Tonight on FOX their new mystery-adventure drama SLEEPY HOLLOW continues with a new episode called, “For the Triumph of Evil.” On tonight’s show Mr. Sandman give me a nightmare? Did you watch last week’s premiere episode? We did and we recapped it right here for you!
On last week’s show still adjusting to his 21st century reality, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison) and Det. ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie) moved forward in their mission to unravel the mysteries lurking in Sleepy Hollow. A frightful vision from Ichabod’s former wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter), sent the unlikely duo on the hunt for a vengeful witch from the 1700s who had been awoken by unknown evils and was on a path of destruction in the quaint town. Meanwhile, despite all odds, Officer ANDY BROOKS (John Cho) was back and on a questionable mission of his own.
On tonight’s show Another soldier in the army of evil, the Sandman, seeps into the dreams of the residents of Sleepy Hollow. By infiltrating their minds at night, he tortures them to the brink – all because they, at one time, turned a blind eye to justice. When the Sandman seemingly sets his sights on Abbie, she is forced to begin to face her past – and her institutionalized sister, JENNY (guest star Lyndie Greenwood). With Ichabod by her side, and her life at stake, the duo must try to defeat the Sandman and continue their fight against evil.
onight’s Sleepy Hollow premiere is going to be exciting, and you won’t want to miss. So be sure to tune in for our live coverage of Sleepy Hollow — tonight at 9PM EST!
