Meh. There was a lot that bugged me but Abbie/Ichabod were lovely as always.
Starting with the positive:
+ The Abbie/Ichabod storyline was lovely. As almost always I enjoyed all their scenes. I loved her telling him that 'where he goes she goes', I loved him telling her that she is the best partner and "When it concerns you and me, Leftenant, there is no greater certainty." I loved them holding hands as they walked into the Catacombs. Also Ichabod teasing her about her chess pieces and confessing that he too had long conversations with her while she was missing.
+ I loved the opening scene. It was utterly adorable. I love them bringing each other something decadent they knew the other would like. I especially loved the bit where they shared the others treat – a piece broken off, a sip from the cup. It was very cute.
+ Despite being annoyed with Danny taking charge I actually quite liked him. He was calm and focused. He was very determined in his desire to help. I liked him confessing the truth about spying to Sophie. I loved that little moment with Pandora where he tells her that they could ‘protect her from him’. It was sweet.
+ I just really liked Joe's casual "Watch your back, babe." when he left Jenny. But no kiss?
+ Joe repeating over "It's okay. You had to." as he was dying, still trying to protect Jenny, was moving.
And the rest:
+ I’m pissed off by Jenny going after the Hidden One. WTF?! The most aggravating moment of the episode. That was so moronic that I’m mostly mad at the writers here. Jenny is impetuous but not an idiot. He’s a freaking god, that they’ve been fighting unsuccessfully for ages now and she tried to ‘take him out’ with a handgun? Which she freaking knows doesn’t work on him? BULLSHIT! Ugh.
+ I'm not even sure how I feel about Joe's death. It's sad for Jenny and the others. I've enjoyed a lot of moments he's had with our main three but I'm strangely unmoved. Possibly the irritation over everything else is preventing me from feeling anything else. Plus I'm annoyed they made Jenny inadvertently a part of the reason he died.
+ I’m annoyed that instead of ended the episode on Jenny killing Joe they ended with Ichabod and Abby hearing Betsy’s story and learning that she still thinks it’s 1777. Which, uh, no shit. Why is this treated as such an important and momentous moment that is deserves final scene and swelling music?
+ I'm so unbelievably irritated by Danny taking charge of the second group instead of Jenny. He literally just learned that the supernatural exists, knows barely anything about anything including the situation they were in and yet he’s the one giving orders? Fuck that.
+ I am really not sure how I feel about Mr. Mills knowing the truth. On the one hand, it’s an interesting little twist. On the other, unless magic is involved in some way he is a serious asshole and they should totally cut him back out of their lives. He’s known this entire time about the supernatural? That makes everything so much worse. When the entire Witness situation happened in the pilot why didn't he try and make contact with Abbie? Jenny spent years running around the world right in the middle of the supernatural world so why did he never try and meet up with her?
+ I’m still disappointed by where the show went with Pandora and the Hidden One. Just once can we have a bad guy couple that truly deeply loves and respects each other, which isn’t proven false and where neither betrays the other?
+ Oh, car commercials in the middle of episodes.
+ Betsy making her way into the present – meh. The best part of her was that she was confined to the occasional flashback.
