Losing a key member of Team Witness was emotional enough; losing an actual Witness is something else.
Looking back, its almost unsurprising Pandora called out Abbie earlier this season for not craving mortality.
But despite the warning signs, I didnt expect this.

What isSleepy Hollowwithout the dynamic between the lef-tenant and the man she calls Crane?
Watching Ragnarok as if its the series finale, it mostly works.
Abbie Mills dies saving the world.
That makes what should be a fitting eulogy feel like its shortchanging her by default.
Ragnarok starts out well.
Is Betsy Ross the anti-Katrina?
I wish that were the episodes biggest twist.
As for the Witnesses, theyre left alone to deal with the fallout of Pandoras latest betrayal.
None of her detailed instructions for restoring the box bothered to mention one ingredient: a Witness soul.
Crane narrowly rescues Abbie from the boxs first attempt to snag her, but something is still wrong.
Shes wobbly on her feet.
Abbie knows what she has to do.
Crane, never give up hope, she tells her partner.

She makes it work.
She opens her box, and they all run screaming.
Now shes just toying with everyone.
Imagine how much more fun we could have had if Pandora were the sole villain all season.
Wasnt she enough for us?
Only oneSleepy Hollowvillain could ever compare and hes about to ride again.
Crane has the skull.
Pandora has the box.
Welcome back, Headless Horseman.
And isnt this show supposed to be fun?
Crane joins forces with Headless to defeat Pandora, then talks his old foe out of killing him.
But Abbies soul was never in the box.
Shes really dead or at least on her way there.
Thats one round of closure for everyone.
Head here for more details.
I doubt Pandora gets to go to that bar.
After joining Betsy in the Stating the Obvious department You love her, dont you?
His hair is long again; shes in her old SHPD lieutenants uniform.
NEXT: Men in black
In a flash, Crane and Abbie are back in the archives.
Theyre in a waiting room between life and death, she explains, and Cranes journey isnt over.
But isnt that already a new beginning?
What is there for me in a world without you?
The time to be vague about it has passed.
Lets just have the conversation.
Then again, if the conversation is going to sound like Abbies pep talk, maybe they shouldnt.
Speaking of Cranes other partners and mentors, Abbie says, Our job was to carry you forward.
My job is done.
Crane shuts it down, but he shouldnt have to.
Jenny is really getting the shaft in all of this.
Now to the unfinished business that is the future of this show.
Ezra shows up at the cemetery to drop a couple of revelations on Crane.
