'Sleepy Hollow' Season 3 Episode 14 Recap: "Into the Woods"

Another exciting week all bundled up for the loyal viewers and fans of the hit TV series ‘Sleepy Hollow’ as the gang goes into an adventure packed escapade/training. So here is a recap of this week’s episode titled “Into the Woods”.

Yes, you guessed it right. The episode took place in the woods as Danny arranges an FBI survival training weekend there. This would mean that our favourite duo Abbie and Crane will be apart from each other, with Abbie joining the training and Crane off to a weekend trip in Rochester, N.Y., consulting with a professor who may be able to help them figure out what the symbol they picked up in Leeds’ workshop is made of.

Abbie welcomes the chance to get away from the supernatural and dig into her job — in the woods, where everything supernatural happens. Sure enough, a supernatural thing just happened as they delve into the woods to start their training.

At the FBI training, Daniel announces that the agents will team up and navigate — without using their cell phones — in order to reach specific coordinates. Abbie and Sophie are put on the same team, and when their third member falls ill, Daniel steps up to replace him.  Daniel and the wilderness guide Robbie assigned to their team stumble across an old well that looks like it was recently uncovered.

It turned out that a gross worm creature called the Verslinder — Dutch for “one who devours”, was in that well and was very angry. It attacked and bit Robbie.  Abbie and Sophie fight off the creature, but Robbie is in bad shape. Joined by Danny, Team FBI fashions a gurney and begins the long trek out of the woods.

After setting up camp in a cabin for the night, Danny goes out to call for help while Abby and Sophie are left to tend Robbie. Sophie, on the other hand, finds a journal from the English trapper who, along with his brother, imprisoned the Verslinder in the well. The creature gashed his brother’s hand, and the infection in the wound was enough to kill him, until they discover that once infected, they will turn into a worm.

Right on cue, Robbie ambles toward Abbie and Sophie. Since he hasn’t fully transformed quite yet, Abbie manages to knock him out. She then points out that most cases like this, in which a supernatural existence is passed down from creature to victim, can be reversed if the parent creature is killed. So they head on to find the beast and kill it.

As the creature attacked them one by one, they weren’t strong enough to kill it.

Meanwhile, Crane discovered that the symbol is actually two pieces fitted together and when Crane puts the two pieces of the symbol on the tablet, he can see what’s happening to Abbie! Just in time, he was able to find Abbie in the forest and help her take down the monster.

Good thing the symbol was not a bad thing after all. So what is your favourite part of the episode? Comment them below.
