3. Heads of State

Complete story — includes the ending

While helping Ichabod look for an apartment, Jenny urges him to reveal Molly's secret to Diana. That evening, a mounted policeman stages an assassination attempt on the President, and turns out to be the Headless Horseman in disguise. While investigating the scene, the group discovers protective magic glyphs left by Benjamin Banneker, and Crane's clumsy attempt to explain how he knows this leads to Diana's discovery that he is a time traveler. Jenny discovers that a surviving collection of Banneker's papers is in Dreyfuss' hands, and Diana and Ichabod learn from him of the existence of "J Street", which Banneker designed as a trap for supernatural beings. After conversing with Jenny, in which she mentions the four white trees she saw as a child, Diana finds similar drawings in Molly's sketchbook. The group lures the Horseman into an isolated location, which they then seal off using the glyphs. Diana refuses to let Ichabod train her daughter to become a Witness, while Dreyfuss visits the Horseman and frees him in exchange for his assistance. While building some furniture, Ichabod is attacked by an unknown entity.
