What did you think of Sleepy Hollow’s “Blood and Fear?” I thought it was a solid, suspenseful, episode. Ichabod is a big fibber, though. Here are some stream-of-consciousness ramblings. The full recap will come later. Let’s go!

1. Pandora is doing a magic trick of some kind. She’s so loony, she might have a dove under that hanky. Nope, it’s a dagger. She’s by herself, so she didn’t need all that razzle-dazzle, but Pandora does everything with style.
2. Abbie and Ichabod are so married now that she knows what he’s about to say and rolls her eyes. Welcome to the club. (Don’t tell Mr. Recaps I said that…)
3. Ichabod + French = La Swoon.
4. When Abigail says “See you at home,” do you get the feels?
5. Crane is on a quest to become a U.S. citizen. He just wants an excuse for a quickie marriage to Abbie. Notice how he is all Star-Spangled Banner now that he’s single. Single-ish.
6. Consummate. Ichabod used the word “consummate.” Freudian.
7. Why is that extra still hanging around Ichabod? Who is she? Be gone, extra. Oh, she has a name. Be gone, extra with a name. We’re not learning your name, so am-scray.
8. Do not say “off-the-chain,” white guy. Stay off Urban Dictionary.
9. Pandora fashion moment of the week. Digging the smoky eye and all that “smizing” she’s doing. Pandora’s seductive dancing with that “off-the-chain” guy de-nerded him, so he won’t trot out any more slang. Pandora is not one to tolerate trifling attempts at street cred.
10. Another extra says he’ll be “be hitting that” in reference to a woman; he must be killed. The “off-the-chain” guy is glaring at the “hitting that” guy. Now the latter is dead. Okay, I will now call you by your name, which is Nelson Meyers. You’re lucky, we have taken a blood oath not to learn the name of that annoying woman who keeps trying to “hit it” with Crane.
11. The Mills sisters! Yay! Jenny is talking about her own plot and not just Team Witness matters.
12. Wait, are we saying that Ichabod had some connection with Jack the Ripper? Timeline, schimeline.
13. One time Ichabod told Abbie that he only had seven good friends or something like that. Now he knows everyone. That Crane makes up shit to impress Abbie. He’s just a historical name-dropper. He probably dated Jane Austen, had tea with Winston Churchill and opened for Beyoncé. Stop making up stories, Ichabod.
14. Any Crane flashback that does not include Tom Mison is bogus.
15. There is no reason that this Ichabbie conversation about Jack the Ripper couldn’t happen in bed.
16. More Jenny and Joe Show, yesssss! They are still looking for that shard from last week. Randall is back, goodie! He’s cuffed in the motel shower because that’s what happens to shifty characters. Shirtless Randall is something that we can all live with, agreed?
17. Oh, I see. Pandora summoned up a Jack the Ripper situation with that knife. Nelson is attached to that blade now. Pandora is so badass. She is audible, owns more than two outfits and gets stuff done. #Season3BeLike
18. For God’s sake, Ichabod is once again pretending he’s a polyglot. He’s probably just using Google translate so he can impress Abbie. He lies, just like he lied when he pretended that he accidentally killed Katrina. That was just a speedy divorce and he knows it.
19. Hey Daniel, you still here? Ichabod didn’t kill you yet? He will, and then he’ll leave a phony-baloney resignation letter. Where is Abbie’s office? We need to see that set again.
20. Asking Abbie to dinner, Daniel? It’s like you want to die. What is this, suicide by damn sexy hobo? Ichabod will sneak in disguised as a waiter and gut you with a shrimp fork. Then he’ll lie about it to Abbie and say he was with Elvis.
21. Ugh, it’s what’s-her-name again. But she can help make Ichabod a citizen. Her name is Miss Corinth. Happy now?
22. Pandora and those purple shoes. She’s always talking to herself when what she needs to do is tell us where she shops.
23. The Witnesses found Nelson the Ripper. Despite the fact that his hand is a blade, Little Abbie Oakley starts shooting. At least she’s not shooting at wraiths and watery creatures this time. She’s like Charlie Brown with the football, but it’s cute when she does it. Everything Abbie does is cute because she is perfect. She is the perfect leading lady and don’t you forget it. The old Nelson would say, “Don’t get it twisted.”
24. Back to Ripper, something, something, plot. No kissing.
25. I see this new Sleepy Hollow Parking Garage of Suspense set is going to be a thing. Randall ambushed Joe in a garage last week. Fine, it’s cool. It would be cooler with some K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
26. Ichabod and Abbie are discussing his gun. He means an actual weapon. Get your minds out of the gutters, pervs.
27. He’s talking about their similarities. Shorter Ichabod: “Our fates are entwined.” Well, at least he’s telling the truth this time.
28.  Plot, plot, blah, blah. Crane did something or other with blood samples and collapsed, so Abbie has to embrace him. She touched him last week when he was in trouble. I know because I paused and did a rewind. Don’t judge me.
29. Abbie cancels dinner on Daniel, thus saving Ichabod the trouble of pushing him face-down into the lobster bisque and then tippy-toeing away.
30. Oh, no Ichabod doesn’t feel well! That blood thing he did made him sick. Abbie sits by his side. He might be cold, this would be a good time to warm him under the covers. He’s out of it — or pretends to be — and starts murmuring about how good it is that they are together. I’m fairly certain that he will accidentally sleepwalk into her room and blame it on the meds.

The full recap is coming soon.

We live for witty and thoughtful Sleepyhead comments. They don’t appear right away, but we’ll get to it.
