Ichabod and Abbie investigate the disappearance of Lena Gilbert, the wealthy granddaughter of a mining and oil magnate who went missing while visiting a country house owned by her family. As it turns out, the house is owned by an old acquaintance of Ichabod's, Lachlan, who put a protective hex around the house. Ichabod takes an interest in the case because Lena circled a name "Katrina C" (which he assumes as Katrina Crane) in a paper that she left behind. Lena explains that Katrina was the last person who took sanctuary in the house a long time ago. The house is haunted and, as a result, Lena, Ichabod, and Abbie are attacked on their way out from the trapped house. Abbie has a vision of Katrina giving birth to Ichabod's son while taking sanctuary in the house.
