Freedom is a cause that we would sacrifice everything for. That is what Team Witness is planning on doing on tonight’s season four finale of Sleepy Hollow. Let the battle begin!
The opening scene of this episode confused me for a minute. It turns out, the whole colonial duel scene with Ichabod and Henry is a mystical vision. I had hoped that there would be some explanation as to why the episode began like this, but the answer did not make itself known. Maybe it’s a precursor to father and son meeting on the field of battle?
It was a bit of a shock to see Jobe side with the good guys for once. Guess the demon does not wish to be Malcolm’s personal attack dog anymore. I liked the show’s version of Hell and the Devil. The place looked like one of those buildings in Vegas with elevators on the outside. The Devil himself (Terrence Mann), from my impression, seemed like an older version of Two-Face. Either him, or the guy from The Matrix. Though, to be honest, I like the Devil in Lucifer better. That Devil amuses me greatly. Another shocking moment in this finale is that present Molly is no longer a Witness now that Malcolm has been defeated. Now future Molly is the Witness for she and Ichabod now share the bond that he and Abbie once had. Color me extremely intrigued.
Taking things back to the fight against evil, Team Witness did their best to kill the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. Their efforts seemed to have no effect on them until Ichabod, and future Molly returned from Hell. Ichabod had struck a deal with the Devil in exchange for the Philosopher’s Stone. He used the Stone to take away Malcolm’s immortality, thus rendering him vulnerable. I had a feeling that our resident Man Out of Time would trade his soul for the Stone.
When Ichabod showed his branded wrist to Agent Thomas, I knew that my feeling was right. Should this show returns for a fifth season, and I do mean if, I hope that Ichabod can get himself out of this deal. The man is too good to suffer for eternity in his personal hell. I mean, he talked his son out of killing him and reasoned with Henry about fighting for freedom.
On a side note, I squealed with joy when Alex kissed Jake. The woman finally admitted her feelings for Jake. Kudos to the both of you! Congratulations are also for Ichabod. He is officially an American citizen thanks to the President. Though that has to be the quickest citizenship swearing-in ceremony I have ever seen. All it took was Ichabod raising his right hand and a “Welcome to America” from the Commander in Chief.
In the end, Malcolm is brought down to Hell, no doubt to pay for his many sins. The Four Horseman have gone as well, hopefully for good. Think we have had enough of horsemen of the apocalypse for four seasons. As the episode ended, we see Ichabod and Agent Thomas take on the Kraken, as if hinting to us that the story’s not over yet. Or is it? We will find out soon enough. Go Team Witness!
