Sleepy Hollow Lionized: Crane Duels Abraham

I have to say Sleepy Hollow's Season 2 Episode "Magnum Opus" is one of my Top 3 episodes of the Season there's so much going on in that episode it always keeps me on the edge of my seat whenever I've rewatched the series. Especially the duel between Abraham (Headless) and Crane which is what this scene here is about today.

Crane receives a brief mirror contact from Katrina while he and Abbie research Grace Dixon's journal which reveals a secret weapon, the Sword of Methuselah. Katrina warns him they must hurry in obtaining the sword, or the Horseman of Death would beat the Witnesses to it. As Crane and Abbie reach their destination, the Horseman arrives as well. They hide from him as he attempts to enter the hidden cellar. But he is distracted when Abbie accidentally knocks over a brick.

The Horseman closes in on her hiding place, and then Crane chooses to distract him by yelling his name. The sun rises, forcing the Horseman to flee. Crane leads the way down where they encounter stone statues. One of them was identified by M. Dixon scratched on to the lamp it was holding; Abbie's ancestor. Crane came to the conclusion they were not statues but petrified people, and one mythological beast could do that; a Gorgon. Abbie decides the Horseman should be first in, in order to distract the monster since he had no eyes.

They wait for sunset, and with Death taking the lead, Crane and Abbie follow. As the two monsters battle, Crane uses his smart phone's camera to avoid eye contact, and still keep tabs on the fight. With the Horseman distracted, they head into a chamber where numerous swords surround a vessel of liquid. Crane tells Abbie to choose carefully, she may get only one guess, and there may be a trap if she is wrong. He then faces Abraham, literally, he can see Abraham's head as a result of the chamber's magics. He challenges him to a duel, Abraham accepts, and they battle in earnest.

Eventually, Crane retreats to the chamber and Abbie has picked the wrong sword, and all the blades turn to snakes. When the Horseman then enters, she sees his face as well, and tells him there's no sword. Crane confronts him, then a the sound of a horn being blown stops them. It shakes the cave, and it is a sign that Moloch has entered Earth. Crane and Abbie discover that the container of liquid contains oil, not water. A single torch lowered into it causes the flame to be extinguished. But when both Witnesses put in their torches together, Methuselah's Sword is revealed. With it in hand Crane declares, "Moloch shall not rise."
