Plot summary

Betrayed by his son, Ichabod vows to rescue Abbie, who remains trapped in purgatory. Meanwhile, Henry tracks down Jenny and uses his powers to consume her sins, obtaining a lead to a portion of Benjamin Franklin 's ( Timothy Busfield ) sketchbook. Abbie encounters Andy's condemned soul, which guides her to a magic mirror that she uses to warn Ichabod of Henry's plans. Ichabod escapes from his coffin using improvised explosives, and helps Jenny escape from Henry's thugs. They decode a hidden message in the sketchbook, which contains the location of a key that can bridge purgatory and the real world.

Entering Moloch's realm, Ichabod encounters a doppelgänger of himself, whom Abbie beheads. Escaping purgatory, they prevent Moloch from following them by allowing the key to naturally disintegrate. Moloch contacts Henry and provides him with a weapon: an enchanted suit of armor wielding a flaming sword that only he can control.
