Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) were outnumbered and outwitted at the end of the series' freshman season, and the two witnesses will need a little extra supernatural firepower as the Apocalypse draws nearer.

It's sort of a doppelganger of someone you might've seen," said Roberto Orci, according to TV Guide. "Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire."
