TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Garrett jacob hobbs Didn't kill cassie boyle. I know. Dad? It's for you. I believe the as yet unidentified caller Was our copycat killer. I wanna go home. You do this a lot? Go places and think about killing? Too often. Abigail! (screaming) I didn't kill that girl... This is not self-defence, abigail. You butchered him. You're the one who called the house. If I keep your secret... Then I'll keep yours. Will: Sometimes... at night I leave the lights on in my little house, and... walk across the flat fields and... when I look back from a distance, the house is like a boat on the sea. It's really the only time I feel safe. Hannibal: You stood in the breathing silence of Gareth Jacob Hobbs' home, the very spaces he moved through. Tell me Will... did they speak to you? Will: With noise and clarity. Hannibal: You could sense his madness, like a bloodhound... Will: I tried so hard to know Gareth Jacob Hobbs. To see him. Will: Gareth Jacob Hobbs, FBI! (gunshot) Will: Past the slides and viles, beyond the lines of the police report, between the pixels of all those printed faces of sad dead girls. [SCENE_BREAK] Mr. Hobbs: See. [SCENE_BREAK] Hannibal: How did you feel seeing Marissa Shore, impaled in his antler room? Will: Guilty. Hannibal: Because you couldn't save her. Will: Because I felt like I killed her... I got so close to him. Sometimes... I felt like we were doing the same things at different times of day... like I was eating... or showering or sleeping at the same time he was. Hannibal: Even after he was dead? Will: Even after he was dead. Hannibal: Like... you were becoming him. Will: I know who I am. I'm not Gareth Jacob Hobbs, Dr. Lecter.

SUMMARY:
Two families are found murdered, with both mothers killed last. The only link between the families is that they both have sons who have been on the missing persons list for approximately a year. Graham concludes these "lost boys" are killing their old families to bond more closely to their new family. Graham continues his sessions with Dr. Lecter and confides that even if he finds the boys, he will never be able to give them back what they gave away: their families. He also admits to having paternal feelings toward Abigail Hobbs, which make him uncomfortable. Lecter's own interest in Abigail leads him to check her out of the hospital, against Dr. Bloom's wishes, and take her into his care. He gives her some tea made from psilocybin mushrooms to help with her traumatic dreams. Bloom helps Graham realize that the boys are under the influence of a powerful but unnamed mother figure ( Molly Shannon ) and uses footage from a convenience store security camera to track them to North Carolina in time to stop another young boy from murdering his family.
