Ichabod and Abbie interrogate the Horseman with Andy's help, despite the dead policeman's warnings not to do so. During the interrogation, the Horseman reveals himself to be Abraham Va Brunt, Katrina's former fiancé and Ichabod's best friend who was killed by Hessians and turned into the Horseman of Death by Moloch. Andy, under Moloch's control, sneaks a druidic relic into the chamber where the Horseman is being held and uses it to dispel the magical bindings of the chamber, allowing Moloch's minions to be summoned into the chamber and disappear with Brooks and the Horseman just as the Horseman is about to kill Ichabod.


Tropes present in the episode:

  • Deal with the Devil: Abraham made one with Moloch in the past after he was wounded following his fight with Ichabod.
  • Entitled to Have You: Abraham got angry at Ichabod when he reveals that Katrina confessed her love to him since Abraham always believed he was meant for Katrina.
  • Evil Former Friend: The Horseman of Death is revealed to be Abraham Van Brunt, Ichabod's best friend.
