'Sleepy Hollow' Season 2, Episode 14: 'Kali Yuga' Recap

Things seem a little off between our leads, Ichabod and Abbie, ever since the whole Horseman/Katrina/Orion triangle put everyone on different sides. Despite the fact that everyone can see it, Abbie and Ichabod continue to insist that they are fine and that they worked things out.

That is called into question when Hawley's past comes to haunt him, and tests the bond between Abbie and Ichabod. Hawley goes off to a deal, but finds he has been tricked into reuniting with his godmother who raised him after his parents died. Only problem is that now she has been transformed into a shape-shifting monster from Hindu lore, with venom claws and some nasty dental work.

Carmilla begs Hawley to help her regain her humanity by breaking into a vault designed and once owned by Knox (of Fort Knox, who conveniently had a home in Sleepy Hollow). Hawley breaks into Abbie's archives and steals blueprints for the home to help Carmilla break into the place now owned by Theodore Knox, a decendent of the original, who uses the vault to store blackmarket occult goods. Abbie doesn't take kindly to her place being broken into, and when her alarm goes off, they end up chasing Hawley into the tunnels and seeing the Carmilla beast.

Figuring this is all probably bad news for Hawley, they go to an event hosted by Teddy Knox. Ichabod, who has found Orion's charm, hidden from him by Abbie, is finally waking up to the fact that these is trouble in paradise, and becomes determined they should stay together. But when he gets held up, a miscommunication of gesturing results in Abbie going off on her own. Jenny finds Hawley but he traps her in a closet to protect her.

This all ends with a stand-off, because it wouldn't be "Sleepy Hollow" otherwise. As Ichabod is about to kill Carmilla to hopefully save Abbie, Hawley steps in the middle. He promises to go with Carmilla if she lets his friends go. They lock Abbie and Ichabod in the vault, take the statue Carmilla needs, and book it.

With not much else to do but talk and attempt to break out, Ichabod and Abbie are forced to admit that their bond has been tested lately, and they don't seem on the same page anymore. They agree they need to work on keeping their union strong, and Ichabod's vast knowledge of everyone who ever existed in his time period once again manages to break a code and frees them from the vault, conveniently as Jenny is busting herself out. They go after Hawley, knowing he is in danger.

Hawley, predictably, gets himself drugged by his overly attached godmother, who begins a ceremony to turn him into a creature like herself and her posse. Ichabod and Abbie bust it up, and using some photographic memory techniques and some really reaching assumptions, use a deduction that fire and iron can kill Carmilla. They attack the other creatures and kill them. However when Hawley is broken free, he hesitates in killing Carmilla, and she escapes. Determined to hunt her down and disappear from his friends' lives, Hawley leaves poor Jenny with a tender kiss and some major baggage to add to the collection. Exit Hawley.

In the lives (can we use that word?) of Irving and his wife, Irving happily finds himself cleared of all charges, his confession considered signed under duress. His wife, still concerned about the whole "you were dead but now you're not" thing, asks Katrina to help. Katrina determines that, although she doesn't know how he was brought back, Henry no longer has a hold on Irving's soul.

That's all great news, until Irving realizes he has no reflection.
