by Shannon KeirnanSix weeks after Henry killed Moloch and vanished, no one can seem to adjust to normal life. Ichabod is desperately seeking something to do, and he manages to find it.

Ichabod and Katrina are re-examining their marriage. She is determined to try to save Abraham somehow. She thinks she can find a way to make him mortal again. She makes him promise not to kill anyone until she can find a way. When she meets the angel Orion, who is seeking Abraham, she sneaks off and frees him.
The remaining demons, who are seeking a leader, find Abraham. Abbie summons Orion and tells him where Abraham is, going against Ichabod and Katrina. However Ichabod calls with a warning against Orion - he seems to always be present at great disasters. Is he bringing them or warning against them?
Abbie talks to Orion and finds that he wants to purge the earth and rebuild it, bringing down judgement. She realizes he is a zealot.
