Ichabod and Abbie take on the Weeping Lady, a local legend who turns out to be connected to Ichabod's past.


Tropes present in the episode:

  • Arranged Marriage: Ichabod and Mary were set up to be married by their fathers.
  • CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: Hawley is able to revive Abbie with relative ease after she is nearly drowned.
  • Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: The titular Weeping Lady.
  • Villain of the Week: Mary Wells aka the Weeping Lady.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: After learning that Mary died after talking with Katrina, Ichabod is pissed at Katrina for keeping secrets from him.
    Ichabod: And the letter? You wrote it, didn't you?
    Katrina: A simple enough enchantment to match her handwriting.
    Ichabod: Why? Katrina, why did you keep this from me?
    Katrina: Because I cared for you, Ichabod. You would have carried the blame, the weight of it all. No doubt you would have gone home to bury her, explain it all to her family. Who knows if and when you would have returned to your role as a Witness in this war against evil? Your mission is far too important, my love.
    Ichabod: You are my wife, Katrina, yet there is so much that you've kept from me. You were a spy for Washington. You're a witch. You were pregnant with our son, Henry. And now this.
  • Yandere: The Weeping Lady aka Mary Wells.
