Complete story — includes the ending
Hannibal's new client, Margot Verger, tells him that she wants to kill her abusive brother Mason, which Hannibal encourages. As Will resumes work with the FBI, a woman's corpse is found sewn inside a dead horse's uterus, and she is found to have a live bird sewn into her chest. Soil in her throat leads the BAU to a burial ground of more women, and mentally ill stable hand and suspect Peter Bernardone claims he planted the soil to lead them to the killer, his social worker Clark Ingram. Ingram denies the claim and frames Peter as violent, but an observing Will believes Peter is telling the truth. Ingram is let go and murders another horse to further frame Peter, so Peter sews him, alive, inside the corpse. Will and Hannibal arrive to find him finishing the job, only for Ingram to tear himself out. Will decides to kill Ingram, only for Hannibal to stop his gun's hammer when he pulls the trigger, fascinated by his unpredictability.
