Plot Summary[]
Hannibal is brought in for questioning. As Hannibal speaks, Miriam Lass listens to him through a one way mirror to see if she can recognize his voice as the killer who kidnapped her. She concludes that she does not know Hannibal's voice. Meanwhile, Will is released from the Chilton's institution after hair from the Chesapeake Ripper's victims were discovered on the guard's body that Hannibal had killed. As Will is released, Chilton offers his help to dig up Miriam's memories so he could save himself from Hannibal's wrath.
Jack picks up Will at the hospital to take him to the scene where he found Miriam. There, they find Beverly Katz's blood and the flowers found in the dead councilmen's body. Will analyzes the room and concludes that the ripper wanted Jack to find Miriam alive. Later that night, Will break into Hannibal's home and threatens to kill him. He ultimately stops short of shooting him and leaves.
In the abandoned property, the FBI find evidence that could point to either Hannibal or Chilton. Jack orders both the men be brought in for questioning. Meanwhile Chilton, returns home to find the dead, mutilated body of Abel Gideon. Hannibal tells Chilton that the police are coming and knocks him out. When Chilton awakens, he is covered in Gideon's blood and is holding a gun. He quickly flees to Will Graham's home where he begs for advice. Instead of helping him, Will calls Jack, who apprehends Chilton. As Miriam watches Chilton talk, she becomes agitated and shoots Chilton, killing him immediately.

Trivia[]
- Due to budget constraints, the showrunners were not able to show everything in the mythology. One of the scenes they weren't able to produce were the steam tunnels that Hannibal uses to leave his house without anyone seeing him. In this episode, Fuller states that he had imagined that Hannibal used these tunnels to go to Chilton's house and leave without anyone noticing.
