Complete story — includes the ending

As Jack suspects that Abigail may have been Hobbs's accomplice, he sends Will for a psych eval with Hannibal, who clears him as they discuss their guilt over Abigail. Bodies are found buried and used as food for mushrooms growing on them, and tabloid journalist Freddie Lounds notices Will using his method at the scene. She spies on a session with Hannibal and writes an article framing Will as dangerous, while he learns that the victims were all diabetic and put in a coma via swapped medication. He tracks down pharmacist Eldon Stammets in the process of abducting another victim, who flees when he sees Lounds's article and corners her, demanding information on Will. Lounds tells Jack afterwards that Stammets is going after Abigail, and Will stops him from abducting her. In a session, Will admits that he is seeing visions of Hobbs, and Hannibal wonders if he is truly haunted by the experience of killing rather than Hobbs himself.
