Quick recap

Will Graham can see into killers' minds like no one else, and it's wearing him down. FBI agent Jack Crawford puts him on worse and worse cases and asks psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter to keep an eye on him. Will kills murderer Garrett Jacob Hobbs and bonds with his daughter, Abigail, whom Hannibal also takes under his wing. Meanwhile, Will hallucinates and loses time, and Hannibal makes it all worse. In the end, Will is accused of being the copycat killer after pieces of Abigail turn up. He realizes Hannibal is the one, but no one believes him. The season ends with Will locked up at the Baltimore State Hospital and Hannibal coming to visit.
