- A seamstress named Caroline fixes up Ichabods coat, thinking its for a re-enactment. She presents him with new shirts, breeches and hoes woven on a loom from ye olde cloth. She also brought him butter she churned last night, ligonberry preserves and a handstitched pillow. Shes moved by his dedication to colonial reenactment and totally has the hots for him. He tells her hes married and she back pedals with embarrassment. When Abbie comes in, Caroline runs off.
Abbie says anyone could tell Caroline had Crane on the brain.
Crane confesses to being worried about Katrina, but Abbie assures her she wouldnt have stayed with the Horseman if she couldnt handle herself.
At the country estate, Katrina enchants a crow to bring a message to Ichabod, even though it takes two tries. Abraham the Headless Horseman arrives and reminds her the only way shell be safe in the coming apocalypse is if shes with him. He wants her to come willingly, but he reminds her he wont wait forever.
After seeing her, a suspicious Abraham visits Henry Parrish via mirror teleconference, asking him to strengthen the spell around his house that prevents Katrina from using her magic. Henry offers to do the violent binding (beheading) spell, but Abraham is insistent on getting her on their side without violence.
After Abraham signs off, Henry finds one of Katrinas books to delve for a sin he can exploit.
Two kids make out under a bridge when the guy thinks he hears crying. Suddenly, something seems to leap at their windshield and they speed away.
Abbie drives Crane to Carolines house so he can apologize. Shes drinking tea out of a I (heart) the Founding Fathers mug. She says of course they can be friends.
Crane bows deeply in front of her and leaves. Inside her house, Caroline hears crying. Then she sees a ghost that looks like a woman dressed in black, drowning underwater. The apparition attacks her.
The next day at the river bank, Abbie has IDd Carolines body. The time of death was 9 p.m., right after they left her house. Her car was in her garage.
They begin searching upstream and Crane finds Carolines mug on the river bank. Abbie sees the tracks from the teens car. She knows its a possible make-out spot and they head to the high school spirit squad for rumor intel.
They find the young couple and they say they saw the Weeping Lady. Shes a local legend that dates back to Colonial times of a woman who drowned in the river. Its from a local writer, so Abbie and Crane hit the books at the library.
There, the crane finds Ichabod and delivers Katrinas message, essentially telling him shes OK.
Hawley the artifact hunter finds Abbie in the stacks. Shes still peeved at him for bailing on going after the Pied Piper, so he offers to help hunt their next monster.
As Abbie continues looking, she hears crying and sees the creepy black underwater. She takes out her gun (in the library) and tells the ghost to put up her hands and turn around. The ghost does, but then she grabs Abbie as she shoots.
Abbie is suddenly underwater, fighting for the surface as the Weeping Lady drags her down. Crane runs to the spot in the library where Abbie just was but all thats left is an inky pit of water.
Abbie surfaces briefly in the river where Carolines body was found, but the lady pulls her back down. Crane sticks his hand in the puddle in the library floor and finally manages to blindly grab Abbie. But he doesnt know CPR. Hawley returns and resuscitates Abbie.
Later, back at the archives, Crane has the source material. The original Weeping Lady was created by an innkeeper in 1779, who claims it was a woman who drowned herself when she was spurned by her lover. Crane realizes shes going after the people he cares about. Abbie shows him a piece of the Ladys lace she ripped off while she was drowning.
Crane recognizes it. It belonged to a woman named Mary Wells that he was promised to as a child.
One day she showed up in Sleepy Hollow, when Crane was talking to Katrina, planning to take him home to London. He reminded her that they mutually broke off their engagement before he left for the Colonies. She thinks he was just trying to spare her from worry, but he tells her he only has brotherly feelings for her. She bursts into tears, accusing him of being in love with Katrina. Then shakes it off and basically ignores everything hes said, telling him shell be at an inn and expects him by morning with his bags packed.
The next morning, he received a letter from her apologizing for her behavior and saying she was going home, so he thought that was the end of it. But now they think shes actually the one haunting Sleepy Hollow and has gone from harmless to benevolent spirit.
Crane realizes the note from Katrina fell out of his pocket into the watery library portal. Knowing how jealous Mary was, they think her spirit will go after Katrina as soon as she realizes shes alive and with Ichabod.
Crane and Abbie go to Hawley on the dock for a weapon to use against the Weeping Lady. He lends them a crossbow supposedly from the original Van Helsing.
At Abrahams cottage, Katrina sees the Weeping Lady appear in her bedroom.
Outside, Crane and Abbie creep up in the dark. Suddenly, they see the Headless Horseman ride away at full speed. They realize he wouldnt have left Katrina unguarded and go inside. Her note to Ichabod is floating on an inky pool in her room and shes gone.
They head to the river, where Abbie briefly surfaced, hoping to get to Katrina in time.
Underwater, and free from Abrahams cottage, Katrina uses her magic to summon seaweed and wrestle the Weeping Lady off her.
Katrina surfaces and swims to the shore. On the banks, she runs into Ichabod and Abbie. He explains the spirit and Katrina says it was raised by dark magic, and Henry is the only one powerful enough to do that. Katrina says she can send Marys spirit to a better place but she has to use dark magic and risk her own spirit to do it. She needs someone to help her find her way back. Ichabod goes to face Mary as Abbie sits with Katrina and recites the spell.
Crane faces Mary and tries to reason with her, but when she attacks, he fires the crossbow at her. It bursts into flame, then dissolves, doing nothing expect making her angry. She rushes Crane, then runs right through him, leaving him soaked. She finds Abbie and Katrina chanting in the woods, but runs into the spell.
The dark spirit leaves and only Mary is left. Crane takes her in his arms and asks about the letter she wrote him. When he asks what happened to her, she points at Katrina, then her spirit passes.
Crane demands to know what Katrina isnt telling him.
Katrina says Mary wrote her a letter the first day they met saying they had to meet to discuss Katrinas relationship with Ichabod. Katrina met her late at night on the banks of the river and found Mary in tears. Mary accused Katrina of turning Ichabod against England and bewitching him and seducing him. Katrina tried to reason with her, but Mary ran at her, tripped on a root and tumbled down the river bank, hitting her head on a rock.
Katrina checked on her and found her dead. Katrina confesses she wrote the letter to keep him from returning to London with her body.
Crane is listing off all the things shes kept from them, struggling to accept them, when Abraham rides out of the forest. Katrina stops him with her magic then explains a vengeful spirit stole her away and Ichabod saved her. She begs Abraham to spare Cranes life. Katrina tells him shes ready to go home. He takes her hand and walks away.
The next day, Hawley comes back to his boat to find Jenny Mills waiting for him. Shes returning his coffee and also wondering if he wants to renew their friends-with-benefits relationship. He hesitates, so she flirts and leaves. (He also seems to be more interested in Abbie.)
Crane says a few words at a memorial service for Caroline, then mentions his lack of trust in Katrina to Abbie.
Back with Abraham, he assures Katrina that he had nothing to do with resurrecting Mary and just wants her to be happy.
Meanwhile, Henry gets tossed around by Moloch for putting Katrina at risk. Shes one of the Hellfire shards, a chosen vessel. Moloch reminds Henry his duty is to obey and Henry weeps like a chastened child.
