Complete story — includes the ending

Will denies sending Brown when confronted by Jack, and points out that the Ripper kills in small groups so their meat doesn't spoil, meaning that during his next wave Hannibal will host a dinner party. Chilton records Gideon mentioning to Will that he was given Alana's address by Hannibal, but he denies saying this when Chilton calls Jack and later baits the hospital guards into beating him. City councilman Sheldon Isley is found dead and grafted into a tree, and Price determines that he was drowned in a local body of water. At Hannibal's next party, Jack takes some food to be tested, while Hannibal has sex with Alana and drugs her so he can abduct Gideon, display the man guarding him on fishhooks, and return to bed so he can use her as an alibi. He later feeds Gideon his own leg. While Hannibal's food has no human meat in it, Price and Zeller determine that the hooks had pieces of Isley, Katz, Davies, Gray, the Copycat victims, and Miriam Lass in them, proving Will's innocence. The rare tree bark used in the lures leads Jack to a farmhouse, where he finds Miriam imprisoned but alive.
