He tells Jack that the bodies in the river are the bodies that the killer had rejected. The FBI team finds other people who are also missing. Without any leads, Beverly Katz takes the photos of the missing person to Will so he can find a pattern. Will looks through the photos and points out that the killer is murdering people to get a color palate of skin color.

Trivia[]
- "Kaiseki" refers to a traditional Japanese multi-course dinner and the skills needed to prepare one.
- Since the episode would begin with many talking scenes, Bryan Fuller felt that adding the fight scene in episode 13 of the second season would give more energy to the episode. When asked by AV Club if he felt bad for giving away the ending, Bryan told the interviewer that there was enough surprises in the season so he did not feel guilty about giving that Jack would fight Hannibal.
