#leftenant

The scene takes place during the War of 1812, and Marryat goes out of his way to emphasize that the American captain pronounces the word as "leftenant," spelling it out phonetically.

Is he trying to suggest that this is actually the pronunciation used in the United States, as opposed to the (presumably more correct) British pronunciation? It is debatable how much American accents and British accents actually differed in the early 19th century, given the considerable evidence that American and British sailors sounded very much alike.

He was downright upright all the time and since he was that righteous he turned into a self-righteous leftenant only shopping at Selfridges.

               Another one of Katrina's secrets came back to bite everyone, and it just might have been one secret too many. Ichabod was spending time with his friend from colonial reenactments, Caroline. She gave him some shirts before making her intentions known. Ichabod was quick to inform her he was married, so when Abbie walked in seconds later, Caroline jumped to a conclusion and called her Mrs. Crane. Ichabod muddled his explanation as Caroline rushed out, but Abbie was all too happy to laugh at his predicament. Ichabod's wife, Katrina, was busy working around Henry and Abraham, to get a message to Ichabod, one she sent off with a crow. Abraham informed Henry of his suspicions about Katrina, and Henry went to work, finding a secret to use against her.

               Ichabod, still upset about the events earlier, had Abbie drive him to Caroline's home to apologize in person. She was pleased that he took the time to come see her, and wanted to remain friends as well, so he left will plans to see each other at the next reenactment. But when Caroline went back inside, she heard crying, and followed the sound to a back room that seemed to be filled with water, in which a weeping woman in black sat. The second she saw Caroline, the woman came at her, screeching. The next morning, Ichabod ran towards the river, as the police were removing Caroline's body. Abbie confirmed the horrible news, and told him that she had died shortly after they left her the night before. Her car was still at home, yet there were no tracks to show where she might have entered the water. It didn't take long for Ichabod to find a scene, Caroline's mug in the sand and tire tracks, showing someone sped away. Knowing the area is a lover's lane, Abbie went to the local high school and after questioning the spirit squad, found the two teens who had been by the river the night before. They believed they had seen the weeping lady, a local legend. Abbie and Ichabod headed to the library, to search for old stories of the weeping lady. As Ichabod searched, the crow tapped on the window, and gave him the note from Katrina, reaffirming her love for him. Abbie ran into Nick during her search. He was learning to believe, and researching the apocalypse and supernatural goings on. He promised to help the next time they needed, and as he walked away, Abbie spotted the weeping lady, in a section of the library that looked like it was underwater. Abbie asked her to slowly turn around, but she came at her as Abbie fired a shot. Abbie was suddenly under water, struggling to release herself from the lady's grip. Ichabod found a puddle on the floor that was more like a portal to the river. He reached in, attempting to grab Abbie, but when he finally was able to pull her out, he thought it was too late. As he shouted her name, Nick rushed over and performed CPR until Abbie came to (considering the peril they are constantly in, Ichabod really needs to learn CPR). After being checked out by the paramedics, Abbie was ready to get right back to the fight. Ichabod had found an old story about the weeping lady, a sorrowful woman who lost her love and drowned herself. Abbie knew the woman she had seen was more angry than sorrowful, but had managed to grab a piece of the woman shawl. Ichabod recognized the fabric, having belonged to his betrothed many years ago, Mary Wells. He remembered the last day he saw her. He was with Katrina when she arrived, having come from England to bring him home. They walked alone together, and discussed him joining the colonists. She wanted him to return, so they may marry, but Ichabod wanted out. He had broken off their engagement because he did not love in that way, but she believed it was all Katrina's fault, even though Katrina was engaged to Abraham. She insisted he pack to leave, and would be waiting for him the next morning. But the next morning, he received a letter stating that she would be returning home alone and apologizing for her behavior. Abbie was quick to suggest that maybe she never really left and was the woman they were searching for, the spirit haunting the town. The spirit had never attacked until now, meaning something had changed, but it also meant any woman close to Ichabod was in danger, especially the one who did steal him away, Katrina. At that moment, Ichabod realized he had lost the note she sent him, probably when trying to rescue Abbie, so Mary now knew about his wife.

               Worried about Katrina's safety, Ichabod wanted to rush to Katrina, but Abbie insisted they make a stop at Nick's. Nick thought that saving Abbie's life made them even, but when Ichabod explained the situation, he agreed he might be able to help. He offered them a weapon that could work, which they took and left for Headless's cabin. They didn't know how to get in with him around him, but then he rushed out on his horse. Knowing his haste meant Katrina had probably been attacked, they ran inside, only to find the letter in a black puddle. Abbie told Ichabod she had seen the bridge above the river when she was attacked, so they might still have a chance to save Katrina. Katrina had used her powers to free herself from Mary's grasp and made it to land when Ichabod and Abbie found her. They filled Katrina in on the spirit's true identity, and Katrina pointed out that Henry must have been the one who brought her out. Katrina could send her soul away, but needed Abbie's help. So while she and Abbie repeated the words of the spell, Ichabod tried to talk to Mary. He could finally see her face, but he wasn't reaching her, and when he used Nick's weapon it did nothing but make her angrier. She went after Katrina, but they had completed the spell, and Mary collapsed to the ground. Ichabod asked her what had happened all those years ago, and she pointed to Katrina before she was gone. He demanded to know what Katrina had done, and she confessed that after he and Mary parted ways, Mary asked her to meet by the river. Katrina tried to dispel Mary's belief about her and Ichabod, but Mary just became more jealous and furious and when she came at Katrina, she tripped and fell off the cliff. When Katrina got to her on the sand below, she was dead, having hit her head. Katrina was worried Ichabod would have insisted on returning Mary's body to England personally, with his return to the colonies unknown, and she couldn't let that happen. So with a simple spell, she forged the letter. But Katrina had lied once again, and Ichabod was furious. But they couldn't talk long, because Headless rode up. He was about to attack when Katrina told him the spirit had taken her, not Ichabod, and they left together.

               Ichabod and Abbie's latest problem was money that literal brings out the worst in people. They went to check in with Irving at Tarrytown Psychiatric, and learned that they were barred from seeing him by his new lawyer, Henry Parrish. They were, however, able to track Henry from the cab he took to a local bank. Seconds after they saw Henry leave the bank, gun shots rang out from inside, so Abbie ran in. She found a teller, who Abbie knew, gun in hand, having shot the guard. She was ranting about her anger toward the bank, until Reyes came in and shot and killed her. Upset she barely got a chance to talk her down, Abbie went to Ichabod to figure out what happened. Back at the archives, Abbie was reviewing the security footage, when Ichabod spotted the teller pocketing a coin Henry had given her. He remembered, during the war, coming across coins with Benedict Arnold, who turned shortly after being exposed to the coins. Now they needed to find it.

               Reyes was watching Jenny as she was released from jail, and admitted to knowing the girls' mother years earlier (is it just me, or is Reyes paying too much attention to the Mills sisters). Jenny then joined up with Ichabod and Abbie in the archives. She suggested they meet an old friend of hers, Nick Hawley, who deals with items of a supernatural nature. After viewing Reyes files, Jenny argued with Abbie over Reyes's connection to their mother, and Abbie's previous knowledge of that fact. What Abbie hadn't known was that Reyes's testimony had put their mother in the psych ward. Abbie tried to defend Reyes, but it only upset Jenny and she left. Abbie and Ichabod tracked down Nick, and inquired about the coin. He agreed to help for a price, but as they walked away he told them it might be an old roman coin. Ichabod instantly remembered that Benedict Arnold had opened a chest with 30 silver coins like that, which Abbie thought were similar to the 30 pieces of silver Judas was given. As they were figuring out Henry's plan and historical connections, a bomb went off at a flower shop in town.

               They returned to the archives, and reviewed the footage from the bank, seeing the bomber, who had stayed behind to help his father run his flower shop, but clearly hadn't been as ok with the situation as it seemed. He had been booked with a coin, but before they could stop by evidence, Abbie was called in by Reyes. She wanted to know why her records had been accessed. Abbie covered for Jenny, saying she wanted to know why she didn't mention more about her mother. Reyes understood, and Abbie went on her way, but she noticed Henry, who was now the bomber's lawyer, so she left Ichabod to talk with him while she went to evidence. He confronted Henry about the coin, but Henry simply said it doesn't turn people, but bring out the darkness that is already there. Ichabod tried to have more faith in people, but Henry believed otherwise, and as he walked away, Reyes confronted Ichabod. Although he was in his rights to be there, she could not find record of his existence, prompting a frighten look from Ichabod as he hurried off and promised to bring her his id later. Abbie had finally made it to evidence, but not before Henry, who had switched the coin with a quarter.

               Katrina continued to spy on Henry and Abraham's conversations. She overheard that Henry was staying at the house in which Katrina gave birth to him all those years ago, something she saw as hope. Once alone, Katrina and Abraham talked, and she revealed to him that if Henry was living in his family home, it was because he was searching for a connection to his mother. But later, Henry looked in on the room in which is his mother gave birth to him and set the remains of the bed ablaze.

               Jenny was completing her community service, when she spotted a coin. She foolishly picked it up and the darkness came over her. Abbie and Ichabod checked in with Nick, his beers only frustrated Ichabod more as he rambled about his lack of identification. Nick had seen Jenny earlier, and she was acting weird and stole one of his guns. Abbie and Ichabod deduced she must be under the influence of the coin and coming to kill Abbie. Nick knew of the way to protect them from the coin, so he and Ichabod went to a church, and as Ichabod distracted the priest, Nick broke a window and took some of the glass. Abbie went to the precinct, but Jenny wasn't there, so she had her GPS tracked. An officer also informed her that Reyes had been looking for her, but was out hunting. When they located Jenny's vehicle, it was heading toward Reyes's location, and Abbie realized that Jenny wasn't going after her, but Reyes. The trio met up in the woods and began searching for Jenny. Ichabod voiced his concern over Nick's intentions, while Abbie finally came clean over her worries about Katrina choosing her son over them when it counted. They saw Reyes, and Jenny getting into position. As they separated to surround Jenny, she spotted them, but not before Abbie came up in front of  her. She attempted to talk her down, going so far as to say she would take the shot. She confessed all of her anger and fury over what happened to their mother, but her desire to know the truth, and if Reyes died, some truth might die with her. She distracted Jenny enough for Ichabod to tackle her. The coin almost got to Abbie, but Ichabod kicked it out of the way and Nick caught it between two pieces of stained glass. Just as Ichabod was about to admit to miss judging Nick, he turned to find Nick gone.
