There was Crane's heartfelt speech about his love for Katrina that made the OnStar woman weep. And he thanked her kindly for listening to him, unlocking the car, and telling him how the entertainment system worked.

Which, read like that, sounds like a joke, but isn't.

Oh, and Abbie convinced her Captain to give her a 12-hour head start to finding her sister, and Jenny went to a bar to get her stashed Sarah-Connor gear back.

I missed a critical five minutes. Except I'm going to presume that in the end, Abby, Jenny and Icky either recovered or destroyed the book before 72 demons could be summoned. I saw that all three were alive, and I assume they did not trade the book to save Jenny's life.

BTW, some Hessians did desert to the Revolutionary side.

Abby tossed the book into the writhing flames, then her sister and Ichabod took advantage of the distraction to throw the bad guys into the the pit with the demons. There was a big swirly fire and then it was out.

Abby offered to take temporary conservatorship of her sister.

How long before Abby's sister tries to sleep with her ex?

So far then they have thwarted every attempt by evil to bring demons into the world, or in the case of the headless horseman recover the head. The only demons around are the headless horseman who Icky came back with, and the ones who were already in the woods. If this is intended to last 7 years, shouldn't the bad guys win one occasionally? Or is everything so close balanced already that if the bad guys succeed once more everything is doomed? Also at some point are we going to hear why some of the bad guys think their cause is "just". I mean arguments for Satan as the good guy are not new. Harlan Ellison are Steve Brust are among the many who have explored that. And while I get that the Hollowverse is going to explore, I'd still like to know what evil's justification is - since it apparently is a cause some of them are willing to die for. If they have an ideology and a set of principles they are fighting for that actually makes them more dangerous.

Heh. I'll have to catch that on Hulu when I have some time. He is just ridiculously charming.

Yeah, that was hysterical.

Yeah, I was thinking Moloch's got to win a few. I'm wondering how long it will be before Jenny tries sleeping with Ichabod.

And I hope I'm not the only person who thinks the Captain is part of a coven.

Did they do one of those upside down shots of an oncoming vehicle that flips over to see where it's going? They've had one in each of the other episodes and I kind of dig it.

And I hope I'm not the only person who thinks the Captain is part of a coven.

Nope. But I'm sure they'll keep it a mystery as to which one for as long as possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been thinking there's going to be an Irving reveal every ep so far, and then I realise how not far in we've gotten. He's good with the long game, if so.
