Saving Hope Season 4 Finale' title='Saving Hope Season 4 Finale' />Sleepy Hollow season finale EP explains Cranes choice. Only on Sleepy Hollow could a deal with the devil feel a little bit like closure. The fourth season of Foxs supernatural drama wrapped up Friday with an hour that put a lot right Crane Tom Mison, Diana Janina Gavankar, and Lara Seychelle Gabriel found a way to kill the unkillable Dreyfuss Jeremy Davies and stop the Horsemen. Crane even talked Henry John Noble into standing down from the fight. And by saving the president, he earned himself an express ticket to U. S. Hes already registered to vote. But while the future looks bright for the Vault which can now officially count Crane, Diana, and Jenny Lyndie Greenwood among its ranks there is one thing Crane hasnt mentioned. Its just a little thing He promised his soul to the devil. In a trip to hell, in an effort to bargain for the Philosophers Stone that would allow them to circumvent Dreyfuss immortality, Crane offered himself to balance the scales. As the devil played deliciously in this episode by Terrence Mann is so fond of repeating, a contract is a contract, but Crane still seems surprisingly calm about the whole arrangement. EW caught up with executive producer Raven Metzner, who wrote the episode, to talk about Cranes sacrifice, what happens next, and what fans can take from this finale if Sleepy Hollow which has yet to be renewed for a fifth season ends here.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Crane literally sold his soul to the devil Hows he going to get out of this one RAVEN METZNER You know, we all were looking for a way to have this character who we know and love come to solid ground. Hes long been searching for a place in the modern world. Hes a man out of time. The question of the Washington letter and what that meant, the fact that hes had his life rocked in losing the person he cared about more than anyone in the world, the fact that he sort of had lost his family along the way these were all things that were challenges, and we wanted to find a way to solve some of those things for him, or at least start to solve them. To place him into a family that he felt comfortable with and into a role that he felt comfortable with. And give him his citizenship as an American citizen, which we thought would be really powerful for him and something he never had and always wanted. But we also wanted to give him a challenge that, if we were to get subsequent seasons, would present an interesting problem. Because we had the Dreyfuss character all the way through, we thought it would be interesting to mirror them and give Crane a similar conundrum. Hes seen the worst version of what it can do to someone now hes got to figure his way out. That last bit of dialogue was something we talked about a lot, and actually Its Tuesday. Like, I can deal with it. If this is the final episode, I think Cranes attitude about it is enough that I think fans would trust that he would find his way out of it. If its not, and we get more seasons to tell this story, then I think its a great problem to be played out. With Henry, Crane makes this grand speech about how freedom is the most important thing, but now Crane is, in a way, not free. Can you talk about that contrast between sacrificing your freedom out of hatred and sacrificing it out of love Oh, thats actually a really nice way to put it. Yeah, the theme of freedom running through. First and foremost, theres Malcolm Dreyfuss desire to rule through tyranny and his belief that as a corporate head, he knows whats best and he can decide peoples fates. Crane has always been a voice for democracy and for the idea of personal freedom and a country that is built on the ideals of freedom, so their battle of wills through the season has been about that. And Cranes triumph, and the teams triumph, in defeating Dreyfuss is a triumph for freedom over tyranny. At the same time, we have this personal drama between Crane and Henry thats introduced at the top of the episode in their duel. For Crane to realize that the one thing they do connect about is that ideal if you think about Henry in season 2, Henry killed Moloch because he didnt want anyone lording over him, and he didnt want to be part of having Moloch push him around. Also in season 2, he tried to create a free nation of witches because he believed they needed to be free. So I think Crane recognizes that thats their commonality. The larger piece thats interesting that you just brought up, about how Crane has just taken on this deal in which his soul is owed to someone he sort of has a lien placed on him, so the devil, or the devil weve met, hasnt taken his soul yet. Its a soul that is due on the day that he dies, so he still has his soul, he still has his freedom. Its more that he knows hell have to find a way to defeat this bargain hes made before the day he dies. If the show goes forward, could we see Henry again Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, that was another big hope of ours in having him walk off as he does He remains. And we love working with John Noble. Hes just lovely. This episode has a really distinct concept of hell. I saw a couple of the influences you quote Dante Crane mentions Sartre but how did you come up with what hell would look like in the world of Sleepy HollowI worked really closely with our producing director Russell Fine, who directed this episode. Even from the inception of the episode, he and I had many conversations, and I was able to go out there with him for the entirety of shooting. I had this idea in my head, sort of the Sartre thing not just that hell is people, but that everyone would see hell differently. So I pitched him this idea of How about we do a scene where were in two places at once Where were seeing both Laras hell and Cranes hell And we shot the same scene in two different locations, and he did this brilliant job of literally placing the cameras in exactly the same positions on two totally different takes in different places so we could match it, which I thought was amazing. Then I had this idea, because this devil is the one that Malcolm Dreyfuss made the deal with, I said to Russell, Maybe we should be in a more corporate world. Like you come into some office and its the devils office. Jobe was always dressing so nicely, it just made sense to me. And he called me one day like, I have a different idea. Let me send you a picture. He sent me a picture literally you see the angle in the show of that elevator coming down with the lights, and hes like, I think this is hell.

Originally, Corey Castellano, hes our makeup master we were going to do maggots and spiders crawling out of his face, and then he built that beautiful cracked face piece to put on our amazing actor. In happier news, the Vault saved the president. Will she play a big role if the show continues The idea is that as the show goes forward, theres a new paradigm, which is Crane has now officially realized the hope that both Washington and Benjamin Banneker had for him that he would one day be a part of the Vault. And you know Jenny and Diana would absolutely now be officially a part of it, and Jake. So it sets up a paradigm of a more official use of our team in going after. We would definitely find ways to twist that and turn that. I thought the actress who played the president did a great job, so we would love to have her come back, but I think its more about giving them a new, more official role. If this does turn out to be the end, what do you want fans to take from this finale I hope they look at it as Crane has, which is that hes come a very long way in the course of the series. He came out of the ground with no one and no idea about how this modern world works and what his place in it would be. He found friends and people who were incredibly important to him. Like fellow ABC bubble drama Castle, which too got a shocking cancellation, I hear Nashville filmed two endings of its Season 4 finale a cliffhanger one and a happily ever after one in case of a cancellation. While Castle used the alternative ending that gave fans closure, Nashville went for the cliffhanger option in its final episode on ABC. The move by Nashville producer Lionsgate TV to forego the nicely wrapped up series finale ending it had in the can for a cliffhanger is a testament to the level of confidence Lionsgate has that it would find another home for the show. The studio sprang into action the moment ABCs surprising decision to cancel. Nashville came on May 1. I hear the country music drama was pitched to streaming services and traditional networks, including Hulu, Lifetime, CMT and possibly BravoE, and I hear there is a possible dual play on a streaming platform and a traditional network. Hulu has been considered a likely home because it already carries Nashville. Then there are the basic cable and premium networks that Lionsgate is a co owner in, Pop and EPIX. Besides the twist in the last few seconds when Avery   at the airport with baby Cadence awaiting Juliette Hayden Panettiere  is whisked away with the bad news about trouble with Juliettes plane, the finale nicely tied up most loose ends of Season 4, including Maddies emancipation saga, Jeff Fordhams heroic death and the Scarlett Gunnar and Will Kevin relationships. Luke and Wills mission to win over detractors who would not accept an openly gay country artist hits a snag when bigoted conservative talk show host Cynthia Davis would not have Will on his show.

Will wins and gets back together with Kevin too, as the two kiss. Meanwhile, Luke gets closer to his son Colt and reconnects with his ex wife, with a happy reconciliation on the horizon there too.

He, along with Laylas manager, independently realize that Layla was behind the leak and both dump her. Avery is especially enraged as he realizes he had been used by Layla to exact revenge on Juliette.
