Abigail Hobbs is a suspect? Keep the blade pointed up. Alana: You really think Abigail Hobbs helped her father kill those girls? Jack: I want Will Graham to talk to her. There was a ninth victim who also fit Abigail Hobbs's profile, but Garrett Jacob Hobbs didn't murder her. He killed eight girls. Abigail: Why do they call him the shrike? Now is not the time. Let's take her home. Will: They only do that if you're still alive and taken to the hospital before they finish the crime scene. A copycat. (Sound of heart beating)
Hannibal: One cannot be delusional if the belief in question is accepted as ordinary by others in that person's culture or subculture. Hannibal: It was one of many considerations. Abigail: At the cabin. Marissa: Everybody on the block was on the news. Marissa: No. [SCENE_BREAK]
Jack: You brought Abigail Hobbs back to Minnesota to find out if she was involved in her father's murders and another girl dies. Nicholas Boyle murdered this girl and his own sister. Jack: (sighs) Dr. Bloom says that Abigail has a penchant for, uh, manipulation. Go inside. Maybe a blur out of the corner of my eye and and then a big fat cut to black. Struck Dr. Lecter in the back of the head. Hannibal: Most would argue self-defense. That he killed you? Abigail: You're the one who called the house.

Graham suspects that Garrett Jacob Hobbs, dubbed the "Minnesota Shrike", killed eight girls, but not the one impaled on the deer's head; that, he maintains, was a victim of a copycat, who called Hobbs to warn him. Crawford harbors suspicions that Abigail was somehow complicit in her father's killing spree, despite objections from Dr. Bloom, Lecter and Graham. Lounds meets the brother of the impaled girl and reveals to him that Abigail Hobbs is out of the hospital. Lecter and Graham take Abigail to her home, where she and her neighbor Marissa are confronted by the brother of the impaled girl, Nicholas Boyle. The following day, Abigail is taken to the cabin where Marissa is found impaled on a deer's head. In her house, Abigail finds the hair of one of the murdered girls inside a pillow and inadvertently kills Boyle in a way that, according to Lecter, cannot be seen as self-defense. Lecter helps her cover-up the murder, after which Abigail realizes it was Lecter who made the call to her father. Lecter suggests that Abigail keep his secret in exchange for his hiding her murder.
