The killer has now kidnapped eight women, all similar in appearance and always on a Friday. His most recent victim is Elise Nichols. Graham has been teaching at the FBI academy and isn't too keen on going out into the field. He is particularly empathetic and has a tendency to get far too involved in these types of cases. Crawford arranges for a well-known psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter, to work with him and ease the stress. It seems Lecter has his own plans for Will.This was amazing. I want more... more. I like when the unexpected happens.
Everyone has thought about killing someone, one way or another, be it your own hand or the hand of God. Now think about killing Mrs.Marlow. Why did she deserve this? Tell me your design. Tell me who you are. Will Graham

[last lines]
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: It wasn't the act of killing Hobbs that got you down, was it? Did you really feel so bad because killing him felt so good?
Will Graham: I liked killing Hobbs.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Killing must feel good to God too... he does it all the time. And are we not created in his image?
Will Graham: That depends who you ask.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: God's terrific. He dropped a church roof on 34 of his worshippers last Wednesday night in Texas, while they sang a hymn.
Will Graham: And did God feel good about that?
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: He felt powerful.
8.2 - DirectorDavid SladeStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasDetermined to give Abigail closure, Will and Hannibal take Abigail back to the scene of her father's crimes.

8.0 - DirectorPeter MedakStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasA series of family murders takes place, and Will determines they were conducted by each of the families' missing children, who were abducted and brainwashed into killing their old families for their "new family." Against Alana's advice, Hannibal checks Abigail out of the hospital for some frightening psychiatric practices that ultimately align her loyalty with him.Psychological games over and over again. And all together is very interesting. Hannibal is really unique person. And his meals...
Table has been set. Family dinner. I wasn't invited. I take my seat at the head of the table. My seat. My place setting next to Mrs Turner. I am the guest of honor. Nobody has taken a bite of their dinner. If you don't eat your growing foods, you won't get any dessert. No one leaves the table. All afraid to move, even the little ones behave themselves. I brought my own family to this home invasion. Controlling the Turners with threats of violence threats that turn to action. The Turner family is executed simultaneously. With the exception of Mrs Turner who dies last. This is my design. I shoot Mrs Turner. Will Graham
8.0 - DirectorGuillermo NavarroStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasA murdered couple is found in a motel room, posed in praying positions with the flesh of their backs opened and strung to the ceiling to give them the appearance of wings. Using hairs collected from the motel pillow, the BAU team discover several medications used to treat brain tumors in the killer's bloodstream. Graham surmises that the killer is transforming his victims into guardian angels to watch over him because he is afraid of dying in his sleep.It makes me sick... but I want to watch another one.
This is not who you are. This is my gift to you. I allow you to become angels. And now, I lay me down to sleep. Will Graham
Bella Crawford: And there's no point in being mad at cancer for being cancer.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Sure there is.
Bella Crawford: Cancer isn't cruel. Tiny cell wanders off from my liver, gets lost, finds its way into my lung, where it's just trying to do its job and grow a liver.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: What it grows and where it's growing it will likely kill you.
Bella Crawford: Not likely. It will kill me, and no amount of blueberries or antioxidants can change that now.You will feel fine... up until the precise moment you don't. Dr. Hannibal Lecter
7.8 - DirectorMichael RymerStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasA nurse at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane is brutally murdered by a patient, Dr. Abel Gideon, in a manner reminiscent of the "Chesapeake Ripper", who hasn't committed a murder in two years, the same number of years Gideon has been incarcerated. While Graham tries to discover whether Gideon truly is the Ripper, Crawford receives a phone call, apparently from the real Ripper, who plays the recorded voice of Miriam Lass, a trainee Crawford had consulting on the Chesapeake Ripper case two years previously when she suddenly disappeared.And also a little clarity about everything what happens. Except that deer. Annoying. When will it finally have a meaning.
8.2 - DirectorJames FoleyStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasThe BAU is called in when a man is found in a hotel room bathtub with his kidney removed and Graham must determine whether this is the act of an organ harvester or if the Chesapeake Ripper has claimed his first victim in two years. Meanwhile, Crawford continues to be haunted by the discovery of Miriam Lass's arm. Dr. Bloom suspects that Crawford has become obsessed with catching the Ripper, and is putting Graham in danger by making him chase the Ripper.Please kill him... he is annoying... go for it. You know what I mean.
Will Graham: How long have you been seeing a psychiatrist?
Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Since I chose to be a psychiatrist.[last lines] Before we begin, you must all be warned - nothing here is vegetarian. Bon appétit. Dr. Hannibal Lecter
8.0 - DirectorTim HunterStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasLecter's patient Franklin Froideveaux worries that his friend Tobias may be a psychopath, but Franklin's growing obsession with Lecter is what concerns the latter more. Graham investigates the murder of a Baltimore musician who had his throat opened and a cello neck inserted through his mouth. Graham, with Lecter's guidance, interprets this as one killer serenading another. Graham's mental stability deteriorates further when he begins having auditory hallucinations of animals in pain and when his romantic feelings for Alana Bloom are rejected.Yeah he has a buddy... at least for a while.
8.2 - DirectorGuillermo NavarroStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasA totem pole of human bodies ranging from freshly killed to decades old are found on a beach and while Graham is investigating the crime scene, he suddenly finds himself in Lecter's office, three and a half hours away, with no recollection of how he got there. Lecter theorizes that Graham's mind is trying to escape from having to investigate such brutal murders.
I planned this moment, this monument, with precision. Collected all my raw materials in advance. I position the bodies carefully, according each its rightful place. Peace in the pieces disassembled. My latest victim I save for last. I want him to watch me work. I want him to know my design. This is my résumé. This is my body of work. This is my legacy. Will Graham
7.9 - DirectorJohn DahlStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasBeth LeBeau is found murdered, having drowned in her own blood as a result of her face being cut into a Glasgow smile. Graham's mental state continues to sharply decline; he loses hours at a time and when a vivid hallucination causes Graham to contaminate the crime scene, Lecter refers him to a neurologist, an old residency colleague, Dr. Sutcliffe.One word: epic! This one was scary. But interesting.
8.3 - DirectorGuillermo NavarroStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasDr. Abel Gideon escapes from custody and begins targeting the psychiatrists who attempted to treat him, displaying their bodies with a Colombian necktie. While Alana Bloom is put under protective custody, Gideon kidnaps Dr. Frederick Chilton and lures Freddie Lounds into a trap, forcing her to write an article about him.

8.4 - DirectorMichael RymerStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasFollowing an offhand comment by Graham, a comb left in the chamber of Georgia Madchen, who accidentally sparks a fire inside her hyperbaric chamber and is burned to death.

8.4 - DirectorDavid SladeStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasFollowing his strange trip to Minnesota, Graham is taken into custody by Crawford for the probable murder of Abigail Hobbs. They find her severed ear in his kitchen sink and her blood under his fingernails.

She has him draw a clock when he tells her that Dr. Lecter had him perform a similar test, and the results solidify her belief that there is a physical explanation for Graham's instability.EPIC!
Oh... he knows, he knows.
