37 Thoughts on the Bones/Sleepy Hollow Crossover

Finally, we got that Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover. Here are some of stream-of-consciousness ramblings on tonight’s crossover. Full recap to come.
- Where’s Abbie?
- Where’s Ichabod?
- Why are they not in the opening?
- Is it because this is not their show?
- Okay, that’s reasonable.
- All these candy commercials remind me that I better ask Mr. TV Recaps to put the Halloween chocolate on the top shelf so I can’t get to it.
- More crossover ideas: Abbie goes to Quantico. Mama Mills is there; that’s an easy one.
- Ichabod consults Annalise Keating on How to Get Away with Murder. He has to get off the hook for killing Luke Morales, Hawley, Calvin Riggs, raising Andy Brooks from the dead to kill him again and “accidentally” shivving his first wife.
- Where’s Abbie?
- Where’s Ichabod?
- Abbie!
- Ichabod!
- Ichabod to Dr. Hodgins: My name is Ichabod Crane; I swear to God if you get near Abbie, I will kill you.
- That historical society chick, Crextra, goes to Once Upon a Time. Extras shipping themselves with Ichabod are living in a fairy-tale.
- It sounded like Booth was just going to say: “Have you taken a look at Agent Mills’?” which would be suicidal. It’s a good thing he ended that sentence with the word “case.”
- Bones is shipping the hell out of Ichabbie. The Sleepy Hollow writers are begging us not to lose our shit over the Crextra foolishness. She is just a plot device who will be shivved in the season finale.
- Ichabod is drinking a Sex on the Beach. Subtext!
- Sleepy Hollow time!
- Abbie and Jenny dressed as Beyoncé and a Mountie is brill. Why no lingering shot of Abbie’s costume, though?
- I see we are still on this Abbie-as-matchmaker foolishness. Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no!
- Back to Abbie in Daisy Dukes, no better time to put a ring on it, Crane.
- Hi, Agent Daniel Reynolds! Abbie’s looking for some Halloween chocolate. Go on, Abbie; Crane needs the punishment.
- No information on the case of the week in Washington’s Bible, Franklin’s notebook or Grace Dixon’s journal. I guess Crane will find the answer in Betsy’s push-up bra.
- Jenny and Joe! I’m not shipping them, they are like siblings. But when they sit on top of each other like that… What do you think?
- Nooooo, Sheriff Corbin would never be up to monkeyshines. Not even possible! Shut up, Show!
- Crane is driving? Good, he needs to take the lead.
- Soooo, Bones is set in DC. That’s a bit of a drive from NY, about five hours. It takes less than an hour on the plane, but they opted to drive for ten hours. Ichabbie spent the night making passionate love at the Hampton Inn. The next morning, they went down to the lobby to use the make-your-own waffle machine, then they went back to the room, requested an extended checkout, and they did it again.
- Here comes, Honey Boob Boob. Okay, that was a quick flashback and she wasn’t dressed like a Hooters girl.
- Pandora should crossover to Empire and show off that lovely voice. She’s probably the one who kidnapped Hakeem.
- Abbie’s trying to do crowd-control — as if — nobody is going to see tiny Abbie in that crowd. We are the same height, I know.
- Abbie pushes Crane to call Crexta.
- Dedication to Ichabod.
-
I look and stare so deep in your eyes/I touch on you more and more every time,
When you leave I’m begging you not to go/Call your name two or three times in a row/Such a funny thing for me to try to explain/How I’m feeling and my pride is the one to blame/’Cuz I know I don’t understand/Just how your love can do what no one else can - Abbie has a closed-door meeting with Daniel.
- Dedication to Ichabod.
- I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips/Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup/I could care less what you think/I need no permission, did I mention/Don’t pay him any attention/Cause you had your turn/And now you gonna learn/What it really feels like to miss me - Don’t worry your pretty little sleepyhead about it, just think about the waffle sex.
We love the witty and thoughtful Sleepyhead comments. They don’t appear right away, but we promise we’ll get to them.
Sleepy Hollow airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Fox

So does Crane work at the historical society or not? He introduced himself on Bones as being from historical society and Howe’s remains were being shipped to historical society. There must be an answer.
Hi Nancy! In “The Sisters Mills,” the teacher referred to him as the “surprise guest speaker” and the curator of the new Hudson Valley Historical Society, but the preceding scene with Jenny implied that it was a ruse so they could get into a classroom. We haven’t seen any evidence of gainful employment, he needs to sell Katrina’s necklace so he can buy Windex and spring for dates.
I know it was a ruse in last week’s episode but when they referenced it again and shipping Howe’s body to Historical Society it made me wonder. Can he make arrangements for Howe’s body to be shipped to Historical Society? I wish they would just drop a couple lines showing he has a job. I mean you can’t have the guy dating without cash. You think Crexta gone by mid –season finale?
The writers need to make it clear whether he is a curator, a consultant or a househusband. I can’t figure Zoe out, they write her as too much of a goofball to be a viable love interest, the show doesn’t need the comic-relief. My crystal ball says she’s a sheep in wolf’s clothing, if that’s the case they might just let her annoy everyone until the mid-season finale and then give her the duh-duh-duh cliffhanger. At this point, she has more potential relevancy than poor Betsy; what do you think?
I’m hoping she’s revealed as Pandora in a scene where Zoe transforms into Pandora. The only good thing I can say about poor Betsy is that she looks to stay in the past. Pray God
It would be Pandora’s best disguise. Amen regarding Pandora.
Love your thoughts, can’t wait to see your full recaps. You have joined my favorite recappers along the Genevive Valentine and Kim Roots.
I want to find out there’s something to Zoe, that she’s a plant and it’s her job to keep a close eye on Ichabod. It’s supposed to be cute, but I’m getting too much stalker vibe to find it cute.
Hi Bernie, thanks so much for the tremendous compliment! Agreed and Ichabod has to be under a spell. If he gets kidnapped he only hs himself to blame.
I understand slow burns and obstacles to the Ichabbie endgame, but Zoe just seems so young, like a freshman with a crush on her cute professor.
I’ve tried to give Betsy a chance but it’s just not working for me. It started with the corset, the awkward kisses, the anachronistic speech patterns and it’s gone downhill from there. At least Katrina was part of the original story and had a point. Betsy can’t even make that claim.
