Jenny and Abbie’s father enters the picture as Abbie takes a surprising turn.

As far asSleepy Hollowvillains go, the Hidden One isnt at the top of the heap.

Even his title is empty: the Hidden One.

With a name like that, of course he isnt relatable.

Tired of Pandoras moping, the Hidden One grants her a fraction of her original powers back.

Now, like him, she can know what it is to be so close and yet so far.

You wish to be my equal, he says.

Then as I suffer, so shall you.

And then it all becomes clear: the Hidden One isnt one of those ordinary monsters and demons.

Hes not a character; hes the writers.

All three are in play tonight as Atticus Nevins returns to town.

(Fun fact about this town: 75 percent of meetings take place at dead bodies.

Nevins claims that he first saw the creature when he was serving in Iraq back in 1991.

The creature interrupted them, setting Corbin on the supernatural quest that would define the rest of his life.

Team Witness argues that none of Corbins files say anything about this creature, but surprise!

those file cabinets have hidden compartments.

Im honestly disappointed that no one figured this out before.

Sophie and Joe are spared, but Abbie and Crane are about to be in the line of fire.

Crane uses a Betsy Ross flag as a weapon.

This is why we are all here.

Moloch would be so disappointed in her standards.

Down in the tunnels, Joe corners Nevins, but Nevins has already cornered Jenny.

This is their bedroom talk.

Jenny wishes the same thing, but not because she cant talk to her dad.

Shes got that part covered.

Thanks to a push from Joe, Jenny accepts her fathers invitation to meet at a local diner.

Abbie has other concerns.

Shes not asking for fun.

Ezra explains that it was like her mother was living in two worlds; Abbie knows the feeling.

Now she just has to talk to them, and not about sandwiches.

As soon as Crane is gone, Abbie takes her journal with her to a shed out back.

Hidden behind a tarp in the corner of the room is that symbol on the wall.

Abbie touches it lovingly, then kneels and folds her arms.

You saved me, she says.

The symbol is scribbled on every page of her journal.

Reasonably, I know I should be tired of this.

Weve done a possession storyline every season, sometimes more than once.
