- The FBI enlists the help of Dr. Fredrick Chilton in hope of drawing Francis Dolarhyde into an ambush; Will's empathy for Dolarhyde impacts his psyche.
- Graham has another session with Du Maurier where he states that he has been having visions of himself murdering his family in the manner of Dolarhyde. Du Maurier says that Lecter spent three years waiting for Graham to start a family so he could take them from him. Graham asks Du Maurier what Lecter is going to take from her; she says that she knows that someday Lecter will eat her; but he's in no position to do it now. Graham asks if Lecter is in love with him. Du Maurier states that he is and asks Graham if he feels the same way. Crawford speaks with Lecter. Dolarhyde kneels to the painting in his house, and begins to tear his own flesh. Graham, Bloom, and Crawford devise a plan to bring Dolarhyde out by using Chilton and Lounds. Chilton visits Lecter and berates him for refuting his work. The setup for Dolarhyde takes place, where Chilton and Graham spew insulting remarks about him, as well as taking a photograph together for an article that Lounds will publish. Graham and Crawford have a conversation outlining the plan to catch Dolarhyde when he goes after Graham, instead, Dolarhyde captures Chilton and takes him to his house. He glues him to a wooden wheelchair and verbally torments him. McClane comes by briefly, bringing soup, as she believed Dolarhyde to be ill. They have a quick conversation before she leaves. With her gone, Dolarhyde torments Chilton further, showing him slides of The Great Red Dragon Paintings as well as "transformed" victims before showing the photograph taken to lure him. Chilton states that he does not want to die, and Dolarhyde asks him if he will now tell the truth about him. He tapes Chilton refuting his accusations, and says that he will let him go, but that there is a better way for him to understand and remember what he is; Dolarhyde bites Chilton's lips off with his dentures and mails them to Hannibal. They are delivered to Lecter by Bloom, and Hannibal eats one of the lips. They talk with Crawford in the cell, where Crawford states that Chilton has disappeared. Graham, Bloom, and Crawford watch the footage of Chilton. Graham has another session with Du Maurier where they discuss the incident and aftermath; Chilton is shown as having been burned alive. Graham and Crawford visit Chilton in the hospital, who shows anger toward Graham, before revealing to them that he saw a blind black woman with Dolarhyde. Dolarhyde kidnaps McClane and drives her to his house where he reveals to her what he truly is.
