Hannibal

Will goes on trial for the copycat murders, and it ends in a mistrial. He gets out after Miriam Lass, an agent everyone thought was dead, names Chilton as the Chesapeake Ripper. Will knows Hannibal set it all up and starts playing both sides: he goes back to therapy with him while helping Crawford build a trap. Along the way, Hannibal manipulates the Verger siblings, and Mason ends up mutilated. In the finale, Crawford arrives for dinner and fights Hannibal. Abigail, alive all along, pushes Alana out a window. Hannibal wounds Will and Abigail, leaves everyone bleeding and flies off with Bedelia Du Maurier.
