Sleepy Hollow roared back in its first episode since going on hiatus in December. In episode 11, The Vessel, the threat was not focused for once on Crane and Abbie, but instead on Captain Irving’s daughter, Macy.
Fool’s Errands
-Abbie plays Ted Gunn, and Ichabod looks hot in skinny jeans despite him saying it was surely a sign of the Apocalypse.
-Moloch may have created a diversion to keep Abbie and Crane busy. He’s a busy little devil isn’t he?
-Questioning possessed people when they are no longer possessed is just about as successful as you’d think, but they try it anyway.
Possession
-It’s pretty simple, hand over George Washington’s Bible or somehow Macy, the captain’s wheelchair-bound daughter, will be next.
-The demon seems to pop from person-to-person faster than you can say love ’em or leave ’em.
-Is anyone actually surprised that Jenny was once possessed?
-So, anyone else wondering if the make-up department watched The Exorcist for ideas: straggly hair, check; creepy eyes, check; male voice, check.
-Whoa, and we have lift-off. Someone hold down the breakables.
-Demon problems, who ya gonna call? Ghostbus—-er, make that the nearest priest.
Hermione Would Be Proud
-Our trio has amassed an impressive collection of books on demonology.
-Ichabod continues to amaze. Who knew he was fluent in ancient Aramaic?
-Macy might be her school’s academic superstar, but she’s not outwitting the demon.
-Have these people never seen a horror film? Rule 1: Always stay together!
-No, that’s not a hovercraft, it’s possessed Macy, and she’s taking out people faster than you can say Reagan.
Rock Meet Hard Place
-Why are key items always in the possession of survivalists and conspiracy theorists? Does no one else think to stock these things?
-Also, why go relatively unarmed into a fortified compound?
-Our heroes have tons of books, so how about stocking something else useful like TNT or grenades?
-Is anyone else feeling like the show is working its way through their sophomore year lit book?
-Well, at least Jenny is packing heat.
-That’s right, try reasoning with the demon because clearly that worked so well the last time. The only surprise is that both Macy’s parents are knocked out and not dead.
Recipe for Success
-Start with the sisters teaming up.
-Add in Ichabod with the secret ingredient.
-Mix an ounce of light, followed by a dash of salt and bye-bye demon.
-And now onto our next Julia Child moment with a recipe for invisible ink revelation.
And now for the big questions leading into next week’s two-hour season finale: How was Washington alive after he was dead? Will Crane and Katrina reunite? Will the cast all make it to next season alive?
