- The search for serial killer Francis Dolarhyde heats up as Will delves into dangerous territory. He envisions himself in Dolarhyde's psyche and contacts Hannibal Lecter for help in profiling the killer.
- Lecter agrees to discuss the Dolarhyde murders with Graham, saying that he is family. Through flashback, Lecter takes Abigail Hobbs' blood, which he uses to spray around the staged crime scene. While waiting for Lecter to read through the case file, Graham talks with Alana, where she reveals that she and Margot are still together, and that they have a boy, a Verger heir, which she carried. Graham tells her not to worry about him. Bloom tells him that she is not just worried about him, but that last time it did not end with him. Graham and Lecter have their discussion. Bloom visits Lecter afterward, stating that he does not have Graham's best interest at heart, and warning him that the improvements to his cell are conditional; if he doesn't behave himself, she'll take away his drawings, his books and his toilet. She knows that above all, Hannibal values his dignity. In a flashback, we see Lecter in a therapy session with Abigail, where he has placed her father's body in a chair, and states that he showed her love by cutting her throat. He tells her that she is denying his love because of what it might say about her, and asks her to show him the same courtesy; she then slits her father's throat. Graham watches video of a family that was murdered; Dolarhyde watches a film and writhes in pain; he has hallucinated growing a tail. Price, Zeller, and Graham discuss the murders further with Crawford. Graham goes to a crime scene, where he meets Lounds, where he berates her for taking photos of him in the hospital, and writing that he and Lecter were co-conspirators. Dolarhyde is seen reading Lounds' report. He goes to the film developing lab where he meets Reba McClane, a blind woman. She agrees to help him get film and develop it for him. He drives her home, and they have a conversation. She asks to touch his face to know if he's smiling or not; he takes her hand and assures her that he is. Graham talks over the phone with Molly, and has a nightmare where he is murdering one of the families. Crawford goes to meet with Lecter, where they discuss Graham and the case. Lecter remembers the night of the last massacre, where he tells Abigail to go upstairs and wait for Bloom, Graham, and Crawford. He also reminds her that hunting with her father was the best time she ever had; now she'll hunt with him. Lecter receives a call from Dolarhyde where he tells him of his delight in being taken interest, and says that the important thing is what he is becoming: the great red dragon.
