Season 2 Episode 4 recap 

Pied Piperlike Creatures – Sleepy Hollow – Season 2 Episode 4 – “Go Where I Send Thee”

Week four of Sleepy Hollow has Ichabod and Abbie meeting up with a Pied Piperlike creature. I’m guessing these are two different things-the Pied Piper and a creature LIKE the Pied Piper; this should be interesting.

The episode starts off with menacing-like Ichabod making threats. As it turns out, he’s simply learning to drive. Abbie encourages him, but he’s got to go at his own pace. The driving lesson is interrupted by an Amber Alert; Abbie knows the family of the missing girl. Ichabod feels a sense of duty to find the girl; he cannot stand idly by.

While searching in the woods for the little girl, Ichabod and Abbie come across some bones. For whatever reason, Ichabod begins playing the bone like a musical instrument (yes, of course he can play an instrument-he’s Ichabod!). Abbie begins seeing things funny…in a drug-induced sort of way. Upon seeing Abbie’s reaction, Ichabod declares the little girl was lured by a Pied Piper.

Ichabod recalls a time when he saw British soldiers fall at the sound of the Piper’s flute. Ichabod believes the method of luring was the same. Abbie’s not entirely convinced, wondering what the connection between soldiers and a little girl are. Still, if he might be right, Abbie has a plan; let’s go into a trance and find out where the creature might have taken Sarah, the little girl.

While on their hunt for Sarah, they run into none other than Hawley-the coin expert. What in the world is he doing there? And is he going to be a regular now?

He and Ichabod clearly have no love between them, nonetheless, Hawley has some valuable information. He happened to be on a hunt (for the Pied Piper’s instrument) of his own when he saw the creature lure the little girl away; he warns there’s no time to get Sarah. Much to Ichabod’s disapproval, Abbie makes a deal to work with Hawley.

Ichabod learns that Hawley is a fighter, as opposed to the well-planned Ichabod. Suffice to say, Hawley freaks when he sees the creature and attacks it full-on. The good news? Sarah is saved.

But…now that the girl is safe, Hawley wants his reward-the flute-and nothing else. He doesn’t want to help kill the creature; he doesn’t care what’s at stake. Ichabod is disgusted; Abbie takes a different approach. He doesn’t get his reward. But Sarah does get safely returned to her family. Ichabod feels the family’s reaction was…abnormal.

The job is not done for Abbie and Ichabod, however; they have to kill the creature. The problem is: there’s a curse…one child has to be sacrificed to save the lives of others. No wonder Sarah’s family wasn’t thrilled. So they also have to be ready to stop the family from sacrificing Sarah, which is exactly what happens.

It’s okay though-Abbie and Ichabod are able to get the family to see that it’s better to kill the creature than sacrifice children. A bitter fight ensues and the creature is killed.

At the end of the episode we see Henry essentially blackmailing Irving. Henry doesn’t deny what he is, but he threatens the consequences of not cooperating. For Irving, it’s the welfare of his family or refusing to deal. But that’s what happens when you sell your soul.

Hawley sells the bone to a mysterious buyer, who smashes it to pieces. Oh…and it’s HENRY!
