'Sleepy Hollow' Season 3 Episode 1 Spoilers: Will Nicole Beharie/Tom Mison Meet Crane's Lover?

Fox is just days away from airing the Season 3 premiere of Sleepy Hollow. In the upcoming Episode 1, as love seems to be in the air, will Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) end up meeting Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison)'s "new romanic interest?"

After dying in the midst of battle during the Revolutionary War, solider Ichabod (Mison) awakes in the present-day Sleepy Hollow, New York. His sudden resurrection is connected to the reappearance of the Headless Horseman, who happens to be one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. To prevent the end of the world, Crane teams up with Mills (Beharie) to stop the Horseman's evil reign of terror.

As we previously mentioned, Lane Gross (Crisis) has landed the romantic interest role as Daniel Reynolds, the FBI special agent in charge. As Abbie's (Beharie) new boss. Reynolds intends on making a name for himself at the bureau with his tenacity and political savviness. His first assignment in Sleepy Hollow will eventually reunite him with Abbie.

According to Entertainment Weekly's Spoiler Room, Abbie won't be the only one dealing with a new love interest. Crane will have to find a way to get into England, even though he doesn't have any legal documents.

In a multi-arc episode, Mison reveals, "There is a lady on the scene, her name is Zoe Corinth and she's played by Maya Kazan. She's introduced because she's going to help Ichabod fill out the paperwork for his American citizenship. Of course, how could that not blossom into something when there's something as sexy as paperwork? They're kindred spirits, but he's reticent, as you can imagine."

We mentioned before, the stunning 42 actress will be featured in Playboy magazine's October issue, entitled "Becoming Attraction." Beharie appears in the sexy and safe-for-work (non-nude) photo shoot in the magazine. Along with with the eye-catching imagery, there is a behind-the-scene video starring the Sleepy Hollow beauty.

Sleepy Hollow premieres on Fox for Season 3 on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 9pm; just in time for its upcoming Halloween crossover with Bones.
