Complete story — includes the ending

During his fight with Tier, Will sees him as both the stag and Hannibal in human and wendigo form. He and Hannibal combine Tier's remains with a saber-toothed cat display at the museum. Margot explains to Hannibal that her father disowned her after she came out as a lesbian, his will stating that only Mason or a male heir will inherit the fortune of the family meat packing business. Hannibal implies that she could take the fortune from Mason by getting pregnant, and she seduces Will. Hannibal visits Mason, who is training a drift of pigs to eat people alive, and encourages him to seek therapy. When Will denies to a suspicious Lounds that Hannibal is the Ripper, she talks to Alana, believing that Will may be helping Hannibal. She goes to Will's house and finds Tier's suit and remains in his barn. He confronts and kills her as she calls Jack, and her screams are recorded on a voicemail, leaving Jack suspicious after tracing it to near Will's home. Will brings Hannibal Lounds's meat, which they cook and eat together.
