Henry enlists Katrina's help in using a copy of the Liberty Bell to awaken the powers of witch descendants living in Sleepy Hollow, leading to a fateful showdown.


Tropes present in the episode:

  • Character Death: Henry is shot by Abbie and dies.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: Katrina allies with Henry to activate the powers of witch descendants in Sleepy Hollow, then really goes off the deep end when he dies.
  • Hand on Womb: Katrina does this after arriving in the past inside her past self, who's still pregnant with Jeremy.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Ichabod gives one to Henry during their confrontation.
    Henry: We've been here before. You bare your teeth, then you back down! You don't have what it takes to do violence to your only son.
    Ichabod: You've not learned a thing since Moloch dragged you from your fetid box.
    Henry: Moloch was self-righteous and self-serving — like you! He abandoned me just as you did.
    Ichabod: I did not abandon you, Henry. I did not even know you existed! You're as much a man out of time as I, yet you cling to the past so tightly like an angry, unruly child.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After Henry dies, Katrina turns her wrath on Ichabod and casts a spell to travel back through time so she can kill her husband and change history.
    Katrina: (as she telekinetically strangles Ichabod) You are the source of my sorrow, Ichabod Crane. You are the reason I was not there to raise my son. I never should have saved your life when the Horseman cut you down. I never should have put you to sleep. I should have let you die! And this time, I will.
  • Say My Name: At one point, Ichabod fires off a gunshot and yells Henry's name.
  • Time Travel: Katrina uses the Traveler Spell to send herself back through time so she can kill Ichabod.
