- After a bank robbery turns violent, Abbie and Ichabod embark on a hunt for a mysterious silver coin that has more power than meets the eye. Meanwhile, Captain Frank Irving is put in a position where he must choose between his family and the greater good and the Mills' sisterly bond is put to the utmost test.—Jiilo_Kim
- Henry Parish finishes making a wood model of Tarrytown Psychiatric Hospital.
Meanwhile, Abbie and Crane pull up to visit Captain Irving. They're told by the woman at the desk that they've been barred from seeing Irving by his lawyer, Henry. They just missed him. He took a cab.
Crane hopes that Katrina can shed some light on Henry's plans, but Abbie is dubious.
The new captain Reyes is lurking nearby when Jenny is released from jail. Abbie found a judge to give her community service for the weapons charges. Reyes gently threatens Jenny, saying she doesn't want to see her end up like her mother, who was also in Tarrytown.
Abbie and Crane park outside the address where the cab took Henry -- a bank. Crane sees two men holding hands at a restaurant and asks if something is OK now. Abbie gives a reasoned answer about the right to same sex marriage, but Crane clarifies he was asking about a man wearing his hat indoors. He knows all about same sex rights, he watched the finale of "Glee."
They watch Henry leave the bank and then hear a gunshot come from inside. Abbie calls it in and run inside to see a teller she recognizes holding people hostage and demanding money, with the security guard shot on the floor. A dark pall passes over her face a few times. Abbie is trying to reason with her, when suddenly the teller is shot dead -- by Sheriff Reyes. A single coin rolls out of the teller's hand.
Abbie comes out, sure that Henry was responsible for whatever came over the teller. She wants to stop it from happening again.
A nerdy looking young man leaves the bank, with the same pall over his face. He's carrying the coin.
Later in the archives, Abbie watches surveillance footage of Henry visiting the teller. He exchanged coins for cash and the teller pocketed one. Crane recognizes the use of a coin in a plot George Washington stopped. Then he remembers Benedict Arnold turning traitor quickly and ruthlessly after coming into contact with the coins.
At home with the coin, the nerdy make makes a bomb.
At the wooded estate, Katrina eavesdrops on Henry and Abraham. She has gotten Abraham to ask Henry why he's not allowed to leave the estate while Henry comes and goes as he pleases. Henry cautions Katrina not to plant ideas in Abraham's head (so to speak) which could be dangerous for him.
Jenny joins Abbie and Crane in the archives and suggests they talk to a man she knows named Hawley who knows about rare supernatural artifacts.
Jenny uses Abbie's log in to access Reyes' files and discovers Reyes is the one who put their mother in the psych ward. Their mother Lori ended up killing herself, which is why they were in foster care when Moloch found them. Abbie ends up defending Reyes, saying she was doing her job.
Crane and Abbie find Hawley down on the docks, where he refuses to give them information unless they take him along. Crane dismisses him as a profiteer, so Hawley volunteers that the coin was probably a Tyrian shekel, from the Roman Empire. Crane recognizes that as the same type in the chest Benedict Arnold opened -- 30 pieces of silver, just like what Judas received in the Bible for betraying Jesus.
They think Henry is trying to recruit people.
Meanwhile, the nerd has delivered flowers to his father's shop, blasting his dad to smithereens.
Back in his shop, Henry has finished a full model replica of Sleepy Hollow.
Later, the bomber Dave Webster is in custody. Crane and Abbie see Webster on the bank security footage, with the shadowy pall over his face. The evidence log says Webster had a quarter on him -- the shekel.
In the station, Abbie is stopped by Reyes for accessing her personnel file. Abbie asks her about having her mom committed, when her mom really should have gone to prison for trying to kidnap Abbie and Jenny. Reyes says she thought their mom could get help in psych.
Reyes tells Abbie that the bomber's lawyer is there -- it's Henry Parish.
Crane confronts him, saying they won't let him turn anyone else with the coin. Henry argues it doesn't turn anyone, just brings out what's already there. He promises more demonstrations.
Reyes confronts Crane to kick him out the station. She also mentions not being able to find any evidence that Crane exists. He promises to bring her ID.
In the evidence room, Abbie finds that Henry was already there and got the coin.
Jenny is scrubbing graffiti when suddenly she sees the coin on the sidewalk next to her. Henry smiles from across the street. Jenny picks it up and immediately starts thinking that Abbie was never on her side and it's time to take her out.
Later, Crane and Abbie meet with Hawley in a bar. When Crane is carded he goes on a rant about having fought for freedom and now having none of his own. And, also, not having any ID. Hawley tells them Jenny came to see him for a weapon and made off with one of his high powered rifles. They presume she has the coin and is gunning for Abbie. Hawley interjects, asking what they'll do if they get the coin from Jenny to keep it from affecting them.
He takes them to a church. There's a legend that the only thing that protects against the coin is consecrated glass -- stained glass from the window. When a priest interrupts them, Crane says he has to confess.
Abbie goes to the precinct and asks the deputy at the desk to trace Jenny's lo-jac. The deputy mentions Reyes is looking for Abbie, but is out hunting with a state official, trying to get funding for the department.
In confession killing time, Crane says his son abhors him and his wife is living with another man. When he hears breaking glass, he rejoins Hawley and leaves.
The deputy gets the lo-jac on Jenny's car and finds she's on the way to the forest where Reyes is hunting.
Abbie, Crane and Hawley head to the forest, when Crane cautions Abbie against trusting Hawley. As they're discussing whom to trust, Crane notes Abbie doesn't seem to include Katrina. She's not betting on a mother turning against her son.
In the estate with Abraham, Katrina gets a cool reception from him after her talk with Henry. She points out to Abraham that Henry has moved back into Frederick's Manor, his boyhood home. She thinks it means Henry is still connected to her.
Meanwhile, out in the woods, the trio finds Jenny about to take aim at Reyes. Crane distracts the sheriff with a pinecone with Hawley approaches Jenny and Abbie blocks Jenny's shot. Jenny knocks her down but Hawley and Crane converge on her.
Abbie tries to talk to Jenny, arguing that Reyes might know more about their mother. She urges Jenny to use her rage to keep the dark forces from beating them again. When Crane sees Jenny consider, he tackles her.
Jenny drops the coin, but then Abbie sees it on the ground and seems about to be overtaken. Crane kicks the coin -- right onto the piece of glass Hawley is holding.
When the dust settles, Crane turns to thank Hawley, but he's gone.
Back at the psych ward, Crane goes to see another patient and waits until Iriving sees him. Crane tells Irving about Irving's lawyer banning him, "because he is the Horseman of War. He is also my son and many other things."
Crane tells Irving not to trust Henry, but Irving says Henry is getting him out. Crane assures him if Henry wants him out, the safest place for Irving is locked up.
At the station, Reyes gives Abbie her mother's records from Tarrytown.
Later in the bar, Abbie reads the transcripts with Crane. They're full of mentions of demons. Abbie realizes their mother was protecting her and Jenny from Moloch and his minions. She held out until it was just too much for her and she took her own life.
Crane tells Abbie that after Benedict Arnold's escape from capture, he fought for the British for a year. They encountered each other once on the battlefield and Arnold let Crane live. He knew Arnold regretted giving in to his darkness.
Abbie notices Hawley come in. He's interested in the 29 other coins still out there, but keeping the one for now. Hawley leaves Crane with something -- a forged passport. Abbie thinks it means they can trust Hawley for now. As Crane talks about allegiances, we see Irving pacing in Tarrytown, trying to decide what to do. In his boyhood home, Henry looks at the bed where he was born -- and then uses his powers to incinerate it. He watches it burn, apparently not feeling much of a connection to anything.
