Complete story — includes the ending

Katrina draws the Horseman's suspicions when she reaches out to Ichabod with a letter carried by a bird. Meanwhile, Ichabod and Abbie investigate the death of a woman who appears to have drowned in her house. Ichabod identifies the culprit as "The Weeping Lady", the ghost of a woman who accidentally drowned centuries earlier. After the Lady attacks Abbie in a library and nearly kills her, Ichabod realizes that she is actually Mary Wells, who was once betrothed to him. After he chose Katrina, she sent him a letter explaining her decision to return to England. Suspecting that she will go after Katrina next, Ichabod and Abbie help the latter perform a ritual to return Mary to the afterlife. Katrina admits that she faked the letter to cover up Mary's death, straining her relationship with Ichabod. Meanwhile, an angry Moloch informs Henry that he must bring him Katrina so that he can use her magic to restore his physical body.
