EPISODE

12. Tome-Wan

In a therapy session, Will imagines how he would kill Hannibal, honestly sharing his visions, and oddly bolstering their co-dependency. Later, in a session with Mason Verger, Hannibal discusses Margot's unfortunate "accident" and other veiled threats. Jack grows impatient with Will's progress on catching Hannibal, and brings in a surprise witness from the past to help. And when Hannibal's life is threatened, Will must decide whether to come to his aid, and give Hannibal the opportunity for revenge.

Complete story — includes the ending

Will fantasizes about feeding Hannibal to the pigs. He talks to Jack, revealing that his actions with Hannibal since his release from the hospital have all been a ploy to gain his trust, and Jack warns that his display of Tier's corpse makes it difficult to be labeled as a self-defense killing. Du Maurier is brought in, who recalls how her killing Neal Frank was akin to murder because of Hannibal's manipulations, and tells Will that he can be caught if he lets his genius get to his head. Mason has Hannibal abducted and asks Will to feed him to the pigs, who instead frees Hannibal and is knocked unconscious. Hannibal takes Mason to Will's house and doses him with powerful psychedelics before convincing him to cut off his own face and feed it to Will's dogs. Will arrives and gives Hannibal the option to choose Mason's fate, so he breaks his neck, leaving him paralyzed. Mason claims he fell into the pig pen and does not know Will when Jack questions him. Will and Hannibal agree that they will soon be caught, and Will suggests that Hannibal confess his true identity to Jack.
