This episode begins with Ichabod paying a visit to Caroline, who hands him clothing she made herself out of a special wave, as well as hand churned butter and preserves. Now, if this was in Ichabod's time, this would be over the top but slightly understandable, but Caroline is helping Crane because she is inspired by his supposed dedication to colonial reenactment and the way he never breaks character. How Ichabod could have missed the signs Caroline was tossing about regarding her interest is beyond me. When Caroline goes to make her move, Ichabod is forced to step backwards and finally stutter and tell Caroline that he is a married man. Caroline steps back in shock and explains that because there are no pictures of Crane's wife, and he never talks about her, she assumed that Crane was either single or a widower. Crane assures Caroline that is wife is alive and well, as Abby enters the room. Caroline quickly apologises, mistaking Abby for Crane's wife and Abby snarks that she and Crane need a symbol to indicate when Crane is getting his giddy on. Crane is not impressed and points out that he was unaware of Caroline's feelings towards him. Abby snarks that it was obvious that Caroline had a clear case of "Crane on the brain."
Crane talks about how distracted he is by Katrina's current circumstances but Abby points out that Katrina chose to stay with the horsemen and can clearly handle herself. Switch to Katrina working on some kind of potion to make ink. She writes a message and opens the window to see a bird. Katrina orders the bird to obey her and informs the bird that it will be her messenger. Katrina gives the bird her message, commanding it to find Ichabod, just as Abraham (read: the headless horseman) enters the room. Katrina thanks Abraham for the comforts he has procured for her and Abraham in turn promises Katrina the world when she is his queen. Katrina is quick to point out that she has never been one for material wants but Abraham clarifies to add that with apocalypse a certainty, the only way Katrina will survive is by his side. Abraham says that this is a choice he wants Katrina to make willingly but adds that he will not wait forever, before leaving the room. How exactly can she say no when he has her captive? It seems to be that Abraham has a lot to learn about consent.
Parish is interrupted by Abraham, who reports that Katrina may be trying to work around the enchantment Parish cast around Abraham's home to block Katrina's magic. Abraham asks Parish to check on it and Parish promises to look into it because Katrina is powerful and devious. Parish adds that if Katrina is still causing trouble, they can use the binding ritual; however, Abraham is confident that he can convince Katrina to play the role that Moloch wants of her own free will. Parish believes that this will be difficult without severing Katrina's bond with Crane, adding that he loves to cause his parents pain. Talk about your long standing Mommy and Daddy issues already. I am starting to believe that Parish is worse than The Originals. Abraham asserts that all he wants is for Katrina to have no access to her magic before leaving. Parish looks through a box for a sin of Katrina's that he can make use of and we get a flash to a young woman and man together.
Two people are making out in a car and the woman makes it clear that she is not going any further. The man is resistant at first but stops when he hears something. I love that the young woman reiterates clearly that she is only willing to go do far. Suddenly, something flashes across the window of the jeep and the couple drives away frantically.
Ichabod and Abby are sitting in a car out front of Caroline's house. Abby suggest that Crane just send Caroline a text but of course, Crane finds this inadequate and while getting of the car says that he is going to apologize in person, the way a gentleman should. Crane makes his way to the front door and when Caroline answers, Crane apologises and asks if they can put the misunderstanding behind them. Crane admits that he has few friends in Sleepy Hollow and none that have his belief in the Colonial way of life. Caroline is quick to accept Crane's offer of friendship and he leaves. When Caroline enters her house, she hears a weeping sound. Caroline makes her way into the living room, where she finds a spectral figure all in black with glowing eyes. The figure gets out of the chair and makes her way over to Caroline.
Later that day, Abby is at a crime scene at the beach. The coroner is removing the body of Caroline and Crane is extremely upset. Crane wants to know who would do this but the only information Abby has is that Caroline died at 9 pm, which is when they left Caroline's home. Crane points out that because it is so far from town, it's not likely that anyone saw what happened. They decide to head down the river to where they believe Caroline's body entered the river. Crane finds the mug Caroline was holding last night and Abby finds tire tracks and no foot prints. Abby reveals that this area is what local kids use as a lovers lane.
Abby and Crane head to high school and Abby gives Crane a brief explanation of high school politics. They find the kids who were witnesses to Caroline's death based in quickly gathered high school gossip. The kids tell Abby and Crane that they saw The Weeping Lady. Later, at the library, Abby explains that The Weeping Lady is the ghost of a woman, who drowned in the river and is dripping wet with glowing green eyes. Crane questions if The Weeping Lady cries because an injustice has been done to her and Abby explains that she was jilted by her husband or lover. Abby prints up a list of books on the legend and they separate to look for resources. A bewildered Crane makes his way around the library and pauses when he sees Katrina's messenger on a window ledge. Katrina has sent him basically a love letter. Wasn't she supposed to be gathering information on the horsemen?
Abby runs into Hawley, who claims to be gathering information on something which goes bump in the night. Hawley comments on the fact that Abby isn't exactly warming up to him and points out that he does the work he is contracted to do. Hawley reminds Abby that everything came out okay in the end and predictably Abby replies, "no thanks to you." Hawley argues that if he had accompanied Crane and Abby, he may have fouled the mission altogether and asks for slack. Hawley offers to help Abby and Crane the next time have a problem with a monster and adds that if they need him, he is down at the pier.
