I only read the little synopsis here, but how is Katrina supposed to be a savior? Isn't she supposed to be trying to kill Ichabod? Also, Ichabod said he was an abolitionist, I'd like to see him put his money where his mouth is. I think this is the part I want to see most.
As to what possible motive they could have for this, I haven't the foggiest. This isn't the greatest sounding season finale to me, and yeah they are incredibly tone deaf when it comes to their audience, but I am going to say my curiosity is piqued.
That's a very interesting way of looking at it. Even thought I'm curious, I do not, however, want to see Ichabod treating Abbie badly in the slightest, I am certainly not here for that.
