It’s almost Halloween Sleepyheads, so it’s time for some good ghost stories! This week’s Sleepy Hollow finds our beloved characters wrestling with a bunch of ghosts from their past.
The smitten ladies
Ichabod’s adorably awkward encounter and subsequent charming rapproachment with a crazy cat lady revolutionary war enthusiast,
turns tragic when said slanket-wearer turns up drowned in the river. Ichabod and Abbie learn about the legend of the “weeping lady” at the library, where Abbie encounters a supernatural being:
Mmmmmmm, otherwordly.
No, not that one – this one:
This ghost gets off on drowning her victims in the same spot where she met her watery end. Abbie gets dragged into the deep waters as Ichabod desperately tries to save her. Don’t know about you, but my panties melted a little bit right here:
then A LOT right here:
Um, I’m feeling a little short of breath – pardon me while I go dial Sleepy Hollow 911!
Ichabod realizes that the weeping lady is the ghost of Mary, a woman who he spurned back in the day, but is now targeting those that he cares about. He’s confused because he received a letter from her after the aforementioned spurning, where she was like:
So she was all cool, right? Right?!
So wrong.
The Liar
The weeping lady goes after Katrina after reading her love letter to Ichabod, and in the ensuing melee it is revealed that Katrina might just be a “secretive asshole” (TM @blessamysheart all rights reserved):
Turns out she was there when Mary died, and covered it up so Ichabod would not abandon Katrina to return to England. But it was an accident, so Ichy’s cool with it, right? Right?
Ichabod is FURIOUS and is like
And even though Katrina saves Ichabod from Headless in the end, there is some bad mojo happening in this union. (Sorry/not sorry Ichatrina shippers!)
The smexy
Just when you think that mouth-to-mouth hotness is going to lead to a Nichabbie triangle, we find out that we’re looking at more of a drama dodecahedron! Nick returns to his houseboat (?) (seriously where the fuck does he live? It looks like a floating “chillaxification zone”), to find Jenny trying to get her hands on his “egg mcmuffin” (no euphemism – she stole his breakfast):
Wha?!!!! Talk about ghosts from the past!! Could there also be a “Jickabbie” triangle in the works (Abbennyck? I can keep ’em coming all day!)
So much character dramz here! Loving it!
The new(ish) guy
Let me take a moment here to underscore how much I like the addition of Nick Hawley (Matt Barr) to the SH family. I not only like how he’s shaking things up, but I also LOVE that his spirit animal is clearly Han Solo, who will forever stand as my definitive man-crush!
Sadly, there are not.
I’m sure he’ll turn out to be a good guy in the end, but I hope the writers take their time getting there.
PS The second he refers to someone as ‘sweetheart’ the panties will self-destruct. game.over.
What do you think of all the drama? What else has Katrina been hiding? Can we go back to seeing Abraham sans head and sans shirt? Is there a job where I just think up SH shipper names all day? ‘Cuz that’s how I spend all my time anyway.
