Complete story — includes the ending

Frederick Chilton, having been exonerated after his framing as the Chesapeake Ripper, meets with Mason Verger, who has put a heavy bounty on Hannibal. He is planning to eat Hannibal alive, and Alana, having also survived, introduces herself as his new therapist and offers to help catch Hannibal. Chilton visits Will when he wakes, who sees Abigail in place of him. Jack visits Will to confirm the narrative that they were both wounded trying to stop Hannibal, and Will confirms that he alerted Hannibal of his impending arrest because he wanted to run away with him. Chilton asks Jack to help him catch Hannibal, but he is more concerned with caring for the increasingly ill Bella Crawford, who dies, though it is left ambiguous if Jack euthanized her. He is horrified to see Hannibal's card offering condolences at her funeral. Will leaves for Italy by boat.
