Season 2 Episode 2 Recap 

The Raising of a Monster? – Sleepy Hollow – Season 2 Episode 2 – “The Kindred”

Well, we know, from the last episode, that the main characters are alive. In fact, aside from Katrina, everyone is reunited. So here we go-another mission to rescue Katrina…kind of season one-ish, but I could be wrong because it is only the second episode of the second season.

The beginning of this week’s episode of Sleepy Hollow starts off with Ichabod figuring out what Adam and Henry want with Katrina; she is meant to become a bride. Also, Abbie has to go to work to meet the new Sheriff.

Sheriff Reyes, as it happens, knows Abbie’s mother, from the “calls” Reyes responded to. Abbie seems a little on the defense, but does her best to make a good impression. Reyes seems gun-ho; she wants to get the town back together. Abbie is all in.

Abbie is concerned that Ichabod is more focused on rescuing Katrina than realizing the more important mission of stopping Moloch. He begs to argue that the importance of getting Katrina lies in her being a witch whose power they need. I don’t think even he’s buying his own story, though. He swears he hasn’t forgotten his duties-to either the mission or Katrina.

Speaking of Moloch, he is very angry with Henry for not being able to open the portal from Purgatory. A terrified Henry promises to not fail again.

Abbie, Ichabod and Jenny have figured out that Ben Franklin, along with Katrina’s coven, tried to create a Frankenstein-like monster called the Kindred to defeat the Headless Horseman. Ichabod is ready to dive right in, but Abbie is saying not so fast; They are talking about raising a

Reyes is on a mission to prove she’s not Irving. She arrests Jenny, fires Ichabod as the history consultant and argues with Abbie. Yet, at the same time, Reyes doesn’t seem to want to offend Abbie.

Irving isn’t doing so hot in jail, as he’s already been beaten up. Abbie suggests instead of confessing to the crime, he tell the truth and go for the insanity defense. Apparently, Irving agrees.

At first, Abraham was trying to confuse Katrina by saying Ichabod cared more about rescuing Abbie than rescuing Katrina. The thing is: Katrina can play that game too, and does to try to save Ichabod, as he is trying to raise the Kindred.

Henry, however, knows what Ichabod is up to. In fact, it seems like he counted on it. He summons War (the horseman). And it looks like it’s going to be a good fight, too!

Ichabod rushes in to the house to rescue Katrina, but she has a different idea. She convinces him that she needs to stay to learn what Abraham and Henry are up to; how they plan to release Moloch. On top of that, Katrina wants to save Henry-Jeremy-their son.

The episode winds down with Ichabod and Abbie fleeing in a car as the monster and the horseman fight it out. Katrina furthers her plan to warm up to Abraham while Ichabod and Abbie wonder what happened with the Kindred. Irving tries to tell Reyes the truth, but is interrupted when a lawyer, Henry Parrish…yes, THAT Henry, is there to represent Irving. Just what is he up to? Clearly, Irving has NO idea who Henry is.
