- "Crane, you've seen me do this a thousand times; you have eidetic memory, do not tell me that you do not have this. Also, I happen to know that you've been practicing your driving with Jenny, who's had her license suspended twice, by the way."
- —Abbie Mills to Ichabod Crane

Synopsis[]
Abbie and Crane's search for a missing Sleepy Hollow child reveals a creature akin to the Pied Piper, whose legacy with the child's family extends back to a centuries-old curse.[1]
Recap[]
When 10 year old Sarah Lancaster is abducted by a demonic Pied Piper, Crane and Abbie discover a bone flute in the woods while searching for the girl, when Crane plays the flute, it sends Abbie into a trance. Believing this is how the Pied Piper abducted the girl, they decide to use a recording of the flute and venture back out into the woods in hopes that the entranced Abbie can lead them to the girl.
There they come across Nick Hawley, and enlist his help in locating the girl in exchange for the flute. At the Pied Piper's lair, Abbie and Crane locate the girl and unchain her, while Nick deals with the Piper, they then plant some charges to slow it down while they escape.
Once clear of the den, Nick demands the flute, telling them that the job is done, and that they should live up to their bargain. Abbie gives it to him, but breaks it first, telling him they will not give him that kind of power.
Meanwhile, Irving meets with Henry to terminate his services and learns a horrifying truth, that when he signed the contract he signed away his soul.
With Sarah reunited with her parents, Crane and Abbie are faced with a horrifying truth when the curse strikes Sarah's brothers. Her mother feels she must take Sarah into the woods to use as bait against the Piper whom she hopes to destroy. When Abbie talks her down, they are interrupted when the Piper attacks. As Crane engages it in a sword fight, Abbie finishes it off.
With the curse now broken, Nick sells the broken flute, unknowingly, to Henry who then grinds it into dust.

Trivia[]
- The US title is a quote which references to how anyone that hears the Pied Pier's music is lured to their demise. The Japanese title, which is otherwise written as "The Flute Man's Temptation" refers to the tempting musical piece itself.
- Nick Hawley calls Ichabod Crane "pride and prejudice". The actor who plays Crane, Tom Mison, also played Mr. Bingley in the limited series, Lost in Austen, which was based on characters from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
- The sword Crane takes from the Lancaster home is from a much later than an American Revolution era. The hilt was in use in the late 1800s.
- The Pied Piper is from the folk tale, The Pied Piper of Hamelin, which is about a piper hired to get rid of rodents in the town of Hamelin, and the town reneging on the contract with dire results.
- After a driving lesson, Abbie Mills calls Crane "Ricky Bobby" a reference to the feature film about auto racing, Talledega Nights.
- At one point, alluding to his height, Crane refers to himself as a "Gillygaupus." This is a now obsolete word, the primary definition of which is "a tall, awkward man." A secondary definition is "a fool." Both of these are far more indicative of the original Ichabod Crane as portrayed in Washington Irving's story than the series counterpart. Abbie indicates it's a name that has to be retired immediately.
Goofs[]
- The curse is described as "every generation", but when Abbie Mills looks up the abductions on the computer, the dates are far more closely spaced. 1909, 1911, 1913, 1914.
Body Count[]
- Various British Soldiers - Killed by Pied Piper
