Without apologies, it’s safe to say that Sleepy Hollow’sSeason 1 ended with a bang. The show really knows how to entertain. The scenes were epic and the characters, including Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie (Nicole Beharie) were tremendous. If for some reason you missed the season finale of Season 1 of the series, here’s a recap to get your appetite whet and to prepare you for all the low down dirty deets of the series return.
Recap of Season 1 finale: Holy Cow!
Guys, normally I’m the chatterbox and I’ll just let the cats out of the bag. However, with this recap, I’m literally at a standstill. I’m clueless as to where to start. Yup, that’s right…the season finale was that devastating! Orlando Jones did warn us about the finale but as usual, I thought he was like the others who just like to talk. I just didn’t want to be disappointed when he mentioned that we should anticipate something ‘devastating’ so I ended up watching the finale unprepared. I most definitely underestimated what havoc the season finale would reap, especially the tornado it stirred within my heart and onscreen.
I’ve seen countless finales where the good guys did all the smiling. At the end, they faced up to the villains and came out on top. However, within Sleepy Hollow’s finale, things turned out contrary to what most viewers anticipated. I was actually looking forward to seeing the headless horseman re-grow his head only to have it re-decapitated (man that would have been sweet! That would have made my day). Sad to say, that was not what happened.
Those bad guys surely rose to the challenge and gave me a beating. My bet was on the good guys and they lost pathetically, without even a fight (they sure got served!). Abbie actually found herself trapped in ‘only God knows where’, with a deranged thin-skinned, animal-looking, wanna-be-worshipped Moloch. As for the ‘from the 60s’ Ichabod Crane, he allowed himself to be swindled (and then buried) by an old man who can’t even walk without a limp (shame on you Ichabod! I expected better). As things turned out, this swindler is no other than the self-named sin eater and second horseman, and not to mention Ichabod’s long lost son who is back with a vengeance to teach his father a lesson. Irving, a member of the Ichabod gang and a man working behind the scenes, is also detained for two murders he didn’t commit. As for Ichabod’s wife, Katrina Crane, she rode off with her long lost admirer, the headless riding dude (I mean the headless horseman) into the silhouette of the night to bring forth headless minions (just kidding guys, but the sin eater did hand her over to the headless horseman).
There are actually no happy endings for the good guys! Each member of the Ichabod gang has their own problems, while the bad guys ride off into the greenery to eat cupcakes and ice cream. Now that I’ve bored you with the details (hopefully I didn’t) let’s take a look at what we can expect when Season 2 of the Sleepy Hollow returns.
The Mentalist’s Alum is Cast as Abbie’s Mom
In the previous season, we were always hit with daddy issues. However, the directors are jazzing up things a bit, and are moving towards the mom this time around. The Mentalist alum Aunjanue Ellis has actually been recruited to play Lori Mills, the late mother of Abbie and Jenny. It was believed that the woman, Abbie’s mom, had a mental condition and so committed suicide while on a mental ward around 16 years ago. With Ellis’ introduction, Abbie and her sister will find out what really happened to their mom. The dead mother lives.
Season 2 of Sleepy Hollow’s new Slogan: “Evil takes Hold”
What does Sleepy Hollow’s new slogan says to you? If ‘evil takes hold’, it would have meant that evil was already prevalent or lurking behind the scenes, waiting to pounce. We’ve definitely seen that this has been the case with the recent season. Moloch and his clang have patiently been waiting for the opportune time to claim Sleepy Hollow. Now that the fighters are all tied up (literally), who will be man enough to step forward and fight against the inevitable – lift the veils and untie the knots evil has left abound?
A New Headless in Town
The horseman will not be the only demon to gallop about. In fact, the headless horseman, Katrina’s capturer, will have some competition. This means that Abbie and Ichabod will have two additional hands to help in the fight against Moloch and his entourage. What’s so interesting about this development is quite thrilling since the new associate to Abbie and Ichabod was made from the head of the headless horseman (don’t ask). Aching to get back his head, I’m sure the headless horseman is aching to cut something off. Watch out Headless, a new goose is in town and you’re about to get cooked. As we await the return of Sleepy Hollow on Sept. 22, at 9 p.m. on Fox, lets prepare ourselves to enter the battlefield because war has officially been declared.
