may or may not come up in future episodes.
Yes,West Wingfans, that was Danny Concannon (a.k.a.
Timothy Busfield) as Franklin.
Expect to see him pop up a few more times this year.
Curse you, opening credits, for spoiling Ghost John Chos surprise appearance!
I feel like thered be a lot less delightful chatter and a lot more dead bodies.
ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?
Should we prepare ourselves for a Beauty and the Beast-style plot here?
