Complete story — includes the ending

While visiting Irving, Ichabod and Abbie learn that Henry, in his capacity as Irving's lawyer, has banned them from seeing him. Jenny is freed after Abbie gets the sheriff to reduce her sentence to community service, and the two sisters argue about trust and their complicated past. Ichabod and Abbie learn that Henry has brought a cursed coin that corrupts its owner (which is what caused Benedict Arnold to turn against Washington) to Sleepy Hollow. After several murders, the coin is taken into police custody, where Henry swipes it and gives it to Jenny, driving her to seek the death of the new sheriff out of revenge for her mother (who died in the same asylum where Jenny was imprisoned). Abbie and Ichabod, with the help of Jenny's old friend Nick Hawley, are able to talk her out of it, and seal the coin in a piece of sanctified glass. Enraged, Henry returns to his childhood home and burns the bed where he was born.
