Ichabod is feeling the pressure of losing the battle in several aspects, the Historical Society, Pandora’s plans, and his out of place feeling in the 21st century. Before when he first woke up in the new world, new century, he had a mission, a wife and also a son. Now that his family is gone, his mission to save the world from Moloch is done, so where does that leave him.
Reynolds stops by and asks Abbie to be the Agent in Charge while he is gone to Washington to talk to his superiors about an extension on the Nevins case. Nevins is seen rummaging through his office looking frantically for something when Foster enters. She asks him to give her a second chance to get the Shard back from Jenny. He is not swayed by her request and ignores her. He finally finds what he is looking for and leaves Foster alone in his office. Nevins is at Pandora’s lair reciting a spell that brings out Pandora’s Box. Three very large creatures appear behind him. He still has the casing that held the Shard and lets the creatures smell it. It seems that Nevins wants to use these creatures as blood hounds to track down Jenny Mills.
Jenny and Joe get some down time by boxing their issues out. They talk about Joe’s new found inheritance and what to do with it. Her body suddenly glows and her behavior changes. Her speed and strength doubles and gives Joe a major beat down. Jenny is not aware of her doing that. She has the same vision of the ancient writings and the mysterious figure. Abbie is shocked that Jenny went to Nevins behind her back. But she is more worried that the Shard is affecting her. Ichabod discovers what Jenny had is a Binding Stone. It is a way to absorb mystical powers directly into the body. He warns her that something this powerful can be deadly for humans. The blood hound creatures find them and they fight their way to escape, but Jenny stays behind and goes on the offensive and attacks them with unnatural ferocity.
Abbie, Joe, Jenny and Ichabod head back to the Archives to figure out how to stop these unstoppable creatures. Ichabod discovers that Nevins is working with Pandora and that is how he is able to summon them. While trying to find a solution to stop these creatures, Ichabod and Joe talk about the Mills sisters. They know they are important to them, but Ichabod gets the feeling that Joe really cares for Jenny and tells him to tell her. Ichabod figures out that these creatures are drawn to Jenny and figures what kind of creature they are dealing with. Norse Berserkers are what they are dealing with. Their minds and behavior is focused on one single mission and they won’t stop. Their weakness is Mistletoe. Mistletoe has druidic powers that Celtic priests would soak its sap on their arrows. Joe and Ichabod go after the Berserkers while Jenny is in the Archives in a Masonic Cell for protection with Abbie there. Unfortunately, the Mistletoe arrows were ineffective on the Berserkers. Ichabod wants to go to Nevins place to find the original spell he used. Abbie is resistant to that, but he convinces her to let him go. There he finds the spell, but is stopped by Foster. He uses his charm and wit to get out this situation. Back in the Archives, Ichabod figures out that Nevin changed the spell from a Norse spell to fit Pandora’s spell, which is why the Mistletoe didn’t work. He comes up with a plan to stop them by using the strategies from Daniel Boone. He tells Abbie that the British were using Hessian soldiers to fight the colonials. Boone thought of a way to eliminate both British and Hessian soldiers by making them fight one another. He succeeded in doing so. Before they go out and fight the Berserkers, Joe is with Jenny in the Masonic cell. He tells her that he really cares for her and kisses her, she kisses him back. In the woods, Abbie, Joe, and Ichabod prepare themselves for the Berserkers. When they arrive, they pour Jenny’s blood on each of the creatures so the scent will be on them. They fight each other and kill themselves. After the defeat of these creatures, Ichabod talks to Abbie about his role in the 21st century and how it is his unbeatable enemy. Abbie reassures him that he is not alone, and that she will be there to help him. Nevins and Foster stop them and demands to know where is Jenny. Ichabod tells him that he knows is he is working Pandora, but Nevins says that he is working for someone far more powerful than her. Just then Foster turns her gun on Nevins and places him under arrest. She is FBI undercover working for Reynolds. Abbie is surprised Reynolds never mentioned he had an agent on the inside. Foster tells Abbie that Nevins’ men are looking for her. Abbie, Ichabod, and Joe go to the Archives and finds Jenny missing, but she did write stuff on the cell walls. The writings make Ichabod nervous and fear that Jenny has gotten worse.
Jenny is seen in Pandora’s lair putting her arms in a pool that springs to life. Pandora walks out of the tree with someone in a hood. “Behold my Glory, I have arrived.” The hooded man said, and then he raises a curved blade towards Jenny.
This is another great episode until the fall season finale. Pandora is a great adversary for the Witnesses. I hope we see more of her next season. The final confrontation with the Witnesses and Pandora is finally here. How will it end? We shall see.
