Katrina fans, rejoice! For this episode was chock full of The Fanciest Quaker Witch in All of History. In an episode about a classic Halloween haunted house during Thanksgiving. Crabbie are looking forward to a restful Thanksgiving when Irving throws a new case at them. A billionaire socialite descendent of a “founding father” disappeared while checking out her ancestral manse. Note that Founding Father in Sleepy Hollow just means “alive in the colonies during the 1770s.” Her research included the name “Katrina C.” and Ich doesn’t believe in coincidences. At the house we learn the owner was an abolitionist who helped freed/escaped slaves including one who acted as the mistress of the house. (It’s unclear if that’s in the “Jefferson SUCKS!” way or she was just the head housekeeper.) Ich and Katrina had visited the house at least once and it was protected by spells to keep out Moloch and his ilk. These days it’s a wreck and no one has lived in it for more than a few weeks since Ich’s days. Billionaire Lady was captured by the Ent and her bodyguard pecked to death by some really creepy crows. Crabbie are trapped inside the house and Abbie’s not having that AT ALL. They find the billionaire’s bodyguard dead, victim of a murder of crows. They wander the house for 100 years for obligatory flashback storytelling. Eventually they find the billionaire. Turns out there was a really clever demon that got around the spells by growing as a sentient tree on the ground. The Evil Ent, R. Kelly, trapped the lady in a closet behind roots that bleed when Ich cuts them away to free her. R. Kelly is also not having that and he stomps into the house to take them down. Ich and Abbie are separated and spend another 100 years wandering through dark, narrow tunnels. Which makes for compelling tv not at all. Abbie starts having visions of the mistress/housekeeper lady and follows her into a full blown flashback vision. Katrina fled to the house after Ich died, at least 13 months pregnant. She gave birth to a boy. R. Kelly was after the kid and killed Ich’s buddy but the vision ended before Abbie can find out what happened to JrIch. To her credit, as soon as Abbie finds Ich she tells him that he had a kid. “Katrina would have told me!” he protests, entirely forgetting that she never told him she was a witch. He’s understandably pissed off that Moloch sent a demon for his kid. The escape through a tunnel thanks to the mistress/housekeeper. Ich immediately goes back in, armed with an axe and some flares, and orders Abbie not to follow. In a righteous fury he kicks the Ent’s ass six ways from Sunday. Across the nation people fan themselves and try not to swoon at Angry Ich the Hot Dad. Later they drink some rum, contemplate what there is to be thankful for, and discover that Abbie is a direct […]
