Complete story — includes the ending

Waking from a dream where he hunts the stag and it turns into a wendigo with Hannibal's face, Will finds blood on his hands and vomits an ear into his sink. He is taken into custody when the remains are found to be Abigail's, and Alana runs the clock test on him, which he again fails. She compares it to the drawing he did for Hannibal, who has swapped it with that of a normal clock to convince Jack that Will is faking instability. The Copycat's victims' remains are found fashioned into Will's fishing lures, and he escapes custody and goes to Hannibal, who has a session with Will where he outlines how it is possible for him to have committed the murders and forgotten. They go to the Hobbs residence, where Will realizes Hannibal called Hobbs and is the actual Copycat, having been manipulating him since they met. Before he can kill Hannibal, Jack arrives and shoots him. Hannibal has dinner with Du Maurier, who implies knowledge of his manipulations of his patients, and later visits Will, incarcerated at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Copycat killings, including Abigail's murder.
