History Heartwarming / SleepyHollow

--> '''Abbie''': I got more fathering in those five minutes than I got my whole life.

* The revelation [[spoiler:that Corbin was as much a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure]] to Jenny as he was to Abbie]].
* The Mills sisters reconcile at the end of episode four after not speaking since they were separated as teenagers [[spoiler:and Abbie abandoned Jenny to a mental institution. Jenny finally found it in her heart to forgive her sister and Abbie is now helping Jenny get out]].

** Also from "John Doe," when [[spoiler:Ichabod gets the plague]] and enters the dreamworld, what's the first thing he does? Runs to Katrina to hold her. Given how little he {{angst}}s about it, it's a small but incredibly sweet moment that shows just how much he misses her.
** Abbie shouting [[spoiler:"Don't take him!" to the hospital staff when Ichabod gets infected]], she only knew him for a couple of days and showed genuine concern for him, counts as well.

* Ichabod and Abbie find a family tree for Grace Dixon, the woman who [[spoiler:helped Katrina give birth to her and Ichabod's son]]. Ichabod checks it out for a second and then hands it to Abbie. Abbie's scrolling the pages and suddenly stops when she gets to the end of the tree. [[spoiler:The last name on the tree belongs to Abbie's mother, which means Abbie is a descendant of Grace Dixon.]] Crane and Abbie realize that their fates have been connected [[spoiler:since before Abbie was even born]].
** Abbie trying to cheer Crane up with alcohol, specifically his favorite rum.

* Also a really cool change, track Ichabod's reactions to Abbie (and consequently also track Abbie's manner) giving him new things. Starting with the donut holes which she gruffly hands him, he reacts in distaste even though he ends up loving them. End with the Christmas present (a stocking she gives to him early because he's had a rough holiday), [[FishOutOfTemporalWater Ichabod]] still doesn't know what the hell she handed him, but he's delighted to receive it. It's a nice simple way to see their relationship progress since the beginning of the series. [[spoiler:It also makes the incoming MoodWhiplash all the more worse.]]
* In "The Vessel," we find out that Jenny wasn't committing a sluice of crimes because she was a delinquent, but because [[spoiler:she was repeatedly possessed by Ancitif, who made it clear he meant to kill Abbie in her body. Jenny was scared he would, so she kept on getting herself locked up to protect her sister]].

-->'''Ichabod''': You were right. There's always another way.
-->'''Abbie''': Next time, listen to me, okay? I can't go through that again.
-->'''Ichabod''': [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness My ears shall remain eternally open to your admonition]].
-->'''Abbie''': I don't know what the hell that means. Just say "yes!"
-->'''Ichabod''': ''Yes''.

** Before heading back into Purgatory to [[spoiler:get Abbie]], Jenny surprises him by hugging him. Shows how far they've come from their first meeting.
** When Abbie manages to contact Ichabod, he appears [[spoiler:in Purgatory]] with her. Even though they've only been separated for a brief time, they launch themselves into each other's arms and hold on for a long moment without even saying anything.
* Abbie's 251st-birthday-party for Ichabod. Sure, it turns out to be [[spoiler:part of a false universe created to manipulate them into telling Henry/War what he needs]], but for the moment, it was sweet.
* When Katrina [[spoiler:is about to give birth to Moloch, she asks Abbie to kill her so that doesn't come to pass. Abbie reminds her that when her coven asked Katrina to do the same to Ichabod, she refused despite what was at stake because she had faith in him, and that they could find another way. Then Abbie tells Katrina to hold on to that faith now]].

* [[spoiler:Jenny and Hawley's blossoming relationship, following the reveal of his backstory and some serious CharacterDevelopment, was really adorable to watch. Diminished slightly when you remember he had set his sight on her sister first, but still.]]

** Ichabod immediately trying to comfort Katrina [[spoiler:after Henry dies]]. [[spoiler:Diminished a bit by Katrina's [[UnstoppableRage reaction]].]]

* In "Tempus Fugit", [[spoiler:Benjamin Franklin]]'s description of Abbie as embodying the American Dream.

* In a very, very strange way, [[spoiler:Crane stopping the rampaging Kindred by resurrecting a ''Kindress'' to be his bride.]] in "Kindred Spirits". [[spoiler:The two monsters are so instantly smitten with the other, they just leave the fight hand-in-hand like a gentleman and lady at a costume ball. Too bad the Hidden One killed them in spite.]]
* [[spoiler:Crane and Abbie's farewell]] in the third season finale.
* In "The Way of the Gun," [[spoiler:TheReveal that Lara, aka Future!Molly, was raised and trained by Ichabod after Diana was murdered and turned into the Horseman of War by Dreyfuss]].

* In "Freedom," Jake and Alex's [[spoiler:BigDamnKiss]].
** Ichabod [[spoiler:being named an official citizen of the United States by the President]].

* A little TearJerker / HeartwarmingMoment: Ichabod is curtly lamenting the lost of everything he's known and Abbie realizes that even though she's in her own time, she wouldn't be able to have a true relationship due to her [[TheChosenOne Witness]] duties. While admitting ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne because of all of the sacrifices in their lives, Ichabod points out at least [[TrueCompanions they have each other]] [[YouAreNotAlone as a fellow Witness]].

* In "The Sisters Mills," Ichabod trying to get Saffron to open up about the Tooth Fairy by using the "quarter in your ear" trick and then by reciting a poem of sorts. Doubles as a FunnyMoment.

* Ichabod decides to leave town, because his usual thinking of "sense and reason" has been corrupted "by the spirit world". Katrina tries to reassure him.
--> '''Katrina:''' Will you take nothing from Sleepy Hollow?
