Jack Curry is an American man child who takes a job driving Nigerian celebrities to the G.I.A.M.A Awards to impress his boss Kate (Anita Chris). Along his journey he tries to become friends with actor Jim Iyke, who wants to be left alone.

Will Graham (Hugh Dancy), an FBI profiler, surveys and recreates a crime scene in which two suburban homeowners, Mr. and Mrs. Marlow, have been brutally murdered. Later, after Graham gives a lecture at the FBI Academy, he is approached by BSU Special Agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), who wants his help in investigating a serial killer who has recently abducted eight college girls. Graham and Crawford arrive at Duluth, Minnesota, to visit the parents of the most recent victim, Elise Nichols, for questioning. Inspecting her bedroom, they discover Elise's corpse in her bed. As the FBI investigates the scene, Graham tries to reenact the events when he is interrupted by Special Agent Beverly Katz (Hettienne Park), who reveals that they have found antler velvet in Elise's wounds. Taking their case back to the examination labs in Quantico, Virginia, Katz finds a curl of metal in Elise's clothes. Graham deduces that the victim was killed by being mounted on antlers. They also discover that the victim had her liver taken out but was then put back in the body, having liver cancer. The team discovers they are after a cannibal.

Graham begins to suffer nightmares with Elise, haunted by his "ability". Crawford consults Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) for help and she recommends him to visit Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a psychiatrist. Crawford takes Lecter to Quantico, where he meets Graham and agrees to help him. A new body appears in Hibbing, Minnesota, mounted on top of a deer's head in an open field with her lungs removed. The police have nicknamed the murderer the "Minnesota Shrike". Identifying this murder to be the work of a copycat killer, Graham deduces that the Minnesota Shrike has a daughter who is about to leave and the killer can't accept it. Meanwhile, Lecter is shown preparing the lungs and eats them at dinner. In conversation, with Lecter, Graham remarks that the copycat killing felt as though it were "gift-wrapped" as an inverse to the Shrike's killings to allow Graham to figure out how to profile them correctly.

Lecter and Graham meet and investigate a construction site which may be connected to the murder. They find that a man, Garret Jacob Hobbs (Vladimir Jon Cubrt) has resigned from his job and meets Graham's profile. While Graham is distracted, Lecter makes an anonymous call to Hobbs, warning him that "they know". Later, Graham and Lecter arrive at Hobbs' house in Bloomington, Minnesota, where they see Hobbs killing his wife and leaving her on the doorstep to die. Graham enters the house as Hobbs throws his wife out the door with her throat cut; after failing to save her, Graham sees Hobbs holding his daughter Abigail (Kacey Rohl) hostage with a knife before shooting him multiple times in the chest, but not before he cuts part of Abigail's throat. Before dying, Hobbs taunts Graham, saying, "See? See?" Abigail is taken to the hospital. The episode ends as Will sits on Abigail's hospital room along with Lecter, who is sleeping and holding her hand.

After the disappearance of geneticist Dr. Nora Phillips and the exposure of the Molecular Genetics company's illegal activities in human cloning, the FBI raids the facility to arrest its key people. One surviving specimen, Lily, is escorted by a ruthless mercenary gunman named Holt to be delivered to an unnamed customer who bought the specimen.

The Driver is hired to transport the package with Holt "babysitting" him, ordering the hired driver to evade the FBI forces. En route to delivering Lily, the Driver develops a strong dislike for Holt's violent and inhuman treatment of Lily as an object rather than a human being. The Driver kicks the mercenary out of the car by subduing him and holding him at gunpoint. Holt pursues the Driver and tries to stop the car with a sniper rifle via helicopter, but the Driver incapacitates Holt's comrades and leaves him in the middle of the road to be arrested by the FBI, after a long and intense chase.

Eventually, the Driver delivers Lily to the extraction point where she informs him that Dr. Phillips created her and three others, who are now gone. She is surprised to learn that the customer is Dr. Phillips, who takes maternal custody of her.

Consequently, Bob becomes one of the Hunted. The Hunted are a small group of humans, bitten but not turned, who use cold steel and fighting technique to fend off vampires. The vampires, however, have developed an immunity to everything over the years, and the only way they can be killed is with a sword. Luckily, Bob knows how to use a sword, mostly due to his starring role in a cheesy 80’s action flick called, “Vampslayer”.

Struggling to find herself in the sprawl of urban Bangladesh, Muslim theater actress Roya suffers from her husband's wish for children and traditional life. Not interested in motherhood, she decides to reconstruct a famous and politically minded play for modern times, reclaiming her identity, her freedom and her sexuality in the process.

The children, Grisha, Anya, Alyosha, and Sonya, as well as Andrey, the son of a cook, stay up late, taking advantage of the adults' being absent, and play lotto. Quite different things motivate them.

Grisha, a nine-year-old, is the most ardent of the contestants; greedy and highly anxious, he plays only for the money. His younger sister Anya is an equally avid and smart player, but the kopecks hold no interest for her, it is the excitement of the game that she is after. Sonya, aged six, is passionate too, but totally selfless: "whoever wins, she happily laughs and applauds." The youngest one, Alyosha is quite thankful for the very fact that the others do not order him away. Seemingly phlegmatic, he is indifferent to the game as such, but deep inside is quite a sport and gets thrilled with every bit of even the smallest scandal. Andrey, a detached and sickly boy, is indifferent to the financial side of the event. It is the game's "arithmetic and simple philosophy" that leave him entranced and perplexed.

The game, marred with all sorts of incidents, but full of excitement, attract even the oldest brother, Vasya, a teenage gymnasium student, even if a suspicious servant refuses to break his ruble into kopecks. Sonya agrees to lend him one, but then Grisha accidentally drops his coin. After an eventful and, in the long run, successful search, the children return to the table where they find Sonya fast asleep. Altogether, they carry her to their mother's bed... There and then they all fall victim to fatigue. In five minutes' time, all five are upon it, bundled up in a heap, sound asleep, their coins scattered around, "having lost their value, up until the next game."

The fictional town of Calypso, Colorado is the birthplace of the deceased folk-music legend, Johnson Vendetti. On the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking album during the 1970s, the town is holding a large festival, and Johnson's nephew, Francis Vendetti (Michael Johnston), is expected to play Johnson's folk songs at a concert. However, Francis struggles with living in the shadow of his uncle and follow folk music when he really wants to play rock music. The day before the concert, he meets an odd woman, Violetta (Caroline Kinley), who dares him to take risks, such as climbing a tree he had been scared of climbing before. She tells Francis to look for Lightman's before she heads off, despite Francis not knowing of any such place in Calypso.

That night, Francis is visited by an alien Zomm (Jason Schwartzman) who tells him he must meet Lightman. Recalling Violetta's words, he follows Zomm to find Lightman (Carl Weathers), a guitarist that says he needs Francis to play as his opening act. Francis follows Lightman and Zomm through an impossible space below Calypso and finds himself in the Cosmic Extraordinary as they head towards the Cosmic Lung, Lightman's ship. Once there, Lightman explains that to travel through the Cosmic Extraordinary, they need to put on a show for the Glamourgonn (Courtenay Taylor) to gain clearance for the next station, which will be the only way Francis will be able to get back to Calypso in time for the concert. Francis discovers Violetta works as the head of Lightman's laser show but has reservations for Lightman's plans for Francis.

For Francis to be able to perform as Lightman's opening act, he first must travel to meet Stargordon (Mark Strong), a talent agent. There, Stargordon helps Francis conceive of a new name and identity to help sell himself, though senses that the weight of Johnson's influence still haunts Francis' life. With this identity, Francis performs for the Heliotromm, who is impressed with his performance and offers to broadcast it across the galaxy, but Francis declines, still fearing drawing attention to himself. Lightman then sends Francis to the planet of Glimmerdimm to play at a highly exclusive nightclub, but after his performance, Francis finds the only way back is to locate the warp turtle, held in fashion-strict Glimmer City. An alien, Frida, helps Francis to create a new outfit purposely to cause a ruckus in Glimmer City and reach the turtle.

Back at the Cosmic Organ, Francis learns that Lightman is no longer captain of the ship but instead Francis has been promoted due to his performances. Feeling guilty, Francis offers Lightman to be his opening act but allows Lightman to select the stage. Lightman heads to the Hyperion Wailzone, where the Glamourgonn lives. Violetta tells Francis that Lightman was the only person to have performed and survived the Glamourgonn twenty years ago and may be trying to recapture his glory. Francis follows and eventually meets with the Glamourgonn's agent, the Tastemaker (Lena Headey), to arrange to see the Glamourgonn. She sees that Francis still has doubts about accepting this new identity and reveals that when Lightman had faced him, he had brought Johnson Vendetti along, who himself had disliked the folk music he wrote about. Because Francis is still in doubt, she denies both from seeing the Glamourgonn. Francis comes to an epiphany and comes to fully accept his new persona, and demonstrates this to the Tastemaker. She sees Francis has changed, and allows him to perform for the Glamourgonn. Francis's performance, aided by Violetta's laser show, impresses the Glamourgonn, and she grants passage for the Cosmic Lung as well as providing them with a separate vehicle.

Violetta returns Francis back to Calypso, well after the concert was to go on, and promises that she will come back to see him some day. Francis goes to perform at the planned after-party event, showcasing his rock styling and new persona and stunning the crowd.

''Eaten by Lions'' follows half-brothers Pete and Omar. When their parents are eaten by lions their grandmother takes them in; when she dies they embark on a journey to Blackpool in search of Omar's estranged father, meeting an array of colourful characters on their travels.

The main characters of the novel are Bredan and Ioulia. Bredan is an American professor at the MIT in the field of Information Technology, who was hired by the NSA, in the book the "''National Software Agency".'' Ioulia is a Russian software engineer who happened to be his student in the 80's.

The story starts with France selling to the USSR a meteorological Cray-1 system and the related software. At the occasion of an inspection for export control, NSA agents implement a secret software bomb. The system later breaks down on the exact day of an official visit of the Russian authorities, but mysteriously works again the day after without any repair. Ioulia and her assistant discover that some additional software instructions set the computer out of order when it processes some specific meteorological data related to the Saint-Thomas Island in the US Virgin Islands.

When Ioulia later inspects a second computing system imported from the West, she identifies that there are several abnormalities. Not on the American computer this time, but on the peripheral computers which are of Russian origin. She finds out that all the Russian computers happened to be physically tampered with the installation of an additional processing unit made of a Zilog Z80 microprocessor and two ROMs. When this unit detects the code word "VENIK" at a specific address of the computer's random access memory, it erases everything and blocks the computer.

Ioulia finally understand that the goal of the additional component is to allow the central government to shut down any activity (transports, power plants, industry, ...) that is controlled by the Russian computers in the remote regions, in order to serve as a mean to pressure the local government in case of political or military troubles.

Mikhail Gorbachev, who's not yet president, sends Ioulia to Geneva to publicly condemn the American software bomb at an international summit. Brendan, her ex-lover and professor is instructed to discourage her making these revelations. When both meet, Ioulia tells Brendan about her discovery and asks him to disclose the Russian undertaking to the press, so to force her government to withdraw their control system.

Rosewood P.D. officers confiscate the Liars' personal stuff and cellphones through search warrants. Enraged, Spencer heads to the station to understand what's going on, and discovers that Detective Tanner is now handling the Dunhill case. Tanner expresses her concern about the possibility of the Liars being involved in the case, and indirectly threatens Spencer, saying that she always found them guilty of something, just did not know of what exactly. After her phone was taken, Aria discovers another one hidden inside an air duct that 'A.D.' left to communicate with her. Aria claims to meet 'A.D.' since she is a reliable person, and the tormentor sets a date, as long as Aria wears her uniform. In a room of The Radley, given by Hanna's mother, the Liars and Caleb get together to discuss the Dunhill's murder when the board game begins a new round: "Choose or Lose". The Liars have to choose one of them to go to jail accused of the murder or all of them go. Mona arrives shortly thereafter and warns the girls that she thinks Aria is on the 'A.D.' team. The girls initially don't believe, but Mona exhibits evidence and a recording of Aria and 'A.D.', leaving them in panic. Detective Tanner finds pieces of a windshield in the drain of Spencer's bathroom with traces of blood.

At night, Aria goes to the meeting place which 'A.D.' has set on. However, the tormentor doesn't show up and Aria is caught by the Liars, who are devastated when Aria says that she needed to protect Ezra, so she joined 'A.D.' Aria explains that, six years earlier, after Ezra revealed to be writing a book about Alison, she filed a complaint against Ezra, but never reported it, and somehow 'A.D.' had access to it, threatening her right after. Tanner calls Alison asking for their presence at the station, and the girls leave Aria alone in the woods. At the police station, Tanner gives the girls a chance to tell their side of the story, but Spencer denies the opportunity. Again, the girls leave Aria alone, punishing her for destroying Alison and Emily's nursery and for tearing Spencer's family apart.

The next morning, Spencer goes to Ezra's apartment to talk to Aria, giving her a photo of them as teens, before Alison's disappearance. They try to reconcile, but Tanner and her convoy appear suddenly, returning Aria's things and saying they found footage of Aria outside of Rosewood on the day of Archer's death, sparing her of any charges. Spencer leaves the apartment angrily. Ashley is still worried about Hanna and that she might be in trouble. However, this fades when Caleb and Hanna get married at the courthouse with Ashley as a witness. Emily and Alison have sex during an improvised picnic prepared by Alison. Aria tells Ezra she has something to tell to him, but claims she needs to kiss him one last time, since this secret could ruin them. Spencer visits Toby in his cabin and they have sex. While investigating, Caleb and Ezra find the cell tower location from which the game phone has been sending signals, and later discover that they are being sent from Mona's house. While leaving to find Spencer, Aria hears a loud noise in the back of her car and opens the trunk to find Archer's body. A cop arrives right after.

Graham (Hugh Dancy) has a nightmare in which he is confronted by Garret Jacob Hobbs (Vladimir Jon Cubrt) at a shooting range. He is awakened by Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), revealing that they are in Chippewa National Forest to investigate Hobbs's cabin. There, they find dead animals and antlers mounted on the walls. Crawford says that Abigail (Kacey Rohl) is a suspect in the case, with the possibility that Hobbs used her to attract the girls. Graham discovers a lock of hair in the floor, confirming someone besides than Hobbs was there. Elsewhere, a red-haired woman (Lara Jean Chorostecki) is revealed to possess pictures of the cabin and uploads it to a blog named "Tattlecrime.com".

After lecturing in the FBI Academy, Graham is informed by Crawford and Alana (Caroline Dhavernas) that he will need to be assessed by Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) after the shooting. Despite Crawford's insistence, Lecter has Graham declared sane so he can return to work. Nine bodies are discovered in Elk Neck State Park; the bodies were buried alive while comatose and used to grow mushrooms. While Graham uses his ability to recreate the crime scene, the red-haired woman appears taking pictures of the scenes and asks a police officer to reveal information. During the use of the ability, Graham discovers one of the bodies is still alive.

Graham returns to therapy with Lecter, who states that Hobbs may not be a problem for him and claims that maybe the killer wants a "connection". Their meeting is recorded by the red-haired woman, who is Lecter's next appointment. Despite using a false identity, Lecter guesses that she is Freddie Lounds, a tabloid blogger. He then finds she recorded Graham's meeting with him and makes her delete the conversation. In the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) labs, autopsies reveal that the bodies had kidney failure along with diabetes thanks to a change in medicines, deducing the killer must be a pharmacist. Graham and Crawford lead an FBI raid in a supermarket to confront a pharmacist named Eldon Stammets (Aidan Devine). Stammets has escaped but left a woman in his car covered with dirt.

Checking into Stammets' web browser, the FBI discovers that he managed to escape due to reading leaked information on Tattlecrime.com. Crawford has his team raid Lounds' hotel room and confront her, ordering her to stop writing about Graham or face arrest for obstruction of justice. The next day, Lounds is being confronted by the officer from the Elk Neck crime scene when the latter is killed by Stammets, who demands to talk to Graham. The police arrive and Lounds reveals that Stammets wants someone who thinks just like him to understand him (Graham) and will lure him using Abigail. Eldon tries to take out Abigail from the hospital when he is shot by Graham, who replies that "he does not understand him". During his next session with Lecter, Graham states that he didn't see Hobbs' ghost this time and Lecter notes that it must be because he may feel that the killing felt good and that killing Hobbs felt "just". Lecter likens it to a feeling of being God, who kills people to feel "powerful".

Abigail (Kacey Rohl) awakens from her coma. Graham (Hugh Dancy) suspects that Garret Jacob Hobbs (Vladimir Cubrt), 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 (Laurence Fishburne) harbors suspicions that Abigail was somehow complicit in her father's killing spree, despite objections from Dr. Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas), Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Graham. Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) meets the brother of the impaled girl and reveals to him that Abigail 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 (Mark Rendall). 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.

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 (Hugh Dancy) concludes these "lost boys" are killing their old families to bond more closely to their new family. Graham continues his sessions with Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) 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 (Kacey Rohl), which make him uncomfortable. Lecter's own interest in Abigail leads him to check her out of the hospital, against Dr. Bloom's (Caroline Dhavernas) 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.

Two police officers find Graham (Hugh Dancy) sleepwalking in the middle of the road and drive him back home. The next day, he visits Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), who deems it a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder due to the gruesome cases he has been working on, with Lecter blaming Crawford (Laurence Fishburne).

In Trenton, New Jersey, Graham and Crawford arrive at a motel room for a new case. A murdered couple has been found, posed in praying positions with the flesh of their backs opened and strung to the ceiling to give them the appearance of wings. Graham uses his skill to try to understand the killer's intentions, while the BAU Team investigates the room, as the killer slept in front of the corpses and then threw up nearby. At the lab, the team discovers several medications often used together to treat cancer, specifically brain tumors. Graham surmises the killer is transforming his victims into guardian angels to watch over him because he is afraid of dying in his sleep. He confides Lecter that the pressure of looking into killers' minds is starting to break his psyche and Lecter attempts to use this to create a wedge between Graham and Crawford.

Crawford's wife, Bella (Gina Torres), attends a session with Lecter. She explains some of her insecurities, and is hinted that she is hiding something from Crawford but does not want to talk to Crawford as he is too busy to worry for her. At her house, Crawford tries to get her to talk, feeling that she has been distancing herself from him, but she does not reveal anything. The killer (Seann Gallagher), who constantly sees people's heads engulfed on fire, kills a man and hangs his body and his flesh once again displayed to look like wings. The BAU Team finds that the killer castrated himself, with Graham concluding that he may try to become an angel himself as angels have no genitalia. He then gets into an argument with Crawford, as Lecter's influence is starting to take over him.

Jimmy Price (Scott Thompson) informs Graham and Katz (Hettienne Park) that the murdered couple were wanted criminals. Graham deduces that the killer thinks he's doing God's work even if he doesn't fully know the person he will kill. At another session with Lecter, it is revealed that Bella has terminal lung cancer and, besides not wanting to having him worried, she wants to soften the pain when she dies. Lecter later tends to Graham, whose sleepwalking continues. During the session, Lecter smells Graham, but he notices this and is taken aback by the action.

The BAU identifies Elliot Budish as the killer and question his ex-wife Emma (Cynthia Preston), who confesses that she left him after he was diagnosed with cancer. She also reveals that Elliot suffocated as a child during a fire and was resuscitated by a firefighter, which sparked Elliot's obsession with guardian angels. She directs them to the farm of the incident but they find that Budish has already committed suicide and transformed himself into an angel. The failure to catch the killer heavily impacts Graham, who questions his skills, but Crawford reaffirms he is effective and says he can quit if he wants. The events of the investigation make Crawford realize the reason for his wife's distant behavior and promises to help her through her illness. The next day, Graham visits Crawford's office, stating that he will continue working with him.

At the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, an inmate named Dr. Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard) murders a nurse after he appeared to be unconscious. Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) visit the hospital, where the administrator, Dr. Frederick Chilton (Raúl Esparza), makes some comments on Graham's "ability" that unnerve him. When they find the nurse's body, they find her in a manner reminiscent of the Chesapeake Ripper, who hasn't committed a murder in two years, the same number of years Gideon has been incarcerated. Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) conducts an interview with Gideon, who does not give more details on his motivation and neither confirms or denies if he is the Ripper. Crawford visits Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) at his office, expressing his concerns about his wife's health. Crawford is also haunted by memories of losing Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky), a trainee Crawford had consulting on the Ripper case two years previously when she suddenly disappeared. That night, Crawford receives a phone call from Miriam herself, who asks for help before her line dies.

Crawford and his team investigate the call. Crawford deduces that the Ripper called him and used a voice recorder to torment him, as he believes that Miriam is dead despite not finding her body. In an attempt to lure the Ripper out, Crawford has Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) confirm on her tabloid that Gideon is the Ripper, as the real Ripper will reveal himself. Lecter reads the tabloid and is unnerved by its content. Crawford and Lounds talk with Gideon, who confesses to having killed Miriam. Crawford then receives the same recorded voice message on his phone, which comes from his house. During a dinner with Alana and Lecter, Chilton tells them he had suspected Gideon of being the Ripper; Lecter surmises that Chilton unintentionally planted the thought in Gideon's mind during a session, implying that, while Gideon is not the Ripper, he believes himself to be. Later, Crawford receives another phone call, which they trace to an old observatory. There, they find Miriam's cell phone clutched in the hand of a severed arm along with a note reading, "What do you see?".

Crawford talks with Lecter, who says the Ripper uses Miriam to taunt him, which in turn is negatively impacting Crawford's fears for his wife's safety. In a flashback, is revealed that Miriam visited Lecter to ask about Jeremy Olmstead, whom he had come into contact with when working as an ER attendant and was the latest Ripper victim. While Lecter excuses himself, Miriam finds one of his sketches of the Wound Man, which precisely matches the manner in which Olmstead was murdered. Lecter sneaks up on her from behind and chokes her unconscious, revealing himself as the real Chesapeake Ripper.

Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) attends an opera performance becomes so moved that he is the first to stand up to applaud. After the performance, he meets with an old friend, Mrs. Komeda (Ellen Greene). One of Lecter's patients, Franklyn Froideveaux (Dan Fogler) interrupts them to present his friend Tobias Budge (Demore Barnes).

Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) are called to a motel room to investigate a dead man in a bathtub who had his kidney removed. Using his "ability", Graham deduces that the killer didn't kill him on purpose; he was actually trying to save him after the dead man suffered a heart attack. Due to the mishandling of the situation, he refuses to see the Chesapeake Ripper as the suspect. Meanwhile, Franklyn attends a session with Lecter, explaining that the encounter at the opera was not incidental, as he wants to be friends with him. Lecter makes it clear he is only his therapist and does not want to be his friend. Lecter then visits his own therapist, Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), attempting to imitate Franklyn's petition to make her his friend, but Bedelia declines that petition.

A few months previously, Lecter becomes upset when he is treated rudely by a doctor during a medical checkup. In the present, the doctor's car breaks down when suddenly Lecter shows up, with the doctor struggling to remember him. BAU finds the doctor's corpse inside a bus, with his kidneys and heart removed. Graham deduces this is the work of the Ripper. Lecter takes another four victims and removes their hearts, kidneys, livers, stomachs, pancreases, lungs, and even a spleen from them. Graham is still affected by the encounter with Hobbs, even imagining himself meeting with Abigal (Kacey Rohl) and making him miss one of Lecter's appointments.

Katz (Hettienne Park) discovers security footage and the BAU finds that the organ harvester is a part-time paramedic, Devon Silvestri (Pierre Simpson), who aspires to be a doctor. They track his ambulance to save the life of one of his victims. Lecter, who accompanies the team, saves the victim while Silvestri is arrested. Lecter reveals to Graham that he worked as a surgeon but retired following a patient's death and settled on therapy as he felt more comfortable. Graham shares his opinion that there is only one Chesapeake Ripper, who was responsible for all of the murders except the first. Using the organs he harvested, Lecter makes a dinner for some of his colleagues.

At a beach in Grafton, West Virginia, BAU has found a totem pole of human bodies ranging from freshly killed to decades old. As Graham (Hugh Dancy) uses his "ability", he suddenly finds himself on Lecter's (Mads Mikkelsen) office, three and a half hours away, with no recollection of how he got there. Lecter theorizes that Graham's mind is trying to escape from having to investigate such brutal murders.

Abigail (Kacey Rohl) has been tormented by nightmares where her father's victims blame her. She also learns from Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) that the victims' families are filing a wrongful death claim against hers and will receive compensation, leaving Abigail without money. Lounds convinces Abigail to publish a book about her story and about her father. Graham and Lecter talk to Abigail, expressing concern about how the book could involve them, but Abigail remains firm on her decision to publish her story. Graham's mind is affecting his perception of reality, as he delivers class notes to an empty lecture hall at the FBI Academy. Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) visits him and states she regrets leaving his house after their kiss. Nevertheless, she says that even though she has feelings for him, she can't be in a romantic relationship with him as she considers him "unstable".

Authorities have discovered the corpse of Nicholas Boyle (Mark Rendall), who Abigail murdered and Lecter disposed of. Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) wants Abigail to identify him, as he strongly suspects her of being involved. Abigail identifies Boyle's body but denies involvement in his death. After she leaves, Crawford still suspects her while Bloom admonishes him for his treatment of Abigail; she fully believes she is innocent as Lecter wouldn't lie about it. Lecter later talks with Abigail, who is revealed to be the one who dug up Boyle's corpse. She defends her actions as she isn't worried about authorities finding it eventually, although Lecter is still upset.

The freshest totem pole victim is identified as Joel Summers, who was the son of Fletcher Marshall, the oldest body on the pole, before he was adopted. The killings are traced to Lawrence Wells (Lance Henriksen), who was having an affair with Marshall's wife and killed him in a crime of passion. The rest of the killings were for his own satisfaction; knowing he'd be caught, he could "retire" to a life in prison, which would be better than any retirement home he could afford. However, Graham reveals that Summers was not Marshall's biological son; he was Wells', who unknowingly murdered his own son.

Using his "ability", Graham deduces that Abigail killed Boyle. He shares this with Lecter, who confesses to helping her hide the body, although he claims that Abigail killed him in self-defense as Crawford would arrest her. Graham reluctantly agrees to keep her secret so that she won't inherit her father's brutal legacy. They then have dinner with Abigail and Lounds, who explains her intentions with the book. In the kitchen, Lecter states that Graham knows and won't talk, which should relieve her. However, Abigail reveals to Lecter that she was aware of her father's crimes and helped him get victims by befriending them. Lecter hugs her, having deduced it earlier, telling that he and Graham will protect her. The episode ends with a flashback, where Hobbs (Vladimir Cubrt) instructs Abigail to befriend Elise Nichols while they travel on a train.

Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) holds a session with Franklyn Froideveaux (Dan Fogler), who worries that his friend, Tobias Budge (Demore Barnes), may be a psychopath. However, Lecter is more concerned by Franklyn's growing obsession with his therapist. He notes that while Franklyn may not be a psychopath, he seems fascinated by the idea of it. He shares his concerns to Bedelia (Gillian Anderson), considering referring Franklyn to another psychiatrist.

BAU is called for a new victim at a concert hall. The victim was a musician named Douglas Wilson, who had his throat opened and a cello neck inserted through his mouth. While using his "ability", Graham (Hugh Dancy) sees that the killer played the instrument inside the victim's corpse while he notes a figure in the empty seats, Garret Jacob Hobbs (Vladimir Cubrt). He confines his discoveries to Lecter, who deduces that the killer may have been serenading another killer. In another session, Franklyn tells Lecter that Tobias told him about planning to kill someone in the same method that Wilson was murdered and wonders why would he tell him, before realizing that Tobias did so he could tell Lecter. Lecter decides to pay a visit to Tobias' shop in Baltimore, claiming to need a catgut.

Graham's mental stability deteriorates further when he begins having auditory hallucinations of animals in pain, even slamming and creating a hole above his chimmey when he thinks he hears a raccoon. He has a conversation with Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) and they both kiss. At first she responds well to Graham kissing her, but then says it would be a bad idea for them to become involved. Lecter dines with Tobias, who confesses to killing Wilson and reveals his intentions to kill both Franklyn and Lecter. He also reveals his knowledge of Lecter as a killer, having seen him dispose a body. Tobias offers a partnership between both of them, but Lecter is not interested. Graham interrupts the dinner to talk with Lecter about his encounter with Bloom. Lecter uses the opportunity to inform Graham about a possible lead, directing him to Tobias' shop.

Graham and two police officers visit Tobias, but his hallucinations make him leave the shop. When he returns, he finds an officer dead and discovers Tobias' hideout in his basement, where he finds organs and the corpse of the other officer. Tobias surprises him and tries to garrote him, but Graham shoots him in the ear, prompting him to escape. Tobias arrives at Lecter's office, just as he was telling Franklyn he would refer him to another psychiatrist. As Franklyn attempts to calm Tobias and offer his help, Lecter suddenly snaps Franklyn's neck, killing him. Lecter and Tobias then engage in a brutal fight in his office, with both getting stabbed multiple times. Lecter breaks Tobias' arm and then smashes his head with a statue, killing him. As Graham and Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) question him, Lecter states that Tobias came to his office to kill Franklyn and then him to avoid witnesses. In another session with Bedelia, Lecter expresses his intention to open his office for more patients, after stating previously that he might have found a friend on Graham. He assumes responsibility for Franklyn's death, although Bedelia says he can't put his death on himself.

In Greenwood, Delaware, after fixing a hole in her roof, Beth LeBeau (Hilary Jardine) is attacked by a home intruder and drowns in her own blood as a result of her face being cut into a Glasgow smile. During a session, Graham (Hugh Dancy) tells Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) that he feels he is losing perception of reality. Lecter assigns him to draw a numbered clock; Graham views it as a normal clock but Lecter notes that Graham drew the numbers out of order on one side of the clock. Graham's mental state continues to sharply decline; he loses hours at a time and a vivid hallucination causes him to contaminate the crime scene at LeBeau's house. Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) questions his sanity, but Graham states he is fine.

Lecter refers him to a neurologist acquainted with Lecter, Dr. Sutcliffe (John Benjamin Hickey). An MRI reveals that Graham is suffering anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, but Lecter pressures Sutcliffe into telling Graham that he found no neurological problems so that Lecter can continue to analyze him. Graham returns to LeBeau's house, where he is attacked by her killer (Ellen Muth), who manages to escape. Graham suddenly finds himself in the woods, having lost the perception of fantasy and reality. He calls Katz (Hettienne Park) to help him see if the killer was real. Both confirm he was indeed attacked by the killer, whose skin of her arm fell off.

While at a session, Lecter deduces the killer must have Cotard's syndrome, a delusional disorder that has her convinced she is actually dead and takes away her ability to identify people's faces. The killer stalks Graham's house that night, watching him outside his window. The next day, BAU identifies the killer as Georgia Madchen, who suffers many mental illnesses and has a violent background. She mutilated LeBeau's face because she was deluded into thinking LeBeau was an untrustworthy stranger. During another MRI scan, Graham finds the hospital empty and finds Sutcliffe murdered at his office. Graham reaches out to Georgia and manages to convince her that she is alive and not alone. Georgia is brought in for medical treatment. The episode ends with a flashback, which reveals that Lecter killed Sutcliffe and then handed over the scissors to Georgia, who just walked into his office. Georgia is unable to see Lecter, viewing him as a faceless person.

Over dinner, Chilton (Raúl Esparza) shares his concerns to Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) that Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard) is accusing him of movitating Gideon to kill, which could damage Chilton's career. The next day, during a prison transfer, Gideon manages to escape custody. Elsewhere, the BAU team find corpses and organs hanging from trees. Graham (Hugh Dancy) notes that the Chesapeake Ripper wouldn't display his victims like this and concludes that he is trying to get the Ripper's attention. As Gideon is heading back to Baltimore, Graham and Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) question Chilton, who may be in danger. Chilton states Gideon wants to prove that he is the Ripper. At a session with Lecter, Graham feels he is going insane as he imagines rooms are now filled with antlers. His undiagnosed encephalitis drives his temperature up, causing severe hallucinations.

The BAU conclude that Gideon is targeting the psychiatrists who attempted to treat him; Graham fears that Bloom might be next. Meanwhile, Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) is contacted by a doctor for a possible collaboration in an article. When she arrives at his office, she finds Gideon, who has killed the doctor and displayed his tongue like a Colombian necktie. The BAU finds that Gideon drained his blood because the doctor wrote an article which negatively depicted Gideon. They also find that TattleCrime.com posted an article that has revealed the return of the Ripper. Gideon has taken Lounds as a hostage and brought her to the old observatory, where he hopes the articles will motivate the Ripper to reveal himself. He has also kidnapped Chilton and removes his organs during a surgery, intending to leave it as a "gift basket" for the Ripper.

Another psychiatrist is found similarly mutilated, with his right arm amputated. Graham speculates that this is actually a message from the real Ripper telling them where to find Gideon. They head to the observatory, as that is where Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) found Miriam Lass's severed arm. Crawford and a SWAT team enter, finding Chilton holding his organs while Lounds pumps air on his mouth, but Gideon has escaped. As the raid unfolds, Graham's hallucination of the stag returns and he follows it, fortuitously intercepting Gideon, although Graham views Gideon as Garret Jacob Hobbs.

In his delusional state, Graham takes Gideon to Lecter, who convinces Graham that he has hallucinated the encounter. When Graham has a seizure, Lecter uses the opportunity to set Gideon on Bloom. Lecter manipulates Graham into pursuing him, leaving a gun and keys so Graham can arrive at her house. Graham catches up with Gideon outside, where he expresses concern over his real identity. Graham shoots Gideon and collapses. Crawford tells Lecter that Chilton will be hospitalized while Graham will be fine, although Lecter recommends removing his gun for his safety. At a session with Bedelia (Gillian Anderson), Lecter is told he must restrain himself from getting too involved with Graham if he really wants to help him as a psychiatrist.

Graham (Hugh Dancy) visits Georgia (Ellen Muth), whose condition seems to be improving, inside a hyperbaric chamber. Georgia warns him that the doctors will give him wrong diagnosis and will struggle to understand him. Following an offhand comment by Graham, Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) leaves a comb in Georgia's chamber, who accidentally sparks a fire inside the chamber and is burned to death. Meanwhile, Abigail (Kacey Rohl) starts working with Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) on her book, omitting certain details which would implicate her in Nicholas Boyle's death. As the BAU investigates Georgia's demise, Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) considers it suicide but Graham disagrees. Graham checks himself out of the hospital and shares his theory that Georgia was killed by a copycat of Garret Jacob Hobbs. Worried about Graham, Crawford questions Lecter about his state of mind, but Lecter's answers make him question if he is hiding something from him.

Crawford visits Bedelia (Gillian Anderson) to ask about Lecter and if he has ever said something about Graham. Bedelia does not give much information, except for a time where Lecter referred one of his patients to her, which culminated in an attack. Graham asks Abigail for help in catching the copycat, which requires going to Hobbs' former cabin in Minnesota. He states his plans to Lecter, also theorizing that Sutcliffe's killer planned to frame Graham before Georgia walked in. Crawford learns from Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) that Hobbs was with Abigail on the same train with some of his victims and wrongfully thinks that she killed Sutcliffe and Georgia. When Crawford arrives to question her, he finds that Graham already left with her.

Crawford confronts Lecter about Graham's treatment, although Lecter defends his stance as he wanted to properly diagnose Graham. He shares recordings where Graham felt he killed Georgia and suggests that he was the last person who saw Georgia and Sutcliffe before their deaths. He indicates that Graham may delusionally view himself as Hobbs and, as Hobbs was going to kill Abigail before his death, he may do the same. Arriving at the lodge, Graham realizes that Hobbs used her as bait to get his victims, just as his condition worsens and his behavior becomes more erratic. Graham suddenly finds himself in a plane back home, with no sign of Abigail. Abigail has returned to her old house, where Lecter awaits her. She is comforted by Lecter and is told that Crawford knows she was involved with her father's crimes. Lecter admits to having killed more people than her father. When Abigail asks him if he is going to kill her, he simply tells her that he is sorry he couldn't protect her.

The episode opens ''in medias res'' as Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) prepares a meal at his house before Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) suddenly arrives. They exchange a tense look before they begin brutally fight Crawford brandishing his gun and Lecter throwing a knife which appears to end when Crawford chokes Lecter until he loses unconscious. However, Lecter is faking and stabs Crawford in the neck with a shard of glass. Bleeding profusely, Crawford manages to lock himself in the pantry while Lecter, knife at hand, attempts to enter.

Twelve weeks earlier, Lecter prepares kaiseki for Crawford. Their conversation reveals that both men are under investigation for misconduct in relation to Will Graham's (Hugh Dancy) apparent murder spree. Crawford attends a hearing with Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) where an investigator for the Inspector General's Office, Kade Prurnell (Cynthia Nixon), questions them. The misconduct claim was issued by Bloom, who chastises Crawford for letting Graham continue to work despite his mental deterioration. Prurnell suggests Bloom to recant her complaint, but she refuses. Meanwhile, Graham is questioned in his cell by Dr. Frederick Chilton (Raúl Esparza), who is determined to find everything wrong with him. He is also constantly visited by Lecter, who is curious about his progress.

In Rockville, Maryland, two city workers discover six corpses on a river. Lecter helps the BAU in the case, stepping filling Graham's role of deducing the killer's motivations and methods. Graham, meanwhile, has started therapy with Bloom, who wants to help him remember through the use of hypnosis. The experience is very frustrating for Graham, who sees Abigail's ear served as dinner. Elsewhere, a young man named Roland Umber (Ryan Field) is approached by an unseen person in a subway train. At his house, he notices plastic wrap on his car and while he inspects, he is kidnapped and taken to an unknown location, where the kidnapper sprays him with water.

Lecter theorizes that the killer is preserving the bodies to create a human model collection and that those in the river are imperfect castoffs. At the hospital, Graham has a flashback of Lecter forcing Abigail's ear down his throat with the use of a plastic tube. He once again pleads Crawford for help, but he is not convinced of his claims as they haven't found a single piece of evidence against Lecter. That night, Umber wakes up inside a grain silo. He finds that he is stitched to a collection of dead bodies in the silo and screams in horror.

At the grain silo, Roland Umber (Ryan Field) removes himself from the attached bodies but loses part of his skin in the progress. He exits the silo just as the killer arrives in a truck. Umber runs through a cornfield while the killer chases him with a rifle. He suddenly finds himself cornered as he reaches the edge of a cliff towards a river. Seeing no other choice, he jumps off the cliff. However, he hits a rock before he hits the water, dying from the impact.

Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) visits Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) at his office and tells him she will no longer serve as his psychiatrist, deeming him dangerous and finding herself unable to change him. BAU recovers Umber's corpse, but the team thinks the killer discarded the body. During the investigation, Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) chastises Katz (Hettienne Park) for trying to consult Graham (Hugh Dancy) on cases without permission. Meanwhile, Lecter resumes therapy with Graham, who has asked him for help. Graham has seen pictures of the bodies and due to the stitches, deduces the killer is working on a "human mural" by stitching corpses.

Despite being warned by Crawford to stop meeting him, Katz asks Graham for more information. He deduces that Umber escaped and died during his getaway. To return the favor, Katz promises to help Graham prove his innocence. Lecter manages to find the grain silo containing the corpses, imagining hearing to classical music while he stares at them from the top of the silo. Just then, the killer enters the silo and Lecter greets him. Later, Lecter accompanies the BAU in investigating the silo, with the team unaware that Lecter has already been there. Lecter steals one of the corpses' legs for dinner. At a session with his therapist (Martin Donovan), Crawford states he does not feel guilty about his treatment of Graham, but of the consequences he claims affected others.

Lecter and Katz once again show photos to Graham, hoping he could help more with the case as there is a body out of place (the one whose leg Lecter stole). Graham imagines himself being sewn by Lecter and deduces the man is the killer, killed by someone else who took his leg. Flashbacks reveal that Lecter was the person who killed him and stitched him in the silo. Graham is later visited by Prurnell (Cynthia Nixon), who a chance to avoid death penalty by pleading guilty, but Graham refuses to cooperate. Bedelia then visits Graham, and despite being warned by the guards to keep her distance, closely approaches Graham to say, "I believe you" before she is removed. That night, Lecter arrives at Bedelia's house, planning to kill her. However, he finds the furniture covered, with no sign of Bedelia.

As Graham's (Hugh Dancy) murder trial begins, Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) is pressured by Prurnell (Cynthia Nixon) to save his own career by testifying against him. On the stand, Crawford states he pushed Graham into participating at the crime scenes in order to get effective results, which upsets Prurnell. Graham receives an envelope with a severed human ear. The BAU determines that the ear was removed from a corpse in the past 48 hours and some suspect that Graham did it despite being incarcerated. When Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) takes the stand, she testifies that Abigail Hobbs told her that Graham was planning on killing and eating her. Graham's lawyer, Leonard Brauer (Shawn Doyle) attempts to discredit Lounds' testimony by highlighting multiple libel lawsuits.

The BAU discovers that the knife that cut the ear belongs to Graham, and was same knife used on Abigail's ear. Interestingly, the knife was removed from the evidence room by Andrew Sykes, the bailiff. The FBI conducts a raid on Sykes' house on Milford Mill, Maryland, but the house is booby-trapped and explodes as the agents open the door. After containing the fire, Crawford finds a corpse mounted on a stag's head, his face cut into a Glasgow smile, his ear missing and evidence suggesting that he was burned before the explosion. As the trial continues, Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) visits Graham to ask for help in the case. Using his "ability", Graham deduces that the killer used different tactics that don't match with the other victims. While Lecter agrees on his theory, he convinces him to lie on the stand in order to save himself.

On the stand, Lecter testifies in favor of Graham and manages to convince the prosecutors to remove Sykes' murder. The next day, a janitor finds Judge Davies (Barry Flatman) dead in the courtroom, hanging from chains while holding a scale with his heart and brain. Crawford tells Lecter that with his death, a mistrial is probably happening. Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) meets with Graham, who believes the killer will try to contact him again.

After dreaming of Abigail (Kacey Rohl), Graham (Hugh Dancy) is visited by Katz (Hettienne Park), who informs him about their progress in the "human mural" case. Graham is still certain that Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) was involved, even when Katz remains dubious. Graham accepts to submit to therapy with Chilton (Raúl Esparza), asking him not to tell Lecter. He undergoes a simulation where he attempts to fully understand past moments with Lecter. He realizes that Lecter was helping in developing his encephalitis and shares this with Chilton. Chilton asks Lecter about Graham's claims, viewing him as a psychiatrist who motivated a patient to commit murder, and prevents him from meeting Graham. Meanwhile, Lecter attends to Bella (Gina Torres), whose cancer continues developing. She considers suicide and Lecter even encourages her to do it, considering that death is not a defeat.

During this, the BAU discovers a corpse in a meadow which has been converted into a beehive, with evidence pointing to the victim having been lobotomized. Somewhere else, an acupuncturist (Amanda Plummer) paralyzes a patient and starts performing a surgery on his eyes. The patient is later found in a park, with his eyes missing but still alive. Katz finds a connection between the victims due to the use of stitches. Graham experiences more memories, this time witnessing the events of the night he took Abel Gideon to Lecter's house. He sees Lecter talk with Gideon (Eddie Izzard), where Gideon deduced that he was the Chesapeake Ripper and Graham concluded that Lecter is a cannibal. Graham shares this information with Katz, warning her to stay away from Lecter, but she is still hesitant in his claims.

The BAU questions the acupuncturist, Katherine Pimms, as the victims were all patients of hers. She admits to performing the surgeries on suffering patients and letting them have peaceful deaths in the meadows. She allows herself to be taken into custody. Bella once again visits Lecter, where she states she followed his advice and has consumed an immense amount of morphine, intending to die at Lecter's office to avoid complications at home. She asks him to tell Crawford that she loves him and says farewell to Lecter as the effects of the morphine start taking place and falls unconscious. Lecter flips a coin that she gave him and then injects her Naloxone, saving her life.

Bella wakes up in the hospital with Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and Lecter. Lecter leaves the coin and apologizes to Bella for not "honoring" what she asked him. She slaps him and tells him to leave, which he does without hesitating. Katz, having found out that the mural killer was stitched with the same material from which the Ripper removed kidneys, sneaks into Lecter's house at night for evidence without telling anyone. She finds kidney packages in his freezer and enters his basement. There, she turns on the lights and is shocked by what she sees. However, Katz sees Lecter staring behind her and she shoots at him while he turns off the lights and runs. The episode ends with a shot at Lecter's house as gunshots are heard, with the sound of a body hitting the floor.

At his house, Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) prepares breakfast for Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), who has stayed up all night at the hospital following his wife's suicide attempt. Meanwhile, following an anonymous tip, Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) visits the old observatory and is shocked by something dropping blood, contacting authorities. Crawford arrives at the scene and finds Katz (Hettienne Park) dead, sectioned vertically and displayed in tableau. Crawford breaks down and informs the rest of the BAU as well as Graham (Hugh Dancy), who wants to see the crime scene. Graham is transported there while strapped to an upright wheelchair and donning a bite-guard mask by the medical staff. Using his "ability", Graham deduces that the killer was caught by Katz and he strangled her, then proceeded to freeze her in order to conserve her in a clean state before slicing her with a bandsaw. He shares his theory with Crawford, saying that she investigated both the Chesapeake Ripper and his copycat.

After an autopsy, Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) inform Crawford that Katz's kidneys were removed and replaced with that of the mural killer. It is shown that Lecter used Katz's kidneys for a meal. Wanting to know more about the Ripper, Graham convinces Chilton (Raúl Esparza) to transfer Gideon (Eddie Izzard) for interrogation. Gideon is not cooperative with Graham, refusing to reveal anything about the Ripper. When he says he will have to kill the Ripper if he really wants him, Graham is intrigued by the idea.

Lounds visits Graham, who offers a deal to let her publish a story on him in exchange for writing on her tabloid in hopes of luring the man who killed the judge. That night, the killer reveals himself to be a nurse guarding Graham, Matthew Brown (Jonathan Tucker). Brown confesses to killing the bailiff but claims he wasn't responsible for the judge's death. He is fascinated by Graham and wants his admiration, so Graham asks him to kill Lecter. Brown leaves in order to do it, unaware that Gideon was overhearing their conversation. Later, Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) visits Graham to question him about the interview with Lounds and realizes he did something, but Graham refuses to reveal it. She then conducts a session with Gideon, who offers her a chance to save Graham from himself by revealing his intended plans with Lecter.

Bloom and Crawford attempt to warn Lecter, who is conducting swimming laps on a private club pool. There, Brown shoots him with a tranquilizer gun. Brown then has Lecter standing on a balancing bucket, slits his wrists and strings him up with a noose while he is bleeding. He then asks him certain questions and no matter if Lecter answers or not, Brown will know due a psychological response (if his pupils dilate, it means yes and if it doesn't, it means no). He finds that Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper and gloats over how he will be viewed for killing him. Just then, Crawford arrives at the scene, having tracked Lecter's phone. Lecter lies that he has a gun, prompting Crawford to shoot Brown. However, Brown kicks Lecter's bucket out from under him with his dying breath. Crawford saves Lecter while Bloom calls an ambulance. At the hospital, Graham has a fantasy where blood starts appearing on his sink.

Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) visits Graham (Hugh Dancy), confronting him about sending Matthew Brown to kill Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Graham denies trying to have Lecter killed, but affirms that Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper and that as he is a cannibal, attacking in lots of three and four in order to maintain a good pace with the food. Crawford remains unconvinced, so Graham warns him that after the Ripper strikes again, Lecter will host a dinner party.

A corpse is found at a parking lot, attached to a tree with his organs replaced with poisonous flowers. Crawford approaches Lecter for help, but Lecter declines his offer following his assassination attempt. Nevertheless, he invites Crawford for a dinner party, which he accepts to attend. In his cell, Graham confronts Gideon (Eddie Izzard) for messing with his plans. During the conversation, Gideon states that Lecter instructed him to kill Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) when he escaped from custody. Chilton (Raúl Esparza) has the meeting recorded and shows it to Crawford. While Chilton has suspicions, Crawford is more reserved about the statements.

Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) identify the corpse as local city councilor Sheldon Isley, who brokered a development deal for the parking lot and is responsible for damages to the pre-existing habitat. All signs point to a 50-mile radius for the scene of Isley's death. Lecter visits Graham at the hospital, expressing his disappointment at his progress and actions, wanting to distance himself from Graham. Chilton questions Gideon about the recording, who denies meeting Lecter before his visit and embarrasses Chilton in front of Crawford. As he is escorted back to his cell, Gideon insults the nurse he previously killed and is brutally beaten by the guards.

At Lecter's dinner party, Crawford and Chilton engage in conversation about Lecter. Crawford excuses himself from the party with samples of the food, which he has Price and Zeller test in the BAU lab. After the party, Lecter and Bloom discuss distancing themselves from Graham; they kiss and sleep together. While she sleeps, Lecter leaves, revealing that he drugged her wine so she wouldn't wake up for a few hours. He sneaks into Gideon's room at the infirmary and kidnaps him, killing a guard and propping his body with fishing lures. Having remembered Graham's lead, Crawford visits Lecter in the morning to question him about his whereabouts, suggesting that Lecter is a prime suspect in Gideon's disappearance. Bloom shows up and defends Lecter by stating she was with him all night, unaware that Lecter had used her as an alibi.

That night, Lecter serves lotus leaf to Gideon, which is revealed to be Gideon's amputated leg. Seeing he is eating his last meal, Gideon does so willingly. Back at the lab, Crawford is informed that the food from the party doesn't contain human issue. However, Price and Zeller find that the fishing lures contain DNA from many victims, including Miriam Lass. They finally realize that Graham is not the Ripper, as there was no copycat killer at all. The lures also contained a rare tree bark, which directs Crawford to an abandoned farmhouse in Somerville, Virginia. He breaks a locked door to get into a basement and checks cisterns for possible clues. He opens one and is shocked to discover Lass (Anna Chlumsky), who is still alive with her left arm missing.

Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky) is taken by an ambulance and is tended for all her injuries. Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) questions her about her captivity, but she is struggling to remember her captor, only viewing him as a shadow. She also states that she wasn't spared by the kidnapper, but was "saved for last".

Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) meets with Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) at an interrogation room, with Crawford and Miriam watching him from a two-way mirror. Surprisingly, Miriam is certain that Lecter was not her captor. Meanwhile, due to the Chesapeake Ripper's new discoveries, all charges are dropped against Graham (Hugh Dancy) and is released from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. He tells Dr. Chilton (Raúl Esparza) to recognize his unethical methods that he enforced on Gideon as Lecter enforced similar methods and may be involved on Gideon's disappearance.

Graham meets with Crawford, who takes him to the old farmhouse. He deduces that the Ripper didn't plan to kill Miriam, but have her rescued so he could blame someone else for the crimes. He returns home, where Bloom was guarding his dogs. While she apologizes for doubting him, she still reprimands him for trying to get Lecter killed. Seeing that she is in a relationship with Lecter, he warns her to stay away from Lecter. He then visits Miriam, and realizes that the same stimulation of flashing lights was employed to her while on captivity, sensing that Lecter is involved. That night, he confronts Lecter at his house at gunpoint, feeling that killing him will feel right for him. Lecter allows himself to be aimed but ultimately, Graham leaves.

Crawford takes Miriam with Lecter, hoping that a hypnotic regression therapy will help her remember. Miriam is only able to view the Wound Man as the last thing she remembered. At the lab, Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) inform Crawford that they found Lecter's fingerprints on flowers around the farmhouse. Crawford dismisses it, as Graham pointed that the Ripper will try to frame anyone in the crime scene. However, they also discovered that Miriam's blood contained certain medicaments employed by Chilton during his treatment of Gideon. Crawford demands that Lecter and Chilton are brought in for testimony.

Chilton arrives at his house but is confused by a medical equipment sound from his basement. He opens a room and is horrified to discover Gideon's mutilated corpse on a bed. He stumbles on his way out, and finds Lecter wearing a plastic suit just as FBI agents are knocking at his door. Lecter drugs Chilton, who passes out and then kills the FBI agents. When Chilton wakes up, he finds the agents dead, with one of them mounted as the Wound Man. Desperate, Chilton asks Graham for help while BAU finds evidence incriminating Chilton. Chilton intends to flee the country but Graham has already contacted Crawford.

Chilton tries to escape through the woods but Crawford catches him and takes him into custody. At the interrogation room, he is questioned by Bloom while maintaining his innocence. Through the two-way mirror, Miriam's memory starts viewing the shadowed figure as Chilton, identifying him as the Chesapeake Ripper as she breaks down. Crawford consoles her but Miriam suddenly grabs his gun and fires at Chilton, hitting him in the face. At his office, Lecter is visited by Graham, who wants to resume therapy. They then sit, facing each other from their seats as they are about to start.

Graham catches a fish and brings it to Lecter so they can have dinner with Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne). Meanwhile, a farmer asks a veterinarian to inspect a dead horse at a stall. When the veterinarian opens the horse's uterus, they are shocked to discover a dead woman inside.

Mason Verger sexually assaults his sister Margot, collecting her tears and stirring them into his martini. She attends therapy with Lecter, explaining how Mason has been abusing her for years, and that she is planning on attacking him. Lecter states that he would have to report her if she plans to harm him, but also encourages her to defend herself. At BAU, Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) perform an autopsy and are shocked when the corpse appears to have a heartbeat. When they open her chest cavity, a live bird flies out of her body.

Graham inspects the stable, deducing that the killer inserted her in the uterus in order to be "reborn". They question employee Peter Bernardone (Jeremy Davies), who denies any involvement. His behavior prompts Graham to consider him a suspect, but not the killer. The FBI conducts inspection on mass burial ground after finding soil in the victim's throat, finding up to 15 bodies and an empty grave belonging to the woman found in the horse. Graham privately questions Peter again, who confesses that he had the soil inserted to lead to social worker Clark Ingram (Chris Diamantopoulos), who is probably involved in the murders. Clark is brought to interrogation, where Graham is suspicious of him and even considers he could manipulate Peter. Due to lack of evidence, Clark is released.

At the stable, Peter discovers a horse that injured him earlier, dead. Clark appears, having killed the horse with a hammer, intending to frame him. A few moments later, Graham and Lecter arrive at the stable, finding that Peter has sewn Clark into the horse. However, Clark is not actually dead, as Peter wants him to suffer like his victims. As Peter and Graham talk, Clark emerges from the horse, intending to kill Peter with the hammer, until Graham appears holding him at gunpoint. Graham intends to kill him for his treatment of Peter, but is persuaded by Lecter not to do it. As the episode ends, Lecter notes how his unpredictability got the best of him, which he finds impressive.

Graham (Hugh Dancy) has a dream where he has Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) tied to a tree and uses a stag to kill him. Outside a gas station, a truck driver returns to his vehicle, until he notices someone jumped on the top of the truck. As he inspects, he is grabbed and killed by an unseen assailant.

Graham continues therapy with Lecter, with both challenging each other. As he leaves, he runs into Margot Verger (Katharine Isabelle), and both seem curious about the treatment that Lecter gave them. BAU inspects the crime scene, and Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) believes an animal committed the crime, having been trained by someone. Graham asks Peter Bernardone (Jeremy Davies), who is now incarcerated in a psychiatric ward. He deduces that animals committed the murders, but that the animals may have been manipulated into cooperating. That night, a man uses a mechanical beast suit and murders a couple.

At the crime scene, Graham deduces that it was a man, not animal, who committed the murders. Based on the evidence, Lecter tells Crawford that the profile fits a former patient of his, Randall Tier (Mark O'Brien), who now works at a museum. Before BAU reaches him, Lecter visits him, admiring how much he has grown and warns him that the FBI will look for him. When Crawford and Graham question him, Tier evades their suspicions based on Lecter's conversation. They are forced to leave as they lack any substancial evidence.

Margot meets with Graham at his house, and both realize how they had desires to kill a certain person (Margot wanted to kill her brother and Graham wanted to kill Lecter). He shares some of these concerns to Lecter at their next therapy. He also reveals that Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) visited at the hospital to say "I believe you", which seems to upset Lecter. Lecter then meets with Tier, instructing him to kill Graham at his house. Tier injures one of Graham's dogs, causing him to leave to rescue his dog. He returns to his house and locks himself in. He turns off the lights just as Tier jumps through a window. At his house, Lecter finds Graham waiting for him at his dining table, with Tier's corpse. Graham notes that as he sent someone to kill Lecter and Lecter did the same for him, they are now "even".

As Graham locks his house, Randall Tier (Mark O'Brien) breaks through his window. He drops his shotgun and fights with him, viewing him as the stag man and then as Lecter. He eventually overpowers him, killing him. He takes his body to Lecter's house, saying they are even now.

BAU investigates a murder found at the museum, where Tier's body has been mutilated and its part were displayed over a saber-tooth exhibition. Lecter and Graham analyze possible methods and motives, not revealing their role in his death. Graham meets Freddie Lounds, who still believes in his statement that Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper, even when Graham is now saying that Dr. Frederick Chilton (Raúl Esparza) was the Chesapeake Ripper. During therapy, Lecter tells Margot that she hasn't killed her brother Mason because she still loves him despite his abuse. She explains that her father disinherited her after she came out as a lesbian, and willed all his money to Mason and any future heir he might have; if Mason dies childless, she gets nothing. Lecter suggests that she could get revenge at Mason by getting pregnant.

Margot visits Mason at his estate. Mason takes her to the barn and shows her that he is working with specially bred pigs on a maze, hoping that the animals will eat people. He then tells her that he wants to have a "Verger baby", the implication being that he wants to father his own sister's child. Disgusted, Margot visits Graham and, after revealing the scars her brother inflicted upon her, has sex with him. The scene is intercut with a scene where Lecter and Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) have sex at Lecter's house, while Graham views Bloom instead of Margot.

Lounds approaches Bloom on the campus, noting that there is a pattern between Lecter's patients dying and even suggests that he and Graham are killing. Lecter decides to visit Mason at his barn, who is concerned about anything her sister could reveal about him. Lecter tells him not to worry about anything and even offers to take Mason as a patient. Mason accepts and gives one of the pigs to Lecter, who serves it that night while dining with Bloom and Graham. When Bloom reveals the theory that Lounds told her, Lecter puts on his plastic suit and waits at her apartment to kill her. However, Lounds is visiting Graham's house while he is not there. She sneaks into his barn, discovering Tier's mechanical beast suit. She also finds a freezer and is horrified to discover Tier's jawbone just as Graham appears.

Graham attempts to explain but Lounds shoots at him, prompting a fight. She escapes the barn and dials Crawford while she starts her car. However, Graham breaks the window and takes her. Crawford notifies Graham about the message, which only contain her unintelligible scream and whose signal was traced back to Graham's area. Graham excuses it as Lounds was going to interview him and never arrived. Crawford and Bloom are suspicious of the claim but cannot prove anything. That night, Graham visits Lecter to bring him a meat to learn how to cook it, suggested to be from Lounds. They eat it, with Lecter noting that it is not pork, to which Graham only says is "long pig". The episode ends with a debate between Lecter and Graham about good and evil, with Lecter refusing to describe himself as evil, and asking Graham if their meal was an act of God.

Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Graham (Hugh Dancy) dine at Lecter' house, discussing the new path that Graham entered after his encounter with Freddie Lounds. Meanwhile, a parking garage security guard at the offices of TattleCrime sees a burning body in a wheelchair roll into the garage, eventually landing at Lounds' parking space.

Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) find that the dental marks of the body is that of Lounds. During a therapy session, Margot (Katharine Isabelle) informs Lecter and Graham that she is pregnant with Graham's child, and while this could help her keep her family fortune, she wants to keep the news from Mason (Michael Pitt). At his estate, Mason makes a child cry and then puts his tear to drink on his martini. Worried about Graham, Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) is worried about his relationship with Lecter, deeming it "destructive". When she asks if he killed Lounds, he just gives her his weapon and tells her to practice with the weapon. They later attend Lounds' funeral, where his comments give the impression that he killed her.

Mason starts therapy with Lecter, discussing his relationship with Margot and his father's fortune, deeming himself as the only heir. But Lecter makes a comment suggesting that Margot could make an heir through pregnancy. At his estate, Mason talks to Margot about wanting an heir through her, terrifying her. Lecter and Graham discuss his incoming role as a father, with Lecter talking about playing a father figure role to his deceased sister Mischa and how he found a similarity of his sister on Abigail. That night, Lounds' body is exhumed and distorted like Shiva. Lounds concludes that the killer may have been a copycat of Lounds' killer. Lecter and Bloom talk about Graham's progress and Lecter learns through smell that Bloom has been practicing with a weapon.

That night, Margot packs her things, planning to leave the Mason Estate. As she is driving, her car is crashed by Verger's henchman, Carlo. She wakes up in an operating table, where Mason tells her his intentions of performing a surgery to make her infertile as the doctors start their process. Bloom confronts Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), as he has been keeping secrets from her. Crawford then leads her to a room, where she finds Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) alive. Graham visits Margot at the hospital, and then visits Mason at his farm to attack him. He proceeds to hang him over his pigs, but changes his mind. Realizing that Lecter has been manipulating them, Graham suggests that Mason should feed Lecter to his pigs.

During therapy, Graham (Hugh Dancy) questions Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) about his treatment and view of Mason Verger (Michael Pitt). He also considers the idea that Lecter may want to kill Mason and then eat him, something that Lecter does not deny and even Graham encourages. He then conducts an exercise where Graham imagines what would happen if they fought, with Graham imagining feeding Lecter to Mason's pigs.

During his session with Mason, Lecter is disgusted by Mason's personality and discourtesy. Mason imposes his menacing nature by hovering a knife at Lecter's throat and then harshly criticizing his artwork, proudly saying that he likes to "play chicken" with Margot (Katharine Isabelle). He decides to inform this to Graham and Margot, who feels humilliated and defeated after Mason got her the surgery. Lecter suggests that, even though she thinks Mason won, she could win by surviving his brother and not killing him. Graham meets with Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), who wants more evidence to take down Lecter. Crawford then shows Graham a possible link that could help them: at the interrogation room, is Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson).

Graham offers Bedelia an immunity deal for any evidence against Lecter. She confesses that she was previously attacked by a patient and then she killed her. Even though it was deemed self-defense, she considers it a murder and Lecter influenced her to kill her patient. She warns Graham that Lecter will motivate him to kill someone for him through persuasion. He shares a degree of acknowledgment during therapy with Lecter while Bedelia warns Crawford that Lecter will be one step ahead of them. Graham is visited by Mason, who asks him to accompany him to the farm. Meanwhile, Verger's henchmen kidnap Lecter, although Lecter manages to kill one of them before passing out.

At Mason's farm, Lecter is put on a straitjacket and hanging over the pigs, just like Graham's fantasy. Graham is given a knife and ordered to stab Lecter so he can start feeding the pigs. Instead, he cuts Lecter's straitjacket and is knocked unconscious by Carlo. When he wakes up, he finds trails of blood, Lecter and Mason gone, and Carlo's corpse after being devoured by the pigs. Mason is taken to Lecter's house, where he forces him to consume several psychedelic drugs, causing him to laugh hysterically and lose grip of reality. Lecter hands him a knife and asks Mason to demonstrate how his father used to slaughter pigs.

Graham returns to his house, finding some of his dogs outside. He enters and discovers Mason laughing as he removes the skin of his face and feeds them to his dogs. Lecter appears, wondering what should be done with him as he orders Mason to cut his own nose and eat it too. Graham leaves the solution to Lecter, who decides by snapping Mason's neck. Later, Crawford visits an alive Mason to his estate, who is now paralyzed and bed-ridden. Mason does not reveal Lecter's involvement, instead saying that he fell in the pig pen. After he leaves, Margot states she will care for Mason just as he cared for her. Lecter and Graham have a conversation regarding their lies and how eventually, their activities will be revealed and both will go to prison. Graham suggests that Lecter must confess to Crawford. Lecter, who has gone on to consider Crawford a friend, decides it may be for the best.

Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) writes a letter to Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), inviting him for dinner. Crawford notifies Graham (Hugh Dancy) about this, stating his plans when meeting with Lecter. He sees both Crawford and Lecter asking if they can count on him, and he says yes to both.

Lecter visits Bella (Gina Torres), whose cancer has worsened and is dying. She forgives Lecter for saving her, although she asks him to save Crawford after she dies. Graham meets with Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki), asking her to respect Abigail Hobbs' memory and not publish anything regarding her, allowing her to write about him and Lecter as he is not sure if he will survive this time. He then visits Lecter at his office to help destroy records of patients, planning to flee. During this, Lecter recognizes a smell from Graham's clothes, belonging to Lounds. Graham then has a final meal with Lecter, after previously talking with Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas), who now knows that Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper.

Prurnell (Cynthia Nixon) confronts Crawford about his intentions, as well as covering for Graham during Randall Tier's mutilation. She cancels the operation and forces him to take a work absence, handing over his badge and gun. She informs Bloom that they will freeze his passport and get a search warrant. Bloom protests as Lecter had no incriminating evidence, but she shows him pictures of Tier's display, affirming that Crawford and Graham will be taken into custody for their actions. Bloom informs Graham about his incoming warrant just as FBI agents begin to appear at Graham's house. Graham escapes through his back door and in order to earn his trust, calls Lecter to warn him that "they know".

Crawford visits Lecter's house and they start a brutal fight. Lecter stabs Crawford in the neck, who locks himself in his pantry. As Jack bleeds out, he calls Bella.

Lecter attempts to break down the pantry door as Bloom arrives at Lecter’s home. She calls for the police and enters to find Hannibal, holding him at gunpoint.

As she blames herself for falling for him, Lecter tells her to leave or he will kill her. Bloom pulls the trigger but Lecter already emptied the gun. She runs from him and hides in a room on the second floor, allowing her to reload her gun. A shadowed figure appears at the room and to her shock, discovers that is Abigail (Kacey Rohl), alive. Abigail says "I'm so sorry" and pushes Bloom out of the front window.

Graham arrives at the scene and finds Bloom, seriously wounded, laying on the in the heavy rain. Bloom indicates that Jack is inside and Graham enters Hannibal’s home, gun drawn, where he is shocked to find Abigail still alive.

Crying, Abigail explains to Graham that she only did what Lecter asked her to do. Lecter appears behind Graham. Graham asks Lecter why he didn’t leave when he called to warn him.

Lecter explains, "we couldn't leave without you" and then stabs Graham with a linoleum knife. He reprimands Graham, saying he offered him the gift of knowing him, which Graham has rejected. Lecter asks Graham if he would see him dead. Graham replies, “not dead …” Lecter finishes Graham’s thought by saying, “you would take my freedom. Lecter accuses Graham of wanting to change him. Graham, bleeding out, replies that he already has. Lecter forgives Graham for his betrayal, even if he does not forgive Lecter.

Lecter calls Abigail over to him and slits her throat in front of Graham. Abagail appears to Graham as the Ravenstag, which seems to die.

Lecter leaves Crawford, Graham and Abigail to bleed out. He walks outside, into the rain, passing Bloom, who remains on the ground where she has fallen, still conscious. The police approach the scene.

In a post-credits scene, Lecter is shown on a plane, headed to an unknown destination. Accompanying him right next to him, is Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson).

Flashbacks

On the night that he ate his leg, Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard) converses with Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), viewing him as a form of Devil. They then discuss the idea behind cannibalism, with Lecter remarking "is only cannibalism if we're equals." Later, he shows how he severed his arm in order to enhance the flavor and Gideon notes that just like him, Lecter will also be eaten eventually.

After being interviewed by the FBI, Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) finds Lecter taking a shower at her house. Lecter explains his failure with Will Graham and how it appears that he struggled.

In another flashback, Bedelia wakes up from a session to discover she killed Neal Frank (Zachary Quinto), a violent patient referred from Lecter. Lecter arrives and notes the level of aggression committed at the scene. He offers to help Bedelia with the scene and how to tell the story.

Present day

In Paris, a man in a motorcycle travels throughout the city until he stops at a party. The man is revealed to be Lecter, who is interested in a man, Dr. Roman Fell (Jeremy Crutchley). Another person at the party, Antony Dimmond (Tom Wisdom) salutes Lecter, and both exchange a conversation regarding Fell with Dimmond mocking Fell as he previously was his teaching assistant. Fell leaves the party and Lecter follows him to his house, with Fell recognizing him from the party. He kills him, and when Fell's wife returns home, he kills her and eats both of them.

Lecter and Bedelia are now in Florence, posing as Fell and his wife. During a party, they are approached by Professor Sogliato (Rinaldo Rocco), who mocks Lecter's knowledge of Dante Alighieri, prompting Lecter to recite Dante's first sonnet, ''La Vita Nuova''. At their apartment, Bedelia wonders if he would kill and eat Sogliato but Lecter wants to protect his cover. The next day, Lecter walks through the Palazzo Capponi and is surprised to find Dimmond there. Even though it may risk his identity, he invites Dimmond to dine with him and Bedelia. During dinner, Dimmond notes that Bedelia's meal consists of the exact ingredients that Lecter fed to Gideon to "enhance the flavor". Lecter invites Dimmond to a lecture that "Fell" will make at the Studiolo of Francesco I, surprising Bedelia.

Dimmond attends the lecture, seeing Lecter as "Fell" giving his presentation, with Bedelia in attendance. Lecter even addresses Dimmond among the crowd, prompting a shaken Bedelia to leave. After the lecture, Sogliato is impressed and Dimmond does not disclose Lecter's facade. After Sogliato leaves, he confronts Lecter about Fell's whereabouts. He invites Dimmond to his apartment to explain, just as Bedelia appeared to plan to escape. She then sees Lecter murder Dimmond and questions if she is either observing or participating. She says she was curious, prompting both to conclude she was participating by not interferring and deducing what would happen.

Lecter boards a train to an unknown destination, remembering Gideon's conversation about being caught. Lecter then makes an origami heart out of the Vitruvian Man reproduction. The episode ends with the revelation that Lecter made a human origami with Dimmond's torso to make it appear as a heart, displaying it at a chapel.

After the events at Lecter's house, Graham (Hugh Dancy) wakes up in the hospital, having survived the stabbing. He then receives a visitor: Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl), who managed to survive her wounds. She says that Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) carefully knew where to cut them in order to survive, as their wounds were "surgical".

Abigail reprimands Graham for conspiring against Lecter, stating that she still believes in Lecter despite having stabbed her. Graham remembers a conversation he had with Lecter where he described his "memory palace" to him, which Graham deduces to be the Norman Chapel at Palermo. Eight months later, Graham and Abigail visit the Chapel, where they analyze Lecter's view of himself as a God. The local police is investigating the Chapel after finding Dimmond's torso in the form of a human heart. Graham is approached by Chief Investigator Rinaldo Pazzi (Fortunato Cerlino), who has traveled since Florence. Pazzi is aware of Lecter and Graham, having investigated both of them before his arrival.

Lecter is deemed as "Il Mostro" or "The Monster of Florence" and Pazzi is linking him to a murder committed twenty years ago, where a couple was murdered and the corpses displayed like Sandro Botticelli's painting, ''Primavera'', and for which another man was convicted. Pazzi hands a photograph of Dimmond's mutilation to Graham. As he is using his "ability", he is haunted when the mutilated corpse starts shaping like the stag before coming back to reality. He then talks with Abigail and he finally remembers that Abigail died before he was taken by the ambulance. She disappears while Lecter is shown to be watching Graham from a distance in the Chapel.

Pazzi meets with Graham, who deduces that Lecter hasn't left the city and is actually at the Chapel at that moment. They descend into the Chapel's catacombs, in pursuit of Lecter but they fail to find him. Pazzi and Graham then have an argument about their purposes and Pazzi leaves. Graham continues investigating the catacombs. Knowing that Lecter is nearby, he just says "I forgive you".

At his residence in Florence, Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) has a conversation with Bedelia (Gillian Anderson), who feels concerned about his actions and worries that he might get caught, although Lecter deduces she is actually worried about herself.

In Aukštaitija, Lithuania, Graham (Hugh Dancy) sneaks into Lecter's old and seemingly abandoned estate. He imagines himself having a therapy session with Lecter on the grounds of the estate. Then, he finds a woman (Tao Okamoto) hunting with a shotgun at the estate. At night, Graham ventures into a basement where he discovers a man (Julian Richings) caged in a cell and is discovered by the woman. The woman states that the man in the cage killed and ate Lecter's younger sister Mischa and has been the subject of psychological and mental torture for years. The woman is named Chiyoh and attended Lecter's aunt. She didn't let Lecter kill his sister's murderer and she has guarded over him for years.

Lecter and Bedelia invite Sogliato (Rinaldo Rocco) for dinner, where Lecter suddenly kills him by stabbing him with an ice pick in the head. As Sogliato laughs, Bedelia removes the ice pick, causing him to drop dead, with Lecter noting that she technically killed him. They later question Lecter's intentions and thoughts about Graham and the influence on himself. Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) is revealed to be alive and arriving at Florence, meeting with Pazzi (Fortunato Cerlino). They find similarities on Dimmond's mutilation compared to other murders committed by Lecter.

Not believing that the man killed Mischa, Graham releases the man from the cage. The man then attacks Chiyoh, forcing her to kill him. She realizes that Graham knew this would happen, as he wanted to prove that she is just part of Lecter's manipulation. With the man dead, she decides to leave the estate, joining Graham on his quest to find Lecter. Graham then displays the man's corpse in the chamber to make it look like a dragonfly. Bedelia later questions Lecter about his past, deducing that while he didn't kill Mischa, he ate her to "forgive her" for influencing him to "betray" himself. Lecter notes that in order to forgive Graham, he must eat him.

After being shot in the face, Dr. Frederick Chilton (Raúl Esparza) is revealed to still be alive. He visits a bed-ridden Mason Verger (Joe Anderson), who wants to see his wounds before revealing his. Chilton then shows that he is forced to use contact lenses after losing his left eye, he also lost the upper teeth on the left side of his face and is also using makeup and prosthetics to hide his disfigured face. After Mason shows his disfigured face, he tells Chilton that he is putting a $1 million bounty worldwide for any information on Lecter's (Mads Mikkelsen) whereabouts.

Chilton visits Graham (Hugh Dancy) at the hospital, and is initially mistaken as Abigail by Graham. He wants him to pursue Lecter but Graham feels dubious. When he recovers and returns home, Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) visits Graham to question about the night on Lecter's house. Graham says he warned Lecter before Crawford arrived, not only because he considered it a friend, but because he planned to run away with him. Chilton visits Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) at the hospital, who is bed-ridden and recovering from her fall.

Bloom leaves the hospital and goes to Lecter's house, finding Graham already there. Bloom wants to question him about Lecter but Graham asks her to leave, and Graham is shown to be imagining Abigail (Kacey Rohl) next to him. Bloom starts her new job: she will work as Mason's therapist. She meets Margot (Katharine Isabelle), who warns her about her brother's behavior and personality. Crawford is approached by Chilton about pursuing Lecter, but Crawford is busy caring for his wife Bella (Gina Torres), whose cancer has worsened and is dying. At her funeral, Crawford finds a letter from Lecter offering his condolences, upsetting him.

After the funeral, Crawford opens up to Graham, feeling he does not have to die even when he knows what will happen. At Mason's estate, he is tended by his physician, Dr. Cordell Doemling (Glenn Fleshler). He asks Cordell to prepare the pig pen, as he plans to have Lecter eaten alive by his pigs. Bloom tells Mason that he is aware of his intentions, but she actually helps him in how to find Lecter. She later meets with Crawford, with both planning to pursue Lecter. She mentions that Graham is already left and the episode ends with Graham travelling on boat, starting the events of his journey through Italy.

Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Chiyoh (Tao Okamoto) travel to Florence. While on the train, Chiyoh explains her experience working as an attendant to Lady Murasaki and how she felt disturbed by Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). In Florence, Lecter and Bedelia (Gillian Anderson) discuss Lecter's idea of eating Graham whenever he finds him.

Also in Florence, Crawford releases Bella's ashes in a river and then throws his wedding ring. He then has dinner with Pazzi (Fortunato Cerlino) and his wife Allegra (Mía Maestro). Pazzi shares with Crawford that he is working on his own with Lecter, not revealing information to his colleagues until he concludes it is Lecter behind everything. While tending to Mason (Joe Anderson), Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) reveals that she discovered information about Lecter having his errands bought by a "blonde woman".

Pazzi visits Lecter at the Palazzo Capponi. He questions "Fell" about the murders of his predecessors but Lecter claims not to know anything. Pazzi leaves and calls a lawyer, wanting to report Lecter's whereabouts and a possible bounty from Mason Verger. The lawyer states there are some criminal jurisdictions that may make it difficult for him, so he refers Pazzi to an attorney in Geneva. Lecter reveals to Bedelia that he is aware of Pazzi's intentions but that he will take care of him. Back in the train, Graham asks Chiyoh how she could find Lecter, and she states she knows he is Florence. Suddenly, Chiyoh throws him off the train. Graham survives but he must continue on foot.

Pazzi video chats with Mason, who accepts to give him $3 million if he brings Lecter alive, but he needs to get Lecter's fingerprints. Pazzi agrees, with Mason aware that Lecter could kill him. Pazzi visits once again Lecter, offering him a scold's bridle belonging to his ancestor Francesco de' Pazzi. Lecter then shows him a heirloom depicting de' Pazzi's murder, noting how history alternates over whether he died with "bowels in" or "bowels out". Pazzi tries to get his fingerprint with a knife but Lecter anticipates this and knocks him unconscious.

When he wakes up, Pazzi finds himself tied to a hand truck as he makes a final arrangements. Lecter states that as Pazzi didn't contact the police, he must have gone to Mason Verger for the bounty. Suddenly, Bloom calls Pazzi's phone to warn him about Lecter, but Lecter himself answers and brushes her off. He then cuts Pazzi's belly and throws him from the window, hanging him from the neck and spilling his bowels in the ground, in a similar manner to Francesco de' Pazzi. He then notices Crawford staring at him in the ground, who furiously enters the Palazzo Capponi. Lecter anticipates Crawford, taunting him for Bella's death. Crawford surprises him and brutally attacks him. When Lecter asks him how he will feel when Lecter dies, Crawford replies "alive" and hurls him from the window. However, Lecter survives the fall by hanging to Pazzi's corpse. After touching the ground, he walks away, wounded.

While Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) flees through the streets of Florence, paramedics take Pazzi's (Fortunato Cerlino) corpse. Graham (Hugh Dancy) finally arrives at Florence, meeting with Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) to discuss Pazzi's actions. Graham confesses that a part of him wants Lecter to escape.

Lecter meets with Bedelia (Gillian Anderson), who decided that for their best, she would stay behind. She also deduces that Lecter would eat her someday and they both kiss. Chiyoh (Tao Okamoto) finds her, wanting to know Lecter's location but she refuses to reveal it. Bedelia then uses heroin in order to maintain her new identity as Mrs. Fell and avoid incriminating Lecter when she is questioned. Back in America, Mason (Joe Anderson) is notified about Pazzi's death and laments having lost money on a "dirty" Inspector. Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) suggests new apartments since Lecter killed Pazzi.

Graham and Crawford arrive at Fell's house, where they question Bedelia, not believing her claim that she is Mrs. Fell as they already know her. Graham later meets Lecter at an art gallery, discussing their events and how Chiyoh threw Graham off a train. They leave the gallery together, unaware that Chiyoh is on a rooftop, aiming a rifle at them. As Graham is taking out a knife to stab Lecter, Chiyoh shoots Graham in the shoulder. Back in Baltimore, Margot (Katharine Isabelle) makes arrangements for Mason, who in return for her help, asks what she wants. She responds that she wants to have children and Mason states that despite the surgery, she could still have a child with him. Margot later has sex with Bloom, who notes Mason's lead on Lecter over the FBI. Expecting Mason to go to prison, she asks Bloom if she can harvest sperm.

Crawford and Inspector Benetti (Giorgio Lupano) continue interrogating Bedelia, who still goes by Mrs. Fell. Lecter takes a wounded Graham to a hideout to remove the bullet. He then has him tied to a dining table, with Graham noting that Lecter is expecting someone else. Crawford locates Graham's location and passes Chiyoh, who walks away upon noticing Crawford's gun. Crawford finds a drugged Graham at the table but Lecter surprises him, slitting his Achilles' heel. He forces Crawford to sit, drugging him so he can't move. Lecter then takes a cranial saw and starts slicing Graham's head. Suddenly, the scene cuts to a room where Graham and Lecter find themselves hanging upside down from meathooks. Mason appears, revealing that they are in Muskrat Farm.

Police officials led by Inspector Benetti (Giorgio Lupano) interrupt the meeting between Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne). Despite Crawford claiming to be a federal agent, the police ignore him, only taking Lecter and Graham with them, intending to deliver them to Mason Verger (Joe Anderson). Officers then proceed to kill Crawford, but he is saved by Chiyoh (Tao Okamoto), who kills the officers. They leave to find Lecter and Graham in Muskrat Farm, despite Crawford having to evade authorities.

At Muskrat Farm, Mason informs Lecter and Graham about Crawford's "death", which will be blamed on Lecter. They have dinner, where Mason states his intentions of eating Lecter and then cutting Graham's face so he can wear it. Graham wounds Cordell (Glenn Fleshler) by biting his cheek and is told that he will be fed to the pigs after they cut his face. Meanwhile, Margot (Katharine Isabelle) starts conspiring with Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) to get Mason's sperm in hopes of conceiving a child, with Bloom acting as the surrogate. However, Mason is aware of their relationship and intentions and says he already found a surrogate, just saying "she is on the farm".

While Bloom explains her decisions with Graham, Margot visits a caged Lecter, who tells her that Mason will betray her. Bloom suddenly arrives and kills a guard. She then approaches, willing to release him if he can "save Will", which he promises. She releases him, but Lecter states that Margot must be the one to kill Mason so she can take the sperm, with Lecter taking the blame for her. Mason's surgery begins and he is put under anesthesia, but Cordell starts slicing Graham's face without using anesthesia on him. Lecter arrives and kills Cordell, cutting his face and putting it on Mason's, who is horrified to discover it when he wakes up.

Bloom and Margot find the surrogate and they are horrified to discover that the surrogate is a pig with a fetus. When they remove the child, they find that it is stillborn. They confront Mason, who just found out about Lecter's killing spree. Margot intends to kill Mason, although Mason states he kept his promise and that if he dies, she will lose the fortune. However, Bloom reveals that Lecter managed to get his sperm while he was under anesthesia and kept it in a vial. Mason tries to shoot them, but Margot fights with him, with the bullet hitting an aquarium. Margot shoves Mason's pet eel down his throat, which suffocates him to death.

Lecter takes Graham to his house in Virginia, evading Mason's guards with Chiyoh's help. The next morning, Lecter and Chiyoh part ways after Lecter reveals that while he ate his long-dead sister Mischa, he didn't kill her. Graham tells Lecter he will let him escape, but wants nothing more to do with him. After saying goodbye, Graham sees Lecter leave the house. By nightfall, Crawford and the police arrive, looking for Lecter. Lecter is revealed to be still in the area, and willingly surrenders in front of Graham. In the distance, Chiyoh sees Lecter being taken by the authorities.

In the opening sequence, the Cast frame quotes "Miss Goldilocks appears through the courtesy of The Mervin LeBoy Productions". This is in reference to Mervyn LeRoy, the film producer.

Once upon a time, in a comical re-creation of the traditional tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we see a quaint cottage where Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear live. They're all sitting at the breakfast table in anticipation of getting their porridge, when a bowl of porridge drops onto the table in front of each of them. Having surmised that the porridge is too hot to eat, the Bears decide to take a ride. While looking in the mirror, Mama dons her hat and turns the mirror over to see how it looks from the back (in the mirror we see a reflection of her back side). As they all head for the door, Baby exits from the small door, Mama from the medium-sized door, and Papa from the large door. We see them riding through the forest on a tricycle when Mama and Papa decide to take a break from pedalling, leaving Baby to relentlessly power the tricycle (out of fear of having an accident).

Goldilocks appears, skipping carelessly through the forest when she comes upon the Bears' cottage and knocks on the door. And who is home? None other than the Big Bad Wolf from the tale of Little Red Riding Hood in bed wearing Grandma's nightgown and cap! He says in a deep voice, "Come in Little Red...", coughs, then in a soft female voice, "Come in Little Red Riding Hood!" As Goldilocks opens the door, the wolf looks surprised and says, "What is this, a frame-up? Who are you?". Goldilocks introduces herself and says, "Isn't this where the Three Bears live?". Sarcastically, the Wolf replies, "Nah, this isn't where the Three Bears live! That outfit lives two miles down the road at the first stop signal!" He shoos Goldilocks out the door before she spoils everything.

When the Wolf realizes that she's Goldilocks from the story by the same name, he heads over to the Three Bears' cottage by hailing a taxi, and says, "To the three Bear's house, and step on it! I'll take care of any tickets!". When he arrives, he sneaks in the window and takes his place in the Baby's bed.

As the three Bears are cycling home, Papa Bear imitates a police car siren, but can't contain his laughter because it sounds so corny, so Mama slaps him in the face from behind. When they arrive, Goldilocks opens the door as we see the Wolf waiting impatiently in bed, rapping his fingers, for something to happen.

Meanwhile, Little Red Riding Hood is walking through the forest with a basket of goodies for her Grandma. She opens the door and calls to her grandmother, but she discovers that there is a note pinned to her pillow. The note reads, "Dear Red: Got tired of waiting. Have gone to Three Bears' house to eat up Little Goldilocks. Love, the Wolf". Red immediately goes to the telephone and starts dialing. As sleepy little Golilocks (presumably from eating 3 big bowls of porridge) is climbing the stairs, the phone rings. She runs back down stairs and answers the phone. It's Red calling to warn her about the Wolf. She passes the note to Goldilocks over the split frame and as she finishes reading the note, she shakes Red's hand and says, "Gee, thanks a lot! See ya later!" hangs up the phone and checks the phone's coin return slot for any loose change.

The three Bears arrive home and scramble to the kitchen table, where they are surprised to find three empty bowls. From upstairs, we see the Wolf in bed, letting out a big, loud sneeze. The Bears hear this, and determine there is a robber somewhere in the cottage and all scramble under the table to hide. As Papa gets a little courage, he tells Mama that he's going to go upstairs to take care of the crook. As he's heading upstairs, he starts laughing. He thinks he's going to find Goldilocks upstairs because he says he remembers reading the story last week in Reader's Digest. Laughing, he opens the door to the bedroom and uncovers the Wolf. He can't form any words out of fear but runs downstairs, grabs his family and smashes through the front door. As they're running off into the distance, the narrator says, "So over the hill went the three Bears. Papa Bear, the Mama Bear, and the little 'bare behind'", and as Baby bear runs off into the distance, we see the rear end of his pants come down and his bare bottom showing.

Flashbacks

On the day he revealed his nature, Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) comforts Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) and removes some of her blood. He then uses a compressor spray to spill her blood in the house, making it appear that she died.

In another flashback, Lecter has a session with Abigail, using her father's corpse as a tool. Lecter claims that his father wanted to express when he slit her throat and she should do the same for him. Abigail then slits his father's throat, impressing Lecter.

On the night of the massacre at Lecter's house, Lecter receives Graham's (Hugh Dancy) warning. Lecter informs Abigail that they are waiting for Graham to arrive, although Abigail worries that they will be arrested. Lecter says they must protect each other, as she will "hunt" with him.

Present day

Graham visits Lecter for the first time in three years. Even though Graham does not want any more association with him, he wants his help in finding the "Tooth Fairy" serial killer, which he accepts to do.

Graham talks with Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas), who reveals that she is living with Margot Verger and they have a male child together, who will be the heir to Verger's fortune. Getting access to previous cases, Lecter deduces that the "Tooth Fairy" kills the families based on their lives and that he prefers to kill naked in order to "clean" himself with the new moon. Bloom later visits Lecter, warning him not to plan anything suspicious or she will revoke many of his privileges. After remembering a childhood moment, Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) starts hallucinating that he now has a dragon tail.

Graham visits one of the houses where the "Tooth Fairy" committed murders, finding a Mahjong symbol for "red dragon" carved in a tree. He finds Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki), and he reprimands her for using photos of him without authorization and for suggesting that Graham and Lecter conspired in killing and fleeing. Lounds publishes the meeting between Lecter and Graham, with Dolarhyde reading the article. He later goes to a film developing lab to talk with a blind employee, Reba McClane (Rutina Wesley) and ask for a film. He decides to drive her home, where she asks him to touch his face but Dolarhyde declines.

Graham starts having nightmares where he views himself as the "Tooth Fairy". Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) visits Lecter at his cell, discussing Graham's case and Lecter expresses his displeasure with Crawford letting Graham work on the case. Later, Lecter receives a call from his "attorney", but is actually Dolarhyde. He feels delighted that Lecter took an interest on him and that the only important thing is what he is becoming. When Lecter asks what he is becoming, Dolarhyde replies "The Great Red Dragon".

Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) practices his speaking before contacting the institution where Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), making the conversation they had in the previous episode. He then imagines a therapy session with Lecter, explaining how he feels compelled by "The Great Red Dragon".

Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) is giving a lecture detailing her experience with Lecter when she is approached by Graham (Hugh Dancy). He calls her out for aligning with him, but she notes he is still interested in Lecter. Meanwhile, Dolarhyde takes Reba (Rutina Wesley) to a zoo, allowing her the experience of touching a sleeping tiger. Dolarhyde, who views the tiger as shining brighter, feels worried when Reba approaches her hand to the tiger's teeth but she is safe. They then go to Dolarhyde's house, where they have sex. Dolarhyde then imagines Reba bathed in a yellow light, in the exact same manner as ''The Woman Clothed in Sun'' painting.

When Dolarhyde wakes up the next morning, he has an hallucination. He then suddenly sees Reba has disappeared and runs off to the attic where he has the paintings and finds Reba nearby. The hallucinations and the power of the painting make Dolarhyde see that the "Dragon" wants him to kill Reba. From his cell, Lecter uses the phone but manages to divert the hospital's attention by passing through the lines, eventually getting contacting Chilton's office, where he manages to get Graham's phone and address.

Graham questions Bedelia's intentions and she recalls her encounter with Neal Frank (Zachary Quinto), a patient referred to her by Lecter. He believes something is wrong with Lecter who felt his sessions with him actually worsened. Having rejected Lecter's medicaments, he asks for her advice, and she states she will give him the exact medicaments that Lecter gave him. Angered, Frank then starts to choke on his tongue. Bedelia tries to save him by clearing his airway but ends up shoving her hand down to Frank's throat, accidentally killing him. Back to the present, Bedelia tells Graham that he can still save himself.

Graham visits Lecter to discuss more about "The Tooth Fairy", with Lecter noting that he kills families in order to help his "becoming". During the conversation, Lecter mentions ''The Great Red Dragon'' paintings. At the Brooklyn Museum, Dolarhyde poses as a writer to gain access to a painting: the original copy of ''The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun'' painting. After knocking the docent in charge, he touches the original painting and starts eating the paper. However, Graham is also checking at the museum. Dolarhyde hides in an elevator in order to avoid being seen but Graham catches him, although Dolarhyde throws him out of the elevator and escapes. Graham goes upstairs, finding no sign of Dolarhyde.

Graham (Hugh Dancy) discusses with Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) about encountering Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) at the Brooklyn Museum. Graham deduces that Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) knows about him, as he directed him to ''The Great Red Dragon'' paintings.

Through the phone, Dolarhyde has another session with Lecter. Dolarhyde claims that "The Great Red Dragon" is motivating him to kill Reba (Rutina Wesley). Lecter convinces him that he can please the Dragon by killing someone else. As Dolarhyde takes an interest on Graham, Lecter tells him to kill him and his family. That night, Dolarhyde hallucinates that he is becoming a dragon, with wings and a tail emerging from his body. He then watches home movies with Reba, whose blindness prevents her from seeing that he is watching Graham's family. The next day, Molly (Nina Arianda) discovers that their dogs have been poisoned but asks Walter (Gabriel Browning Rodriguez) not to tell Graham.

Graham questions Lecter about "The Tooth Fairy", although Lecter claims not to know much about him. Lecter questions if he can see his own family as the next victims. He claims to know who is the next target but won't disclose it, stating that he doesn't let them die, is Graham who lets them. That night, Dolarhyde sneaks on Graham's house in order to kill his family. However, Molly anticipates this and manages to make a distraction, allowing her and Walter to escape. They manage to stop a car but Dolarhyde kills the driver, forcing Molly to drive it herself. As she drives, Dolarhyde shoots her in the shoulder but they manage to escape, angering him.

Graham goes to the hospital while Molly is in surgery, comforting Walter in the waiting room. Even though Graham states he will catch the killer, Walter actually wants him to kill him. Lecter is visited by Bloom, who has found out that he hasn't talked to his attorney in a long time and was actually talking to the "Tooth Fairy". Crawford shows up and informs them that the hospital will surveil his phone calls in order to identify the killer. At home, Dolarhyde hallucinates being beaten by "The Great Red Dragon" for his failure. Worried that the Dragon will hurt her, Dolarhyde breaks up with Reba at her lab, although he doesn't express himself well and appears to blame Reba. She accepts it but asks him to leave.

Feeling dejected, Dolarhyde calls Lecter, while Crawford and Bloom are listening nearby. Dolarhyde expresses concern that he would return to his house as she appears to like him, and worries the Dragon will kill her. Lecter suddenly warns him that "they are listening" and hangs up. For his actions, Bloom removes all of Lecter's artwork and privileges, even his toilet. The team is also unable to properly find Dolarhyde, as he used Lecter's attorney's ID to make the calls.

Molly finally wakes up from the surgery and talks with Graham, knowing that Lecter sent Dolarhyde after her and Walter. She accuses Crawford of insubordination for putting them in danger, but Graham blames himself for letting them alone. He then confronts Lecter at his cell, telling him he is tired of him. Lecter admits sending Dolarhyde to kill his family and sending him the address and even asks how Molly is. Graham realizes that Lecter motivated Dolarhyde by pushing him by "becoming" the Red Dragon, viewing his crimes not as "murdering" but as "changing" the victims.

Graham has a therapy session with Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), explaining that he is starting to imagine himself committing the murders by "The Tooth Fairy". Bedelia states that Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) planned for Graham to have a family so he could it take away from him, even noting that she herself will be eaten someday by Lecter. Graham wonders if Lecter loves him, and Bedelia confirms it but she asks if he could love him back.

Lecter talks with Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), deeming Graham as the "Lamb of God" and that his "wrath" should be of concern to them. Crawford later meets with Graham and Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) to work on a plan to find "The Tooth Fairy". Graham wants to make a meeting with Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) where he will provoke the killer out of hiding by talking badly about him but they feel he needs someone with him. During this, Dr. Chilton (Raúl Esparza) meets with Lecter to call him out for Lecter sending refuted claims about Chilton on ''The American Journal of Psychiatry''.

The team uses Graham and Chilton for an interview with Lounds, where they claim that "The Tooth Fairy" is a "vicious, perverted, sexual failure" and a product of incest. They then take a photograph of them, and Lounds publishes their insulting remarks. Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) reads the interview and is angry. However, instead of kidnapping Graham, he actually kidnaps Chilton and takes him to his house. Dolarhyde glues a naked Chilton to a chair, where Chilton feels he is being "burned". Dolarhyde, wearing a mask, starts taunting a frightened Chilton.

Suddenly, Reba (Rutina Wesley) visits Dolarhyde's house, thinking he was sick. She enters the house, unaware that Chilton is there. They have a brief conversation, where she refers to him as "D" and leaves. Dolarhyde then shows Chilton some slides, showing ''The Great Red Dragon'' Paintings as well as his victims, one of which includes a photograph of Chilton and Graham. Chilton starts panicking, claiming everything he said was false. Dolarhyde shows his Red Dragon tattoo and proclaims he will have to refute his claims. He records Chilton admitting that his claims were false, intending to allow him to go. However, Dolarhyde states he will now understand his pain, revealing his abnormally sharp teeth and bites Chilton's lips.

Dolarhyde sends the lips to Lecter with a note that reads "He offended me with these". When Crawford arrives, he finds that only one lip remains, as Lecter ate the other one. Bloom blames Lecter for discrediting Chilton, but he blames her for letting him participate on the plan and risking him. The team later watches Chilton's tape, where he blames everything on Graham before seeing Dolarhyde bite his lips. Graham has another session with Bedelia, who notes that on the interview's photograph, Graham placed his hand on Chilton's shoulder. Bedelia deduces that he expected Dolarhyde to go after Chilton as he feels influenced by Lecter's "participation".

Chilton is placed on a wheelchair and is then burned alive. At the hospital, Graham and Crawfor visit Chilton, who is still alive despite his severe injuries. Chilton calls out Graham, blaming him for having put his hand on his shoulder and "set him up". Nevertheless, Chilton says he saw a black blind woman with Dolarhyde. Dolarhyde kidnaps Reba and takes her to his house, where he reveals the crimes committed. He proclaims that he is becoming "The Dragon", as he imagines himself having wings.

Having kidnapped Reba (Rutina Wesley), Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) instructs her not to escape. She still tries it and is caught by Dolarhyde. He then takes a shotgun and starts spilling gasoline over his house. He lights his house on fire, but unwilling to see her die, shoots himself in the head with the shotgun. Having already visited the house, Reba manages to escape but is wounded.

Graham (Hugh Dancy) visits Reba at the hospital, where he deduces that Dolarhyde's love for her made him commit suicide. He later visits Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) at his cell to inform him of Dolarhyde's death. During their conversation, Graham realizes that Lecter turned himself in so he could always know where he was and leaves disgusted. At his hotel room, Graham is attacked by an alive Dolarhyde. Dolarhyde expresses his disappointment for Lecter's betrayal and Graham suggests that he could "change" Lecter like his previous victims.

At BAU, Price (Scott Thompson) and Zeller (Aaron Abrams) inform Graham and Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) that the body retrieved at Dolarhyde's house wasn't his and only used it to deceive Reba. Graham decides to use Lecter as a bait, in order to attract Dolarhyde's attention by a fake escape attempt. He tells Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), who is shocked at his plans. She is even more stunned when Graham informs her that if Lecter escapes, he won't go after him again. Meanwhile, Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) visits Chilton (Raúl Esparza) at his hyperbaric chamber, who warns him that Graham and Lecter could be the exact same and she could be manipulated.

Bloom visits Lecter to ask for his cooperation, promising to return his privileges if he helps in catching Dolarhyde. He will only agree on the term that Graham himself asks him. Graham agrees, but the plan is actually to have both Dolarhyde and Lecter killed in the scene. While on route, Dolarhyde crashes all the cars transporting Lecter, killing all the agents transporting him. Lecter and Graham wake up as the sole survivors, spared by Dolarhyde, and flee on a police cruiser. Fearing for her safety and having been threatened by Lecter, Bloom takes Margot (Katharine Isabelle) and their son to escape to a safe place.

Lecter and Graham reach Lecter's cliffside house, which is where Lecter had Abigail Hobbs and Miriam Lass. That night, as they wait for Dolarhyde, they have a conversation until Lecter is shot by Dolarhyde through the window, who then breaks through a window with a silencer. Dolarhyde intends to record Lecter's death while he taunts him. Graham tries to take out his gun but Dolarhyde stabs Graham in the cheek and throws him to the patio. They both take turns into stabbing Dolarhyde with a knife and an axe until Dolarhyde finally drops dead. Facing multiple wounds, Lecter and Graham embrace. Lecter says "this is all I ever wanted for both of us" and Graham replies "it's beautiful". They continue embracing and Graham leans both to fall over the cliff, their fate unknown.

In a post-credits scene, Bedelia is seen prepared for dinner. The camera reveals that she is about to eat a cooked leg, revealed to be Bedelia's missing leg. The table is revealed to be for three guests. A person stops a record player while Bedelia takes a fork, preparing to eat.

Ethan Belfrage (Cary Elwes) is a photojournalist who is separated from his wife. One afternoon he is confronted by two men, Aaron (Frank Whaley) and Jake (Matt Dallas), who proceed to attack and kidnap him. They lock Ethan up and accuse him of being responsible for the death of their cult leader and pastor, who is the father of a third attacker, Helen Kalahan (Andie MacDowell). Helen and Aaron claim that Ethan is one of the three assailants who killed the cult leader. When Ethan tries to contact his neighbor Sarah (Emma Kantor) for help, they then kidnap her as well. Aaron, who has a neo-Nazi tattoo on his neck, hog-ties Sarah and begins questioning her. He asks if she and Ethan are in a relationship but she denies it.

The three attackers begin arguing and Helen angers Aaron by suggesting that he has psychological problems so he kills Sarah by injecting her with drugs. Aaron and Helen continue to torture Ethan until he confesses to murdering the pastor. They then make him write down the details of the pastor's murder but he refuses to cooperate, angering his attackers, who threaten to burn him alive. Ethan tries to delay them by telling them he has information containing details of the murder locked away. Aaron says that if Ethan can't find the information they will kill his daughter.

Based on the proof that was locked away, Helen realizes that Ethan is not responsible for the pastor's death and tells Aaron he must be set free. Furious at the idea of freeing Ethan, Aaron kidnaps Ethan's wife and daughter, holding them hostage. Jake intervenes to stop Aaron from killing the young girl and as such Aaron accidentally shoots him. Ethan is able to untied himself using a knife Helen had given him and kills both Aaron and Helen with Aaron's gun. The film ends with Ethan and his family free from the assailants with the house burning up in flames, and it is revealed that Ethan was responsible for the murder of the pastor after all.

Tae-yul, the best swordsman in Joseon who serves King Gwanghaegun as his bodyguard, refuses to join a rebellion of the King's top officials, who believe him too weak to lead the nation against foreign invaders. One of the rebellion's leaders, Min Seung-ho, challenges him to a duel, during which Tae-yul's sword shatters and shards of metal pierce his eyes. The King personally stops the duel, declaring that he will abdicate the throne, and releases Tae-yul from his service.

Years later, an older Tae-yul now lives with his teenage daughter, Tae-ok. The two live and work as trappers, but Tae-ok is increasingly frustrated with her father's refusal to let her experience life outside of their home in the mountains; Tae-yul retorts that the world is far more dangerous than she understands and that he only wants to protect her. Tae-yul's injuries have grown worse, and a local monk warns Tae-ok that unless his eyes are treated with special herbs, he will go completely blind in a few days. The monk sends them to the trader Hwa Seon, but Seon reveals that the herbs are both too expensive and only available to those with political connections.

The Joseon royal court receives a visit from Gurutai, a relative of the Qing emperor who has enriched himself by enslaving and selling captives taken during the recent Qing invasion of Joseon. With their nation already suffering under the corrupt rule of the Qing, the King and his advisors fear that Gurutai will soon force them to hand over their own children as "tributes" to Qing nobles. Lee Mok-yo, a respected member of the court, decides to write a petition to the King to start openly resisting the Qing and their demands. He also makes a request to Seon for help finding a young girl to care for his aging mother; Seon recommends Tae-ok, who is both excited at the prospect of being adopted by a wealthy family and earning the herbs her father needs.

Gurutai's men harass Seon and her workers, and Tae-yul, using only his cane, fights them off when they threaten Tae-ok. Later that evening, Tae-ok leaves for Lee's estate, where Gurutai and his personal retinue of assassins soon carry out an ambush, killing all of Lee's servants and taking his daughter and Tae-ok as hostages. Tae-yul learns about his daughter's kidnapping when he survives an attempt on his life, then saves Seon from a retaliatory attack by a Qing slaver. He locates the main slave camp used by Gurutai and burns it to the ground after butchering the guards and freeing those held captive inside. A lone survivor agrees to lead him to Gurutai's private compound.

Lee, leading a force of royal guardsmen, tries to rescue his daughter but instead watches helplessly as his men are gunned down by Qing riflemen. Tae-yul shows up and kills not only the entire company of riflemen but Gurutai's assassins as well. He finally collapses from exhaustion, and is rescued by Lee and Seon, who administer the herbs. Seon admits to Tae-yul that he'll still go blind anyway, at which point he won't be able to fight. With little time remaining, Tae-yul confronts Min, now employed by Gurutai after betraying Lee out of disgust for his self-serving ways.

After a brief duel, Tae-yul forces Min to yield, at which point Gurutai slits his throat for losing. The two men face each other in a final battle, with Gurutai ordering his mistress to hold Tae-ok at knifepoint and a Qing envoy observing the duel. Gurutai initially has the upper hand, but Tae-yul manages to stab his mistress through the neck, saving Tae-ok, before disarming and impaling Gurutai with his sword. The envoy stops his guards from interfering, allowing Tae-ok and the other slaves to go free. Tae-yul embraces his daughter as he slowly goes completely blind.

A flashback reveals that Tae-ok is not Tae-yul's biological daughter, but rather the only child of King Gwanghaegun; the King tasked Tae-yul with raising her as his own child so he would have a reason to live. The movie ends with Tae-yul and Tae-ok slowly making their way down the mountain, with Tae-yul declaring that he's ready to see the rest of the world.

Kostis, the new general practitioner, arrives on the resort island Antiparos, and greets the mayor. The mayor tells that, outside of the summer months, the population is around 800 and life is quiet. Kostis settles in amid Christmas celebrations, meeting several people, among them Takis, a villager who crudely assures him that the island will be overflowing with hedonistic young women during the summer.

The summer comes along and Kostis treats a young tourist named Anna, who has injured her leg. Her friends – Alin, Mila, Jason, and Morten – insist on accompanying her into the examination room and behave obnoxiously. Kostis humors them and asks Anna several questions while filling out paperwork. Anna playfully turns the questions on Kostis, who admits that he is twice her age, 21. Before leaving, Anna suggests Kostis come with them to the beach.

Kostis leaves for the beach after he is done at work. Overweight and balding, Kostis stands out at the nude beach even more for having arrived fully dressed. After taking off some of his clothing, he makes a pretense toward asking Anna and her friends if they have a lighter. Recognizing him, they invite him to join them. Kostis watches as they frolic nude on the beach, later joining them in the water. When he swims over to Anna and asks how her leg is, she demonstrates by diving underwater and spreading her legs in front of him while upside down. Kostis, infatuated with Anna, begins hanging out at the beach after work and supplying her friends with free beer. On one occasion, he turns away an elderly woman who has complained of back pain so he can leave for the beach as soon as his office closes.

At the beach, Anna invites him to join a pool party. Though initially reluctant, Kostis chances upon Orestis, a former medical school colleague who is vacationing on the beach with his family. Overhearing Kostis' invitation, he encourages Kostis to go, as the parties have a reputation for hedonistic abandon; Kostis agrees. Once there, the host urges everyone to kiss whomever is near them. The partiers make out with each other, in both heterosexual and homosexual couplings, though Kostis is only interested in Anna. They start making out, but she turns to make out with others, leaving Kostis jealous. Anna chastises him, and he wanders away from the party, dejected. Orestis, who has also attended the party, consoles him, saying that such parties are not for middle-aged men such as them.

As Kostis spends more time ingratiating himself into Anna's company, the villagers complain about his behavior, such as turning away the elderly woman. Eventually, Anna invites him to the beach with her alone, and the two have sex. Ashamed at orgasming too quickly, Kostis apologizes. Anna brushes it aside and says he will have much time over the summer to make it up to her. However, Anna is nowhere to be found for the next few days. Kostis spends the bulk of his time searching the beaches and bars for her, becoming increasingly frustrated and drunken. Finding Kostis at a bar, Takis encourages him to carouse with him. They pick up a female tourist, who eventually grows frustrated with Takis' sexually aggressive behavior. Kostis stands up for her, annoying Takis, and she performs oral sex on Kostis to please him.

When Anna finally reappears, she happily jumps into his arms. Angry, Kostis berates her for leaving the island without telling him. When she becomes offended, he apologizes and professes his love for her, but she only becomes more adamant that she does not want to see him again. Crushed, Kostis begins stalking her, watching covertly as she has sex. When Kostis forcefully attempts to dance with her at a club, the bouncer throws him out. As his life falls apart, Kostis comes in hours late to the clinic during an emergency. The mayor, frustrated with Kostis' behavior, fires him. Kostis sullenly becomes drunk, assaults one of Anna's friends, and kidnaps her. After drugging her and dragging her unconscious body back to the clinic, he takes off her shorts but doesn't go through with raping her. Upon checking her pulse, he begins crying, then cleans the original wound on her leg, and starts to restitch it, still sobbing.

Eminescu begins his story in mid-thought, with first-person musings about subjectivity, ''qualia'', time perception, and the physical world being "our soul's dream". The narrator then reveals that this is a quote from the amateur metaphysician Dionis. He describes the latter as an unkempt, but good looking, young Bucharester, reduced to poverty and prone to daydreaming. He is an orphan, born out of wedlock to a mysterious aristocrat and a priest's daughter. Although a passionate esotericist and reader of sacred books, Dionis is more of "a superstitious atheist".

In his miserable room, Dionis is studying an almanac of astrology, and listening, through the open window, to a girl singing; charmed by the sound, he sees (or imagines) the girl as a modern-day Ophelia. In this reverie, his eyes affixed on the zodiac, Dionis understands that he can freely travel back into the glorified past. He chooses for his destination ancient Moldavia, under the rule of Prince Alexander the Good. When he awakens, he finds himself on a meadow near Iași, dressed in Orthodox monastic clothes, and grasping the almanac. He is Friar Dan, who he has only dreamed of being Dionis, and the book is a present from his teacher, Ruben.

Ruben, a learned and pious Sephardi Jew living in exile at the "Socola Academy", has instructed his favorite pupil about "metempsychosis" and apport: "you can slip into the lives of all the ones who led up to your life [and] into all the future lives caused by your present life"; "you can go any place you want, although you cannot leave it void behind you. [...] there's no such thing as fully vacant space." Simultaneous travel in spacetime, Ruben teaches, may only happen if one changes places with one's ancestors or descendants. Taking the Dionis experience as evidence that Ruben is right, Dan asks to be transported into an ideal universe, and is told by his master that such a place exists "in your immortal soul". If Dan wishes to reach it, he is to read every seventh page of a spell book: each will take him to a new place, in no known order, and no location can be visited twice. After Dan leaves, book in hand, Ruben is revealed to have been possessed by Satan, who takes joy at having ensnared a pious monk: the book is in fact an instrument of perdition.

Back in his room, Dan decides to use the book for an egotistic purpose. He is in love with Maria, daughter of ''Spatharios'' Mesteacăn, and secretly wishes to kidnap her. As Dan weighs in the possibilities, his own shadow begins talking to him, telling him that the book he read was written by the prophet Zoroaster; and that he, Dan, as the reincarnation of Zoroaster, is entitled to use the book as he pleases. The monk and his shadow strike a deal: Dan will assign his mortal's identity to the shadow, while he himself will become a "shape of light", with the shadow's power to transcendent. Under this guise, Dionis visits Maria, and persuades her to make a similar exchange with her own shadow.

As a new Zoroaster, Dan carries his lover to the moon. No longer held back by the laws of physics, he rearranges the celestial sphere and the lunar landscape for Maria's pleasure, building her a heavenly abode, serviced by the angels and decorated with blue flowers; in this arrangement, Earth itself is a contemptible atom, consumed by hatred and war. Dan finds that the entire cosmos is his, except for the inaccessible "dome of God". He becomes obsessed with looking upon the divine countenance, and with reshaping the angels into instruments of his will; Dan begins to formulate a thought, that he himself may be God, and may not be remembering as much.

With this (half-uttered) blasphemy, everything is lost. Feeling himself expelled from Heaven, Dan reawakens as Dionis, and catches a glimpse of the singing girl: "Ophelia" is Dan's Maria. Still confused by his apparent change of status, and not being sure of himself, Dionis decides to write her a letter, confessing his affection. When, from the window, she shows him that the letter has impressed her, Dionis faints with emotion. He is carried to hospital by concerned philanthropists and makes a slow recovery, while Maria secretly arranges to have his room cleaned and refurbished. Dionis wakes up in a beautified home, with Maria watching over him. They become lovers.

In medieval Iași, Dan also experiences a rude awakening, and, like Dionis, is apparently ill. He is visited by a Jewish man, whom he takes for a ''kaftan''- and ''payot''-wearing Ruben—telling him that the shadow he left behind has written a precious memoir. "Ruben" reveals himself to be his book vendor, Riven, and denies any knowledge of their dialogues on metempsychosis. Despondent, Dan begins to suspect that he has been tricked by devils. Eminescu ends his account with a series of open questions, without revealing any explicit moral to the story.

The game's plot is magic realist, and takes place at a Christian summer camp where misbehaving teenagers are sent to confront the Devil. The three main characters are named Neptune, Jupiter, and Venus.

They are sent to a cabin in the woods overnight to confront the Devil, who, along with God, can be spoken to over the radio. The ending can change depending on who has a relationship with whom. In three of the endings, the character who was most excluded becomes the Devil and goes through a monstrous transformation. If an equal amount of time is spent with each character, there is a fourth ending, in which all three choose to become the Devil. Additionally, the narration switches from male to female pronouns for Venus, as she comes to terms with her identity as a transgender girl.

The film starts when Czech king Wenceslaus IV is imprisoned by his brother Sigismund. Sigismund's troops pillage Bohemian territory. Jan Hus criticises the new order during his sermons. He also starts to criticise conditions in the Church which earns him hatred from other priests. Pope imposes Prague to an Interdict and Hus has to leave Prague. He is not safe in his hometown Husinec but Jidnřich offers him hideout. Hus is invited to Kostnice to defend his teachings. He agrees but is arrested on his way. He is executed on 6 June 1415.

The film starts with murder of Anežka Hrůzová. She was found between the village of Veznicka and the town of Polná. People conclude that Jews must have been involved with the murder as there was no sexual violence and everyone believes that murder had religious motif. Young Jewish rover Leopold Hillsner comes up as potential murderer.

The novel is set within a fictional version of Trump Tower in New York City, New York. A fictionalized version of Donald Trump appears as a character in the novel. The Trump character is described in the novel as giving out details of his sex life to others, making hiring and firing decisions, and denigrating the mental status of tenants residing in his building. ''Trump Tower'' portrays the machinations of the love lives engaged in by both residents of the building, in addition to the employees who work inside of the facility.

Sex acts are depicted within the novel including those displaying sexual kinkiness and bondage, dominance, submission, and sadomasochism. A worker in the book is depicted in a sex act occurring on the set of ''The Celebrity Apprentice'' inside of Trump Tower. Women appear in the book with detailed descriptions based on their perceived level of physical attractiveness. A rape of a woman is described in detail within the first chapter of the book.

After its initial foray into erotica within the first section of the work, the tale subsequently becomes a murder mystery. One of the main protagonists of the book is the building manager of Trump Tower, Pierre Belasco, who attempts to ensure stable operation of the facility. In Belasco's point of view, "Donald Trump only thinks he rules Trump Tower." He attempts to prove this throughout the work.

At the conclusion of the work, Trump appears and usurps power from the building manager. The building manager was a suspect in the murder mystery, and by the conclusion of the work he is confirmed to have not been the killer. The novel features cameo appearances from fictional versions of celebrities including Bill Clinton.

Continuing immediately after "The Trial", Steven Universe (Zach Callison) and Lars Barriga (Matthew Moy) escape the Diamonds via the abandoned lower area of Homeworld. They are spotted by Shattering Robonoids, Gem-hunting robots that attack them. A Gem called the Rutile Twins (Ashly Burch), who has two conjoined bodies from the waist up, helps save them. The Twins lead Steven and Lars to what they describe as a place "where those who don't belong... belong". They are led to an enormous abandoned Kindergarten where the Rutile Twins call out the other Gems in hiding: a fusion named Rhodonite (Enuka Okuma), who is fearful that they have been followed; an orange Sapphire called Padparadscha (Erica Luttrell), who can only predict the "future" after it has already occurred; and a large fusion called Fluorite (Kathy Fisher). These Gems are dubbed "Off-Colors" for their differences, unusual formation, or aberrant behavior, which are seen as defective by Gem Homeworld standards; if caught, they would be shattered.

Three Robonoids appear as everyone scrambles to hide. Since Lars is not a Gem, the Robonoids can't detect him, and he risks himself to protect the others, throwing rocks at the Robonoids and blocking their scanners with his body. Steven destroys two of the Robonoids by reflecting their beams with his shield, and Lars jumps onto the third, hitting it with a broken stalactite. Lars thrusts the stalactite into the Robonoid, causing it to explode. The explosion results in Lars' body being flung against a rock column, killing him.

Devastated, Steven tearfully cradles Lars' body to his chest, his tears falling onto Lars' face. As Steven's tears are absorbed into his skin, Lars' body starts to glow bright pink. As the glowing fades, Lars comes back to life, now with a scar through one eye, as well as pink skin and hair.

Stephanie visits Margaret, the mother of the twins, who explains that at age 16, the twins had set fire to the family house, killing their father.

Meanwhile, while Stephanie is away on these investigative trips, Emily surprises Sean by reappearing, and tells him that she plans to collect the insurance money and leave the country.

Stephanie later contrives to meet with Emily, and Emily explains that she and her sister indeed started the fire to kill their abusive father. The sisters fled separately with a plan to reunite later, but Faith didn't turn up as agreed. Emily then built a career and family but then, 14 years later, Faith reappeared.

Quest Airlines pilot Glen “Lucky” Singer prepares to pilot a flight to Dallas, with romantic partner Connie Phipps as co-pilot. They're both concerned that an impending merger may mean layoffs for both of them.

Flying along as flight engineer to check on Lucky's procedures is Quest chief pilot George Bouchard, Connie's former boyfriend. He insists that Lucky fly strictly by the computerized systems, while Lucky prefers to fly by his instincts.

A distracted, inexperienced and arrogant pilot in a light aircraft takes the wrong runway. Immediately after takeoff, his small plane collides with the tail of the airliner and disintegrates in mid-air. The elevators on the airliner are jammed in the up position and trim controls are also damaged, putting the plane into an sustained climb which will eventually put it into thin air and into an unrecoverable spin. The engines must be run at full throttle to avoid stalling and begin to overheat.

Lucky has a conference call with air traffic control, engineers from Gallant – the manufacturer of the aircraft – and Frank O’Hearn, his childhood friend, now a colonel in the Air Force. Lucky suggests shifting weight forward to reduce the climb rate. Gallant's simulations predict the weight shift would be insufficient. During a trip to the lavatory, Lucky has the idea to fill the forward wheel well with water to weigh down the nose. A team of Canadian riggers led by Tim offers to help.

The Army sends an AH-64 helicopter to assess damage. Lucky is inspired to use the 30mm cannon on the helicopter to shoot holes in the elevators to reduce their influence as well as reduce drag which is straining the airframe. Duke, a former attack helicopter pilot confirms it will work.

Lucky suggests his water plan to Frank, who can have a KC-10 refueling tanker filled with water for the mission. To deal with the low temperatures at high altitude, they will attach a bundle of Air Force arctic gear to the flying boom of the tanker. The riggers will have to pull the bundle in through the emergency hatch in the ceiling of the cockpit. Connie will fly the plane in sub-zero temperatures while Lucky will immediately get into arctic gear, then he will take the controls while the riggers remove Connie and get her into the gear. George will hold the refueling hose in the oxygen hold.

Gallant's chief engineer insists there isn't enough emergency oxygen for all of the passengers and recommends sacrificing older and infirm passengers by putting them into the rear cabin and tricking the crew into closing the rear valve to divert all oxygen to the masks in the front cabin. George initially complies then realizes they are being lied to as the valve should not need to be manually opened as Gallant claims.

The scheme goes as planned, although Connie temporarily loses consciousness. The water in the wheel well is insufficient, so George stays in the oxygen hold and tells them to pump more. When he is on the verge of drowning, Lucky pulls him out. The nose begins to drop and Lucky puts the plane into a steep dive to get to a lower altitude so the passengers can breathe. The retracting hose whips through the cockpit and slams into the center console, disabling the instruments. Air traffic control talks Lucky down and they deploy the landing gear in time to release the water. The nose wheel collapses on touchdown, but the plane skids to a stop on the runway without injuries. Lucky and Connie leave the plane to find the passengers waiting on the concourse to applaud them.

Lucky proposes marriage and Connie accepts.

Eli (Justin Chon) and Daniel (David So) are two Korean American brothers who own their late father's struggling shoe store in the predominantly African-American community of Paramount, California. They develop a unique and unlikely friendship with an 11-year-old African American girl, Kamilla (Baker). The three deal with hardships on a daily basis; Eli and Daniel face racism from African Americans and Hispanics, and Kamilla has a troubled family life after the death of her mother some years earlier. Kamilla is also constantly badgered by Mr. Kim (Sang Chon), who owns a liquor store near Eli and Daniel's shoe store; this leads to Eli often intervening on Kamilla's behalf, straining the relationship between Mr. Kim and Eli. Mr. Kim speaks to Eli in Korean and Eli replies primarily in English, and occasionally in Korean. On April 29, 1992, the news of the day is focused on the pending Rodney King assault verdict. Kamilla ditches school and heads to the shoe store; Eli stresses about the store staying afloat, while Daniel tries to have a good time, often disregarding the customers while dreaming of becoming a recording artist.

As the day passes, the verdict from the trial is read on the news, acquitting the officers for the beating of King. Because of this, racial tensions build to a breaking point in L.A. as the 1992 Los Angeles riots break out in nearby South Central Los Angeles. Daniel and Eli get into an argument over Daniel granting excessive discounts to customers, and Daniel leaves the store to record a demo tape. On the way to the recording studio, Daniel is jumped by Kamilla's brother Keith (Cook, Jr.) and his friends, who take his money and necklace. They only stop assaulting Daniel when Keith receives a message on his pager saying "free shit South Central", alluding to the nearby riots. Daniel proceeds to record his demo tape but cannot pay the owner of the studio due to being robbed. The studio owner convinces him to pay his debt by assisting him in looting at the riots. While driving through the riot areas, Daniel is pulled out of a car by rioters and assaulted again. Mr. Kim later picks Daniel up in his van. Mr. Kim then discloses to Daniel that he served in the South Korean military with Eli and Daniel's father as part of the country's conscription law.

As day turns to night, Kamilla goes home, where Keith finds out she has been hanging out at the shoe store because of a pair of Air Jordan sneakers in her backpack that Eli gave to her earlier that day. After a heated argument, Keith flies into a rage, as their mother's death was somehow caused by the Korean family that owned the store. Keith plots to round up his crew to rob Eli and Daniel's store of their remaining sneakers. After he leaves, Kamilla takes his other gun and runs to warn Eli and Daniel about Keith's intentions. Eli is unable to start his car and attempts to fix it, eventually realizing that he is out of gas. Shortly thereafter Mr. Kim returns with Daniel; Daniel and Eli argue briefly before Eli begins to argue with Mr. Kim before Mr. Kim provides a cigarette as a peace offering. Kim then talks to Eli about when he and Eli's father started the shoe store, and how his father and Kamilla's mother died during a robbery at the store, and how their lives weren't what they wanted to give their kids. Eli and Daniel argue over whether to remove the shoes from the premises or to surrender the shoes to Keith and lose the store, which is already two months behind on rent. Eli decides to stay behind to try to move the shoes, while Daniel and Kamilla leave. With his car unable to start, Eli packs up as many shoes as he can carry, but upon leaving the store is robbed of the shoes at gunpoint by three Hispanic gang members, who had jumped him earlier that day.

Eli reunites with Daniel and Kamilla at a nearby restaurant. They encounter Jesus, a Hispanic man from their neighborhood who helps around the store, who gives Eli a gas can to fill up his car. Jesus also discloses to them that he put the Air Jordans on the store roof; the shoes Eli thought were robbed were in fact women's shoes in the Air Jordans boxes. Eli, Daniel, and Kamilla attempt to move the sneakers when Keith arrives, forcing them to hide on the roof. Eli decides to just throw the shoes they came to steal down to them, as he had decided to close the store and seek a new beginning. Keith is convinced by his friends to leave the shoe store but eventually returns and threatens to burn the store down with a gas can and Molotov cocktails. Kamilla, with Keith's other gun, runs out to fire a shot to keep them from burning down the store but trips as she exits and shoots herself. Keith's friends leave when they hear the shot, leaving Keith and Eli to take Kamilla to a nearby hospital. Keith has an emotional breakdown directed at Eli, then himself, and Eli stops him. Eli returns to the store in the morning and shakes his head, letting Daniel know that Kamilla passed away. Eli tells Daniel to grab the Molotov cocktails that Keith left behind. Eli burns the store down. The final shot is the same as the first; the spirit of Kamilla dancing to the burning shoe store.

Jared Eamons is the son of Marshall Eamons, a successful car dealer and Baptist preacher in Arkansas, and Nancy Eamons, a hairdresser. He begins his first day at the Love In Action gay conversion therapy assessment program in Memphis, Tennessee. Chief therapist Victor Sykes tells the group that their sexuality is a choice influenced by poor parenting. He instructs them to perform harsh "moral inventories" of themselves and their families and requires them not to tell anyone else about what occurs during the sessions.

While performing his moral inventory, Jared thinks of his life prior to entering the program. In high school, he was happy, though he broke up with his girlfriend upon starting college. Once there, he became friends with another student, Henry. While staying the night in Jared's dorm room in bunk beds, Henry rapes Jared, apologizes and tearfully confesses doing the same to another young man. Traumatized, Jared returned home.

Henry called the Eamons's home and posed as a school counselor in order to out Jared and ensure his silence. Jared tells his parents this was another student who had told him things about his past and was afraid of Jared revealing his secrets. Jared later agrees that he is attracted to men.

After consulting with other pastors, Marshall prays over his son, and then signs him up for conversion therapy, to which Jared reluctantly agrees.

Nancy rents a nearby motel room for her and Jared to stay in until he completes the assessment; however, Jared soon discovers that the therapy has no set end point if he fails to convince Sykes that he has become heterosexual. Some students are "confessing" and playing the game so they can leave; others truly hope to change.

Jared tells his mother the program teaches the participants to see their parents as troubled and that is why they are not supposed to talk about what goes on to their parents, to safeguard the program's continued funding. Nancy insists Jared lets her read the program's handbook, which contains questionable psychology and many grammatical and typographical errors.

It appears that Jared will be at the institution for some time. After failing an exercise, attendee Cameron is humiliated by Sykes in front of the group and intimidated with a fake funeral service. Cameron is beaten with bibles by both the therapists and his own family and is forcibly dunked in a bathtub. A horrified Jared looks on.

Later, Jared thinks of a brief encounter he had with an art student in college. He uses it when it his time to confess, but Sykes finds holding hands with a boy to be an inadequate admission and pushes him to give more explicit details. Jared says he will not lie, so Sykes pushes him to talk about Henry. Jared is shocked and refuses. Sykes then attempts to make Jared "use his anger" and say he hates his father. Jared refuses to do this, as he knows it is Sykes that he is angry with. Jared storms out of the room, retrieves his phone and calls Nancy, begging her to pick him up. Sykes, his assistants and the other attendees corner Jared behind a locked door despite Nancy's presence. Cameron stands up for him and helps get Jared to Nancy, who takes him home.

Nancy is horrified that she has allowed her husband to enroll Jared in an unvetted program without researching its practices. Marshall remains adamant about Jared remaining in the program, but Nancy steadfastly overrules him. Soon after, Jared learns from the police, via his mother, that Cameron committed suicide while still in the program's care. Marshall approaches Jared to console him, but Jared turns away.

Four years later, Jared is living in New York City with his boyfriend. He writes an article that exposes the realities of the Love In Action program. Jared returns home to convince his father to read the article and tells him he is the one who must change, not Jared. He asks his father to join his mother in visiting him for Christmas.

After being caught, professional criminals Johnny (John Stamos) and Rita (Melissa George) make a deal with Special Agent Shue (Robert Knepper) to work for the government in exchange for jail time.

Ray LaPine (John Larroquette) and Pinky Steuben (John Rhys-Davies) work at a tired old camera store named Bibideaux Photographic. The entire movie occurs on Christmas Eve 1994.

In a remote 5th century monastery the monks live and toil, led by an elderly abbot. The old man likes to play the organ, write music and compose Latin verses but is famous most of all for his eloquence and fiery, inspirational monologues which leave everybody around him enchanted. Then one night a drunkard knocks the door of the gates, saying he'd got lost on his way and asking them to give him food and wine. After the supper, instead of thanks, he rather shames the monks for spending their lives away, while the townsfolk keep on drowning themselves in debauchery and vice. The guest's speech sounds offensive, but the abbot sees the point and suggests that he makes a trip to the town himself.

The monks wait for the old man for three months. He returns silent and morose, then spends the next seven days fasting, playing the organ and crying. Back from his cell, he tells them the appalling story of the sin raging in the town, its people indulging in all manner of pleasures, drinking wine, visiting brothels, watching lustful harlots dancing on tables. Unfortunately, one of his bouts of inspiration hits him and the monks are transfixed. Having described the charms of evil, the old man curses the devil and departs to shut himself up in his cell. When he comes out in the morning, there is not a monk left in the monastery; they had all fled to the town.

The narrative takes up where "Gooseberries" left off. Prompted by the story of the cook Nikanor, a violent character and a drunkard, whom a nice and beautiful woman called Pelageya is in love with, Alyokhin starts to relate to his companions Burkin and Ivan Ivanovich the story of his own unhappy love.

...Upon leaving the university, he settles in the estate that he'd inherited from his father, and starts working hard so as to pay his debts. He gets elected an honorary justice of the peace and starts to go to the town often, enjoying fine, intelligent company. One of his new acquaintances, Dmitry Luganovitch, vice-president of the circuit court, described as a good-natured, simple-hearted middle-aged man, invites him home for dinner. There he meets Luganovich's young wife Anna Alekseyevna, a beautiful, charming and intelligent woman.

Soon Alyokhin discovers that he cannot get her out of his mind, then starts to realize that his feelings are reciprocated. He becomes a regular visitor in the house where he is admired both by the adults and the children. The Luganovichs are very kind to him, offering help and the money, which he is much in need of, but never takes from them.

He and Anna Alekseyevna often meet, go to the theatre together, but never speak about their feelings. Even if quite obsessed with her, Alyokhin realizes that there is not much that he can give her, and is horrified by the possibility of destroying this nice family. She is apparently reasoning in the same way: fancies she is not young enough for him, tied up with the feelings of responsibility for her two children.

As the years pass by, Anna Alexeyevna starts to suffer from low spirits, becomes irritable, and starts to receive treatment for neurasthenia. Alyokhin too is depressed and downtrodden in his helplessness. Eventually, Dmitry Luganovich receives the appointment as court chairman to one of Russia's western provinces. Anna Alekseyevna sets for the Crimea, on the advice of her doctor. A crowd of relatives and acquaintances comes to the station to see her off, Alyokhin among them. Finally, in the wagon both break down and confess their love to each other. The train takes off, and they part forever.

When one is in love, one has to get beyond the banal, rational reasoning and start to value love for its own sake, is the moral the narrator arrives at.

After the death of their father, two sons and their mother face trials and explore new beginnings.

Aza Holmes is a 16-year-old high school student living in Indianapolis who struggles with OCD, which often manifests as a fear of the human microbiome. Constantly worried about infection, particularly by ''C. diff'', she repeatedly opens a never-fully-healed callus on her finger in an effort to drain out what she believes are pathogens. Throughout the book, Aza is accompanied by two close friends: Mychal Turner, an aspiring artist, and her best friend Daisy Ramirez, who writes ''Star Wars'' fan fiction.

One day at school Daisy discovers that Russell Pickett, a billionaire construction magnate and the father of one of Aza's old friends, Davis Pickett, has gone missing in the wake of corporate crime investigations. Russell's wife had died years prior, so Russell's disappearance leaves Davis and his brother Noah with no formal guardian. Tempted by the reward of $100,000 for information leading to Pickett's arrest, Daisy takes Aza on a search for the missing billionaire. After canoeing down the White River and sneaking onto the Pickett property, they are caught by a security guard who brings them to meet Davis.

To persuade the two girls to stop pursuing the elder Pickett, Davis gives Aza $100,000 taken from his father's various stashes around the guest house, which she splits with Daisy. After the meeting, Davis and Aza begin dating and, at the same time, Daisy becomes romantically involved with Mychal. As time passes, Aza comes to believe that she cannot overcome her anxiety, preventing her from ever having a normal relationship with Davis. She finds numerous blog posts written by him about his feelings on both his father's disappearance and his relationship with her.

Aza reads Daisy's fan fiction for the first time and discovers that Daisy has been using it as a vent for her frustrations with Aza. She continues to spiral into a panic attack which results in her drinking hand sanitizer and passing out. Their friendship deteriorates, culminating in a heated argument while Aza is driving on the highway that results in a car accident. Aza spends eight days in the hospital, during which she again has a panic attack, due to her fears of ''C. diff'', and drinks sanitizer again, this time being caught by her mother. She recovers and rekindles her friendship with Daisy once she is healed. Aza also begins to improve her abilities to manage her compulsions by practicing exposure and response prevention (ERP) after her experience at the hospital and taking new prescriptions.

At an underground art exhibition inside an unfinished drainage tunnel system off of Pogue's Run that Russell Pickett's company was responsible for, Aza and Daisy go exploring on their own. After noticing the stench of putrefaction emanating from the area they realize that Russell Pickett had run to the very place they were, and suspected that the billionaire had already died. Aza tells Davis of their discovery, and the latter eventually places an anonymous tip to the police. The authorities find the body and confirm its identity.

Given the loss of their parents and home, added to the fact that their father had left his entire fortune to his pet tuatara, Davis and his younger brother Noah decide to relocate to Colorado, where they have rented a house and would be attending schools. As Davis and Aza say their goodbyes, she reflects on the open possibilities of her future.

A young boxer tries to distance himself from his father's criminal past.

While a troubled man goes through a personal crisis, he meets up with his estranged friend in Thailand.

Nono, the son of the best police inspector in the world, would like to be like his father and for this he always ends up getting into trouble. Shortly before his Bar Mitzvah, Nono is sent to his uncle, who has been given the task of getting him back on the right path, but during the train ride he finds himself involved in an exciting adventure.

An old and hungry she-wolf raids a cattle-stall by a winter-hut, which a keeper named Ignat takes care of. She catches what she hopes would be a ewe, but on her way back, recognizes for a pup.

Whitebrow (that's how he's called for a white patch on his head) follows the wolf to her place, to play with her three cubs and spend the next day with them. As the night approaches, the hungry Whitebrow returns home. Here he meets the she-wolf again, who's up there on the stall's roof, ready to jump in. Happy to see her, he barks, jumps on the roof, awakens the dog Agapka, and inadvertently saves an ewe for the second time.

Old man Ignat, who is convinced that it is the pup who for the second night in a row plays havok with the stall's roof, having chosen it as a way of entering the place, expresses a very, very low view on Whitebrow's level of intelligence. Next morning he calls Whitebrow up, smacks him about the ears, and whips him with a twig, repeating: "Go in at the door! Go in at the door!"

Travelling from Odessa and Sevastopol, the narrator on board the steamboat meets a man called Ivan Shamokhin, who tells him a story of his love for a woman named Ariadna Kotlovich. Initially he is just dazzled by her beauty, gracefulness, originality, wit and intelligence; to him she is an epitome of perfection. Gradually he comes to realize that there is vanity and coldness behind her shiny charisma. She loves seeing Shamokhin around, but only because the fact that a young man so attractive and virtuous is so obviously infatuated with her, gives her great pleasure. His attempts at escaping are all in vain: he is now totally under the spell of Ariadna... As seems to be prince Maktuev, "a wealthy man but an utterly insignificant person" whom she had once refused and (as it later turns out) has never been able to forgive herself for that.

Sick of her Russian rural environment and (what she perceives as) poverty, Ariadne runs off to Europe with Lubkov, a married man whose only claim to virtue seems to be his vivaciousness. Torn apart by his hopeless passion and the realization of how perious it could be, Shamohin nevertheless responds to her call and sheepishly joins the couple in Abbazia. Travelling with Ariadna and Lubkov through Southern Europe, he is appalled: the woman he loves is engaged in the life full of lies, where her one and only motivation is to be admired. Shocked by the realization that the woman he loves and the man he despises have been lovers all the way, Shamokhin rushes off and returns to his father's home. After the "unfaithful" Lubkov's departure, though, he is being summoned up by his "forsaken Ariadne". They become physically close and he continues the journey, squandering the money he receives from Russia, where his father by now had mortgaged his estate twice.

Later the narrator meets the couple in Yalta. It transpires that the only reason for Ariadna's decision to return to Russia was the fact that prince Maktuyev was there. Shamokhin (who is now is virtually broke) is rapturous: "Oh, Lord... If she hits it off with the prince, it means freedom, then I can go back to the country with my father!"

Lydia Volchaninova, a good-looking, but very stern and opinionated young teacher with somewhat dictatorial inclinations is deeply engaged in the affairs of the local zemstvo. Devoted to the cause of helping peasants, she is interested in doing and speaking of nothing but practical work, mostly in the fields of medicine and education. Lydia dislikes the protagonist, a landscape painter, who frequently visits their house. From time to time the two clash over problems of both the rural community and Russia as a whole.

The painter discovers a kindred spirit in Lydia's younger sister Zhenya, a dreamy and sensitive girl who spends her time reading, admiring him painting and having long walks. The two fall in love, and an evening comes when, after a walk, the painter lets his feelings out in a passionate outburst. Zhenya responds in kind, but feels she has to tell her mother and sister about their love immediately.

The following day he learns that Zhenya and her mother had departed. A boy hands him a note from Znenya, which reads: "I have told my sister everything and she insists on my parting from you. I could not hurt her by disobeying. God will give you happiness. If you knew how bitterly mamma and I have cried." The painter leaves the place too. The last glimpse of hope to fill his lonely life with any kind of meaning is now gone, and the person who robbed him of it was Lydia, the one who cared for nothing but bettering other people's lives. Time passes, but he cannot forget Zhenya and deep in his heart knows she still thinks of him, too.

Quotes

• "In my opinion medical stations, schools, libraries, pharmacies, under existing conditions, only lead to slavery. The masses are caught in a vast chain : you do not cut it but only add new links to it ... You come to their assistance with hospitals and schools, but you do not free them from their fetters; on the contrary, you enslave them even more, since by introducing new prejudices into their lives, you increase the number of their demands." (Painter)
• " People generally talk like that... when they want to excuse their indifference. It is easier to deny hospitals and schools than to come and teach... We shall never agree, since I value the most imperfect library or pharmacy, of which you spoke so scornfully just now, more than all the landscapes in the world." (Lydia)

A young lawyer (who remains unnamed), going to the village Dyuyevka on business, arrives late to the station, and a man he'd met in the carriage, a retired Cossack officer named Zhmukhin, invites him to stay for the night in his house. Zhmukhin, a man prone to philosophizing, is hospitality itself, but the world of ignorance and backwardness the young man finds himself at the farm, is so unbearable that he stays awake all night and departs at sunrise in anger and dismay.

Maria Vasilyevna, a schoolmistress, returns to her village from the town where she'd been collecting her meager salary (21 rubles, although local folks consider her grossly overpaid: "5 rubles would be more than enough"). The road is as muddy, difficult and seemingly endless as her 13 years in this horrible place have been. At one point, while crossing the river, the cart all but overturns, and she gets knee-deep in icy water. At another she stops for tea in a local tavern full of drunken lout, some of them outright abusive.

She meets the local landlord Khanov, once good-looking, but now a miserable, dreary man and, apparently, already an alcoholic. She imagines him to be a kindred spirit, but could they ever become partners? No, she has to admit: this horrible life has killed in her all attractiveness, almost stripped her of femininity. In a haze, she tries to remember details of her earlier life, but almost all of it has been erased by the years of hard, thankless and, in the end, meaningless labour. At a railway barrier, watching the train passing by, she sees in it a woman who looks very much like her late mother.

She bursts into tears, then Khanov again drives up, and suddenly, seeing him she imagines "...happiness such as she had never had". She smiles to him as an equal and a friend, and it seems to her that "...her happiness, her triumph, [is] glowing in the sky and on all sides, in the windows and on the trees. Her father and mother had never died, she had never been a schoolmistress, it was a long, tedious, strange dream, and now she had awakened..." He invites her up into his cart in a nonchalant, almost dismissive way, and... the vision disappears. Again she is alone in the world of hopelessness.

The story, narrated by Burkin, a gymnasium teacher, to his friend Ivan Ivanych Chimsha-Gimalayski after a long day spent hunting in the countryside, tells the story of his colleague Belikov, a teacher of Greek and the antagonist of the story.

Suffering from paranoia (he wears a pair of galoshes and a heavy coat even in the warmest weather) Belikov clings to official regulations and insists that others do so as well, being suspicious and wary of everything, because "one can never tell what harm might come from it". He terrorizes not only his school, but the whole town with his petty demands, protests against all sorts of real or imagined disorder. Everybody is scared of this man whose habit is visiting people and sitting silent for an hour by way of "maintaining good relations with his colleagues".

Then a new teacher named Mikhail Kovalenko is assigned to Belikov's school, and he brings with him his lively and cheerful sister Varenka. Instantly all the ladies at school decide that Belikov should marry her, and she seems not to mind. Belikov, like everybody else, is fascinated with this woman who arrives at the scene 'like Aphrodite', but is dogged by his usual fear of some unforeseen complications.

Things start to get wrong for Belikov when somebody draws a caricature of him in galoshes, with Varenka on his arm. By this he is horrified and totally thrown off his balance. Then one day he spots Varenka and her brother, cycling. Disgusted and frightened with how low teachers can fall in giving bad examples to pupils, he goes to visit Kovalenko to warn him of dire consequences of such behaviour. The latter tells him off, calling him 'a sneak', and, after Belikov threatens to report on him to the school authorities, promptly sends him rolling down the stairs. Belikov lands safely at the bottom, but, by chance, Varenka is there and, finding the scene terribly funny, she bursts with wild laughter. Belikov returns home, removes the portrait of his beloved from the table, goes to bed, falls ill and in a month's time, dies.

The teachers return from the cemetery in a good humour, hoping that things will now start to change for the better, but life goes on "...as in the past, as gloomy, oppressive, and senseless—a life not forbidden by government prohibition, but not fully permitted, either", according to Burkin.

Timid student Abigail returns to school after spending months in a psych ward. She is taunted for her odd mannerisms, often adopting the traits of characters from the books she reads, prompting her peers to nickname her “Sybil”. The tough and promiscuous cheerleader Melissa and her friend Sophie, take advantage of Abigail’s meekness and mock her for being mentally ill, with only Sophie’s friend Ellie showing kindness to Abigail.

At the start of the year, substitute teacher, Jeremy Woods, decides to make the class learn The Crucible for their upcoming showcase. Both Abigail and Melissa take a liking to him and begin to rival for his attention, with Abigail in favor when Jeremy picks her to play Abigail Williams. Meanwhile, Jeremy’s girlfriend Jennifer urges him to take on a new job, feeling he is unfit for teaching but he rebuffs her attempts, stating that he enjoys being a teacher.

Melissa purposefully causes trouble by telling Sophie that her crush, Eric, has volunteered to read as John Proctor with Abigail, making it seem as if Abigail likes him, too. Despite these lies, Melissa makes Eric skip class with her to humiliate Abigail and to have sex with him. Jeremy steps in to read with Abigail and notices her talent for acting. Melissa and Sophie call Abigail a “slut”, with Ellie questioning them about why they’re even upset with her, the two girls in turn accusing her of having a crush on Abigail, causing her to leave upset.

Melissa continues to attempt to get Jeremy’s attention, but he only looks to Abigail when he asks her to assist him with the showcase. Ellie, who has been spending her lunch period in the auditorium, listens to Jeremy and Abigail’s conversations and writes about them. Abigail confides to Jeremy that she’s lonely and ostracized, which is why she appreciates his company. Melissa becomes intimidated by Abigail’s new confidence and locks her in the auditorium after school with the help of Eric and Sophie. Jeremy finds her in there and offers to drive her home. He tells her that she should not care about them and their immaturity. Jeremy comes home to find Jennifer there, who tells him that he missed the meeting she had set up for him for a new job. He brushes it off but she chastises him and expresses her dissatisfaction with his behavior. Amidst Melissa’s prank, Jeremy announces that he will be taking on the role of John Proctor and will read with Abigail.

Melissa and Sophie go over to hang out with Eric and their friend TJ to drink and do drugs. Sophie and Eric have sex in the bathroom but Sophie throws up and ends the night with awkward tension between the two of them, Eric ignoring her for days after. At school, Melissa taunts Abigail in front of the class when Jeremy steps out, accusing her of being inappropriate with him. Abigail tells her to shut up and throws Melissa’s belongings to the floor, proceeding to act terrified once Jeremy comes back and framing Melissa as the aggressor. The rest of the class, in shock, do not speak up for Melissa when Jeremy sends her to the office.

While rehearsing in the auditorium, Abigail and Jeremy share a passionate kiss but are interrupted by someone slamming the door shut, revealed to be Ellie who is stunned by the event. Sophie confides in Ellie about what happened between her and Eric and tells her she wants to be a better friend and the two reconcile. While studying, Sophie sees Ellie’s diary page that states that Abigail and Jeremy kissed and tells Melissa, who is enraged. Jeremy, while having sex with Jennifer, imagines it is instead Abigail. Feeling guilty, he distances himself from Abigail, making her anxious.

At the school dance, Sophie tells Ellie that she knows about the kiss and that they should tell the school but Ellie states that she knows Sophie and Melissa are feigning concern because of Melissa’s jealousy. Infuriated, Melissa insults Ellie. After the dance, Melissa is caught taking suggestive photos in her lingerie by her stepfather and leaves to spend the night at Sophie’s. Planning to continue to make Abigail jealous, Melissa forces herself onto Jeremy, who angrily pushes her away. She then makes sure Abigail sees them walk out of the same room. Melissa later finds Abigail’s cross necklace and confronts her wearing it. Abigail takes the necklace back and storms off.

Seeing as Abigail will be absent for the play, Melissa begins to rehearse as her understudy. Just before she is set to go out on stage, Ellie finds Abigail, who is already dressed in costume and walks out before Melissa can realize. Enraged, Melissa heads to the office to frame Jeremy for sexually assaulting her. As the play goes on and Abigail’s and Jeremy’s real feelings come into play, Abigail storms off and accuses Jeremy of choosing Melissa over her. He reassures her that nothing happened between him and Melissa and drives her home. While in the front office, the authorities and Melissa’s stepfather arrive to question her. As she goes on, she mentions that she’s been hit and sexually abused by him for years. Realizing that she is no longer making up a story about Jeremy, Melissa cries and screams as her stepfather tries to take her away and the police force him to leave.

Some time after, supposedly a few months, Melissa arrives at school, appearing to be a much more natural and conscious version of herself than her former tough demeanor. She makes eye contact with Abigail through the doors and both girls silently acknowledge each other.

Ivan Ivanovich Chimsha-Gimalayski, a veterinary surgeon, tells the story of his younger brother Nikolai Ivanovich. An official at the Exchequer Court, the latter became obsessed with the idea of returning to the country where he and his brother had spent their happy childhood. The symbol of this fantasies for some reason, became a gooseberry bush. Finally his dream came true. He bought himself a farm and became a landowner. Ivan Ivanovich tells how he visited Nikolai, and how depressing it was for him to see this apparently happy man, now fat and flabby, living in what he imagined to be his earthly paradise, referring to himself as 'we, noblemen' and experiencing sheer delight which brings tears to his eyes, when his cook, as fat and pig-like as he is, delivers him a plateful of gooseberries. All this makes Ivan Ivanovich think about the nature of human happiness, which for him is very much the result of any happy man's unawareness of how much grief and pain is there behind the walls of the narrow world he'd built for himself.

Quote

"And such a state of things is evidently necessary; obviously the happy man is at ease only because the unhappy ones bear their burdens in silence, and if there were not this silence, happiness would be impossible. It is a general hypnosis. Behind the door of every contented, happy man there ought to be someone standing with a little hammer and continually reminding him with a knock that there are unhappy people, that however happy he may be, life will sooner or later show him its claws, and trouble will come to him-illness, poverty, losses, and then no one will see or hear him, just as now he neither sees nor hears others. But there is no man with a hammer. The happy man lives at his ease, faintly fluttered by small daily cares, like an aspen in the wind-and all is well." (Ivan Ivanovich).

Doctor Dmitry Ionovich Startsev comes to the provincial town S., to work for the local zemstvo. He starts visiting the Turkin family, considered to be the pride of the town, where the husband runs a small amateur theatre, the wife writes novels and their beautiful daughter Ekaterina (known informally as Kotik, which means Kittie) plays the piano, preparing herself for the conservatory. Unlike the majority of the townsfolk, Startsev does not take this acme of the local cultural life seriously, yet Kotik, full of charm, naivety and youthful spirits, easily conquers his heart. Before making the proposal, he even takes a midnight trip to the town's old graveyardThe exact meeting place was supposed to be the so-called Demetti Monument: this detail points to Taganrog as being the Town S. where she'd jovially made a mock appointment with him, and even finds this silly adventure delightful. She is full of ambitions, though, and refuses him. For three days Startsev suffers greatly, then learns that she indeed had departed from the town to enroll into the conservatory, settles down into normalcy and soon all but forgets her, remembering his momentary madness with mild amusement.

Four years on, and Startsev is now a respected medical man, who owns a troika. Ekaterina returns to the town. She looks better than ever, and her musical ambitions are left behind. Still, the naivety and freshness are gone. As the two meet, she eagerly tries to re-awaken his interest in her, but Startsev remains unresponsive. Now everything about the family irritates him and he is very glad he'd not married. Ignoring her insistent attempts at making him again regular visitor, he never sets foot in the Turkin's house again.

Several more years pass. Startsev now is a rich man with vast practice, whose only enjoyments are playing Vint and collecting money from patients. In his troika, shouting at cabmen around him, he looks like a 'pagan god'. Owning two houses and an estate, he is now fat, irascible, and generally indifferent to the world around him. People refer to him as 'Ionych', which implies a mixture of familiarity and slight contempt. And the Turkins are the same as they were years before: the husband runs a little theatre, entertaining his guests with well-rehearsed humour, the wife reads aloud her novels, and Ekaterina still likes to play her piano very loud. It's just that she looks now much older and, her health deteriorating, each autumn takes a trip to the Crimea.

Korolyov, a young doctor, visits the house of Lyalikov, a recently deceased factory owner, to attend to the heiress, twenty-year old Liza, who has heart problems. The factory looks threatening, and Korolyov begins to construct a picture of it in his mind as the Devil's abode. He can't help but think of the unspeakable suffering that lurks behind these dark walls. The owners' house, surrounded by workshops and apparently run by the governess, looks equally unpleasant to him.

Korolyov finds nothing serious with Liza, her tachyarrhythmia caused, apparently, by anxiety, related to the feelings similar to those he himself has been overpowered with. Speaking of how lonely, lost and scared she is in this place, she mentions seeing 'the Devil where there is none', then bursts into crying. Korolyov is tempted to tell Liza that she'd better break free from this horrid place, but does not know how to. Yet the two seem to develop a kind of inner understanding. The next day she comes out of the house dressed in white, to see him off. She looks as if she wants to tell him something important, but does not know how to. Korolyov departs, leaving all of his dark thoughts behind, feeling inexplicably, almost happy.

Quote

"One is shy of asking men under sentence what they have been sentenced for; and in the same way it is awkward to ask very rich people what they want so much money for, why they make such a poor use of their wealth, why they don't give it up, even when they see in it their unhappiness; and if they begin a conversation about it themselves, it is usually embarrassing, awkward, and long.
'How is one to say it?' Korolyov wondered. 'And is it necessary to speak?' "

Doctor Starchenko and Lyzhin, a young deputy examining magistrate, arrive at Syrnya to attend to the case of Lesnitsky, an insurance agent, who, upon arrival to the village three days before, entered the local zemstvo house, ordered himself a samovar, unpacked his food packets, and then all of as sudden shot himself. The suicide was so bizarre, that the inquest was deemed to be necessary.

Starchenko and Lyzhin spend some time at the house, discussing the possible reasons for this tragedy, as well as the way the whole phenomenon of suicide has turned into something ludicrously absurd during the last decades, while the dead body lies in the next room. The doctor then departs to spend the night at the house of Von Taunits, a local minor landlord. Staying in, the magistrate, to kill the time, talks with the local constable Loshadin, a pathetic, lost kind of soul. He is getting more and more depressed with the whole picture of the wilderness of the Russian province, next to which the two major cities, Moscow and St Petersburg, feel like another planet. Suddenly he remembers that he had once met Lesnitsky, at one of the zemstvo meetings, and the image of this good-looking, emotionally deeply troubled man, haunts him for a long time.

Later in the evening Starchenko returns to take Lyzhin to the Von Taunits'. Again the young man is shocked, now by the sharp contrast between this brightly lit, merry place where modern people dance, chat, play piano an enjoy fine food, apparently totally detached from the unfathomable secrets of the threatening outside world, there the blizzard rages... In bed, unable to sleep, he starts to form an idea. According to it, no matter how disjointed and absurd the picture of life in general seems to be, somewhere deep within it amounts to the compact whole, where details, closely united, constitute one single puzzle, in which any single event, no matter how unrelated to all others and alien to common sense as such it seems to be, profoundly affects the whole.

Pyotr, the Bishop at the Staro-Petrovski Convent feels weak and unwell. During the evening service, on the eve of Palm Sunday, while distributing the palm, he sees in the crowd a woman who looks like his mother whom he had not seen for nine years. For no particular reason tears start flowing from his eyes... Tired and in a kind of haze, he returns to his monastery bedroom, then learns from Father Sysoi, a lay brother, that his mother indeed had come to visit him, bringing with her Katya, an eight-year old niece. This brings him great joy, he spends the night in reveries... But he is unable to sleep also because his conditions worsens, and he seems to be in a fever.

Meeting the mother and a child, Pyotr feels happy and elated, but strange feeling creeps in: it seems as if the old woman is too timid, too respectful in his presence, while feeling apparently totally relaxed and merry while chatting with the old Sysoi. During the next several days Pyotr is very busy: he officiates at the cathedral in the city, goes to the diocesan bishop's, then sees a general's wife who is very ill... And increasingly all these things he is engaged in, seem to him increasingly insignificant. Succumbing to the illness, he gets more and more annoyed with the people around him, none of whom he feels able to talk to. He is overcome with an irrational longing to be abroad.

Another sleepless night passes by. In the morning Pyotr begins to have hemorrhage from the bowels. Sysoi rushes for a doctor, who recognizes typhoid. After an hour of bleeding, Pyotr grows thin and pale, feeling "...as if everything that had occurred before this had been left far, far behind, and would never happen again." "My little son, why do you look like this?" his frightened mother keeps repeating, but he is unable to gives her an answer. Endless hours drag slowly by. On the Saturday morning, a day before Easter Sunday, Pyotr dies.

A month later a new bishop arrives in the town and everybody forgets about the deceased one. His mother departs to a remote little town to live with her son-in-law. Occasionally, when "...she goes out at night to bring her cow in and meets other women at the pasture, [she] begins talking of her children and her grandchildren, and says that she had a son a bishop, and this she says timidly, afraid that she may not be believed... And, indeed, there are some who do not believe her."

Nadya Shumina, a provincial 23-year-old, living on her grandmother's estate with her mother, is engaged to be married to Andrey Andreyevich, the son of a local priest. Her fiancé is a pleasant but shallow, unmotivated man who does nothing but play violin. Nadya likes him, but as their wedding date approaches she feels unhappy. She thinks often of Sasha, a distant relative with a serious illness who is staying with Nadya's family to "rest and recover," as he does every year.

Sasha often speaks candidly to Nadya, imploring her to turn her "life upside down." He criticizes her wealthy, idle life, pointing out that neither her, her family, nor her fiancé do any work, and live off the work of others. He describes this as "immoral" and "eating up someone [else's] life." He tells her she should go to Petersburg, where there are interesting and enlightened people, and study at the University.

When Nadya goes with Andrey Andreitch to see the house that is being prepared for the couple, she despises everything about it, feeling it represents "stupid, naïve, unbearable vulgarity." It becomes clear to her that she never loved her fiancé. She begins to see her mother as a weak, unhappy person, completely dependent on the charity of her mother-in-law, and does not want to follow in her footsteps.

Finally, shortly before the planned wedding date, Nadya decides to break all conventions and run away. When Nadya tells Sasha her decision, he is overjoyed, and they make plans for her secret departure. When Sasha leaves to take the train to Moscow, Nadya accompanies him to the station under the pretense of seeing him off, and then takes the train herself to Petersburg. Afterward she sends her family a telegram to tell them what she has done.

While at university, Nadya receives kind letters from home: it seems that her mother and grandmother have forgiven her. She misses them, and feels homesick.

After finishing her final examinations in May she goes home, and visits Sasha in Moscow on the way there. When she sees Sasha she notices the slovenly state of his room and clothing, and he seems to her less novel and cultured than she had previously imagined. He coughs, and appears very ill. She tells him she is indebted to him, and calls him her "nearest and dearest."

When Nadya arrives home, the houses, her mother, and her grandmother all seem older to her. Because of the way Nadya broke her engagement, her family's social status has decreased, her mother and grandmother are afraid to go outside in case they encounter Andrey Andreitch or his father, and Nadya is taunted by the neighbour's children. Nadya longs to return to Petersburg.

Later in the summer, they learn that Sasha has died of tuberculosis. Nadya reflects that her life had indeed been turned upside down as Sasha wished.

The story ends on an uncertain note: Nadya packs up her things, says goodbye to her family, and "full of life and high spirits [leaves] the town—as she supposed, forever."

''Space Funeral'' begins with Philip, a perpetually crying pajama-clad purple boy, seeing a wizard in Scum Vullage [sic] who tells him that his world has been "corrupted" and it does not have long left. The wizard states that the only hope for survival is to find the City of Forms, a perfect city from which all things in the game's world originates. Philip departs the village, and soon meets up with Leg Horse, a horse made of severed legs who is later revealed to have formerly been Prince Horace, the prince of ''Space Funeral'''s world. The player eventually passes through the Blood Cavern, a cave housing the game's first boss, the Blood Ghoul, and arrives in the City of Thieves, a city home to a vast array of criminals (who, humorously, have a strong weakness to bibles).

It is eventually learned upon visiting Leg Horse's former home that he was once "Prince Horrace", the ruler of the game prior to the "Great Change". It is then explained that Leg Horse's brother has been corrupt as well, and the group is ambushed by "20th Century Boy", the corrupt version of Leg Horse's brother.

Philip notices that certain objects appear as graphical glitches, which the denizens of the world are cognizant of and call "errors", but do not remember what they once were before the "Great Change". Once players defeat the King of Crime, they make their way to the City of Forms, which is intensely glitched, and resembles a video game debug room, with the "forms" referring to the game's sprites. There, they discover Moon, a former artist who sought out the City first in order to be inspired, but realized that it was so perfect that she no longer had any more purpose as an artist, so she decided to corrupt the world to allow her to create again.

Upon defeating Moon, the game is restored to the default appearance of an RPG Maker game, and the characters return to their normal selves, implying that its former appearance was the result of the corruption inflicted upon it by Moon. However, a corrupted house from the original world still remains there, implying that it is not completely gone.

In July 1969, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D–MA) is asked in an interview how it feels to stand in the shadow of his dead brothers John and Bobby. Then he phones his cousin Joe Gargan and tells him to book hotel rooms on Martha's Vineyard for the Boiler Room Girls, who worked for Bobby's presidential campaign. He travels to Chappaquiddick Island, where he meets Gargan and Paul Markham for a sailboat race. After losing, Kennedy goes to a party at a cottage with five friends and six Boiler Room Girls.

Kennedy leaves the party with Mary Jo Kopechne. On the road, they encounter a police officer, who asks if they need help. Kennedy backs up and drives quickly away. He accidentally drives off the Dike Bridge, causing the car to flip over before it submerges into a pond. Kennedy climbs out of the vehicle, and calls out to Kopechne, but receives no response. He sits down and cries, before walking back to the cottage. He summons Gargan and Markham, and they drive quickly to the bridge. Gargan and Markham attempt multiple times to retrieve Kopechne from the overturned vehicle, but are unable to open any of the doors or windows. They insist Kennedy report the incident immediately, but instead, he gets in a rowing boat, and Gargan and Markham row him to Edgartown, where they go their separate ways.

Kennedy walks past the phone booth outside his hotel and up to his room and gets undressed. He takes a bath, gets dressed, and combs his hair. He goes down to the phone and calls his father Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. for advice. His partially-paralyzed father says one word: "alibi." Kennedy sits on the steps outside his room. He asks the night porter the time, which is 2.25 a.m. Kennedy claims he is having trouble sleeping, but he goes to sleep without contacting the police.

The next morning, the overturned vehicle is discovered by father-and-son fishermen, who call the police. Police Chief Arena and the fire department recover Kopechne's body from the car, which they find is registered to Kennedy. Gargan and Markham realize that he has not reported the accident, and insist again that he must. Kennedy goes with Markham to the Edgartown Police Department and commandeers the Chief's office, waiting for his return.

After giving the Chief a statement written by Markham, Kennedy travels to the family compound in Hyannisport, believing he has contained the situation. He is shocked as his father tells him his actions have disgraced the family and is surprised by a damage control team led by Robert McNamara, convened to address the legal (potential charge of manslaughter) and political consequences. First, they make sure the body is not examined again, and that the official record that his licence has expired is changed by a Kennedy-friendly official. Then they craft a strategy to push the court hearing after the current news cycle, dominated by the landing of the first men on the Moon. Kennedy attends Kopechne's funeral wearing a neck brace to gain sympathy, but this ploy backfires in the press.

Kennedy suggests an appeal to the people of Massachusetts on national television, which his damage control team heartily endorses. They use the family's influence to resolve the court case without a trial, where anything he says publicly could be used against him. Kennedy receives the minimum sentence by pleading guilty to leaving the scene of an accident: two months' jail time, which the judge suspends based on Kennedy's character and good standing.

Gargan, who has become increasingly disgusted with Kennedy for not being honest about the facts of the case and attempting to play the victim, attempts to resign. Kennedy, having just been slapped by his father, tells Gargan he intends to resign from the Senate and asks him to draft a resignation speech. He tells Gargan not to tell anyone.

As Kennedy is ready to go on national television with the speech prepared by Ted Sorensen, designed to elicit public sympathy, Gargan gives Kennedy the resignation speech, telling him it is the right thing to do. But Kennedy throws it away, and Gargan is pressed to hold Kennedy's cue cards for Sorensen's speech. Although the public has mixed views, the majority interviewed say they would re-elect him.

The credits explain that Joseph Kennedy Sr. died soon after the incident; Gargan became estranged from the family; and Kennedy lost the 1980 Democratic Party presidential primaries but continued in the U.S. Senate for another 40 years after the incident.

In the late 21st century, the Solar System is being struck by mysterious power surges, threatening all human life. Major Roy McBride, son of astronaut H. Clifford McBride, believed dead, is informed by U.S. Space Command (SpaceCom) that the surges have been traced to the "Lima Project", created 29 years earlier to search the galaxy for intelligent life, under Clifford's leadership. Nothing has been heard from the Lima crew since reaching Neptune 16 years ago. Told his father may be alive, Roy agrees to travel to Mars from where he can attempt to establish communication with him. Roy is joined by Colonel Pruitt, his father's old associate. Roy, acclaimed for his ability to remain calm under extreme pressure, shows little emotional reaction to his father possibly being alive.

Arriving on the Moon, Roy and Pruitt are then escorted by U.S. military personnel to the SpaceCom base, located in a disputed war zone on the Moon's far side. En route in lunar rovers, scavenger pirates ambush them and kill the escorts. Roy and Pruitt make it to the base, but Pruitt suffers cardiac problems and remains behind. He gives Roy a classified message stating that if Roy fails to contact his father, then the Lima Project station will have to be destroyed. As Roy travels to Mars aboard ''Cepheus'', a distress signal is received from a Norwegian biomedical research space station. Captain Tanner insists they must investigate, overriding Roy's protests that the mission takes precedence and other ships can respond. The station appears to be abandoned. Tanner and Roy split up to investigate; Roy discovers an escaped baboon attacking Tanner. Roy kills it and then a second baboon. Tanner dies from his injuries, but Roy shows little emotion. In a psychological evaluation, he admits to experiencing rage and recalls his father expressing his own rage.

Another surge hits as the ''Cepheus'' is attempting to land on Mars. Roy assumes command and calmly lands the ship after the acting captain/pilot is overcome with fear. In the underground SpaceCom base, Roy meets facility director Helen Lantos. He is told to record voice messages to send to the Lima Project in hopes that Clifford will respond. After receiving no response from their first message, the crew sends another, during which Roy goes off-script with an emotional appeal to his father. Clifford responds, though Roy is prevented from hearing the message. SpaceCom plans a mission to the Lima Project station but refuses to allow Roy to participate, believing his personal connection poses a risk. Roy's demand to hear the response is ignored and he is summarily removed to a "comfort room."

While sequestered, Roy is visited by Lantos, who reveals that both her parents were Lima Project team members. She shows Roy classified footage revealing that Clifford's team mutinied and attempted to return to Earth, causing him to shut off their life-support systems; her parents were among those killed. She tells Roy that the ''Cepheus'' will go to the Lima Project station to destroy it with a nuclear weapon. The two decide that Roy should confront Clifford, and Lantos helps Roy gain access to the rocket launch site.

Roy climbs aboard as the rocket takes off and is immediately discovered by the crew, who are instructed to neutralize him at any cost. The crew is unintentionally killed in the confrontation. During the 79-day journey to Neptune, a solitary Roy reflects on his relationship with his father and with his estranged wife, Eve. The mission's isolation and stress take a mental toll. While approaching the Lima Project station in a shuttle attached to the ''Cepheus'', the shuttle is damaged in a collision with objects in Neptune's rings during another surge and is unable to dock with the station. Roy enters the station via a spacewalk while the shuttle drifts away. Finding the crew's dead bodies inside, he plants the nuclear weapon before encountering Clifford, the station's sole survivor. Clifford explains that the surges are coming from the ship's malfunctioning antimatter power source, which was damaged in the mutiny. Clifford reveals to Roy that there is no extraterrestrial life out there, and human beings are alone in this universe. Clifford admits to Roy that he never really cared about his family and does not consider Earth his home.

Roy copies data gathered by the Lima Project team and persuades Clifford to accompany him back to Earth. He arms the bomb and they climb out on the station's outer hull to return to the ''Cepheus''. Clifford suddenly launches them into space using his spacesuit's thrusters. Clifford pleads for Roy to untether him; Roy reluctantly does so and watches his father drift away into space. Roy propels himself back to the ''Cepheus'' using his own spacesuit. Without enough fuel to return home, Roy relies on the shock wave from the nuclear explosion in the station to propel the ''Cepheus''. The data retrieved from the Lima Project base suggest that humans are the only intelligent life in the galaxy. Roy is inspired to reconnect with those closest to him and he returns to Earth with a newfound optimism. After expressing his opinions in a psychological evaluation, he re-joins his wife.

In the small English town of Blackmoor, a congress is being held by the "Millionaires' Association". In order to guarantee the well-heeled participants' safety, numerous private detectives are hired as security guarantors. Despite this massive protective presence, a clever gang of crooks who call themselves "The Night Ghost" manage to break into the hotel safe and steal considerable sums of money. This now calls the bright maid Trixie into action, who loves to devour crime novels and was just waiting to finally experience an exciting adventure herself.

Trixie immediately gets to work and does some research on her own. She is joined by a young up-and-coming author who has already achieved some fame as a crime novelist, Conny Cooper. In fact, the two track down the thieves, and finally they manage to break up the gang and put their members, including the somewhat dumb guys Ladislaus and Gustav, under lock and key.

While Edwin is more sensitive and quiet, Flake is impulsive and explosive emotionally. There is extreme pressure on both of them, with faculty members and their own parents making assumptions that they are the ones at fault. In truth, the boys are both being bullied and the "fights" are one-sided. Edwin's parents, his father in particular, generally dismiss every remark he makes as petty teenage angst, and only start showing concern when the vice principal of the school invites them for a meeting. During an afterschool hangout at Flake's home, he shows Edwin his father's gun collection, floats the idea to shoot up their school, and Edwin reluctantly agrees out of loyalty to his childhood friend.

While developing the plan, Edwin's artistic ability is noticed by his art teacher, who later encourages him to join an art project to enter a competition. He is approached by two classmate girls who tell him they heard that he had art skills and they wanted him on their team, which he reacts to with a small smile, though Flake, by his side, mocks the girls.

When Flake unsuccessfully threatens Budzinski to stop, Budzinski targets Herman even more.

Olga, a stay at home mother in her late 30s, is told by her husband Mario that he is leaving her and their two children. Initially, Olga believes that Mario is not serious, but she soon realizes he has left her for another woman. The end to the marriage of 15 years creates a profound internal crisis for Olga. She has to work again and gets the job of finishing and translating an unfinished novel.

After discovering that the other woman Mario is having an affair with is the daughter of one of his colleagues, whom he met when she was fifteen, Olga begins to have a breakdown. She attacks Mario and his new girlfriend Carla when she meets them in the street. Afterwards, Olga begins a long introspective journey to analyze the years with her husband, to find errors and gaps that could have created his desire to leave. The sad reality soon emerges: Mario is simply in love with another woman.

Olga, therefore, completely abandons her sadness, risking losing herself and her life. Her responsibilities multiply against her: there are two children to care for, a house to maintain, and a dog to look after. Ordinary actions, the basic precautions of a mother, begin to alienate her and make it impossible to continue. Her past and her childhood fears return to torment her, together with the idea that a woman without love, without a man, can't survive. She grows vulgar in mind and gesture, as a relief from unbearable pain. Olga tries to seduce a neighbour, but it goes terribly. Though they attempt to have sex, they are eventually forced to give up when he cannot sustain an erection.

One day in August, Olga's son Gianni contracts a fever while her dog begins to be sick. She fears he is poisoned. Her younger daughter, Ilaria, can't understand her emotional state, just annoys her and is whiny. Otto, Olga's dog, starts to show signs of physical suffering from poisoning, like her son. Olga accidentally jams the key in the lock and realizes that she cannot call for help as her phone line is down and her cellphone is broken. Due to the summer holidays the apartment building she lives in is virtually empty. She finds herself completely unable to focus but eventually pulls out of it and, when her downstairs neighbor comes by to check on her, is able to open the door herself.

Olga's son is fine, though her dog dies. Through this situation, she comes to understand that she has the means and strength necessary to control her own life. Helped by her neighbour, Aldo Carrano, Olga resolves each problem and begins that day to fight to restore the pieces of herself, to care again for her son and daughter, and to recreate civil bonds with her now-ex-husband. She eventually rebuilds her life, arranging for joint custody with Mario. Though her friends try to set her up with men, she shies away from them. One of her friends invites her to a concert where she sees her downstairs neighbour playing in the orchestra. Realizing that perhaps she has misjudged him, she contacts him again and the two attempt a relationship.

He later attends Detroit's art exhibit and artistic performance uninvited, at which she uses a white voice of her own. When Cash is escorted through the union's picket line one morning, a picketer wounds him with a can of soda. Footage of the incident becomes an Internet meme.

Cash is invited to a party with WorryFree CEO Steve Lift, where he is goaded into rapping for the predominantly white guests. In a private meeting, Lift offers Cash a powdered substance which Cash snorts, believing it is cocaine. Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers shackled half-horse, half-human hybrids who beg him for help. Lift explains that WorryFree plans to make their workers stronger, more obedient, and thus more profitable by transforming them into hybrid "Equisapiens" through snorting a gene-modifying powder. Cash fears that he just ingested the substance, but Lift assures him it was cocaine. Cash refuses an offer of $100 million to become an Equisapien for five years and act as a false revolutionary figure to keep the employees in line.

Cash discovers he dropped his phone when he encountered the Equisapiens, who recorded a plea for help and sent it to Detroit. Taking advantage of his infamy as a meme, Cash appears on the extremely popular television show ''I Got the Shit Kicked Out of Me'', enduring humiliations and beatings to share the video, and spreads the word about WorryFree's cruelty. The plan backfires: Equisapiens are hailed as a groundbreaking scientific advancement, a cult of personality worshipping Lift develops, and WorryFree's stock reaches an all-time high.

Cash apologizes to Squeeze, Sal, and Detroit, and rallies the union in a final stand against RegalView. He uses a security code from the Equisapien's video to break into Lift's home. He goes to the picket line, where the police start a riot and detain Cash, but the Equisapiens overpower them and free Cash. Detroit and Cash reconcile and later move back into Sergio's garage. Cash suddenly starts to grow horse nostrils. Later, fully transformed, he leads a mob of Equisapiens to Lift's house and breaks down the door.

The story centers on "Chronos Rulers," those who fight the time-eating demons that appear when people wish they could turn back time. The Chronos Rulers fight a time-manipulation battle against these demons.

Lynn, a top secondary school student living with her father, is accepted into a prestigious school, earning a scholarship for her academic achievements. There, she is befriended by the good-natured but academically challenged Grace. Lynn begins to help Grace cheat in exams after finding out that their teacher has been leaking questions in private tutoring sessions. She is then approached by Grace's rich boyfriend Pat, who offers payment in exchange for also helping him and his friends. Although at first reluctant, Lynn agrees when she finds out that the school, despite her scholarship, collected extra fees from her father, who earns a modest income as a teacher. She devises a system of hand signals, based on certain piano pieces, and uses them to send answers during exams. Her base of clients eventually grows. However, her cheating is inadvertently revealed by Bank, another top student. She is reprimanded by her father, and also by the school, which suspends her scholarship and revokes her chance to apply for an international scholarship at university level.

Lynn returns to cheating when Pat and Grace ask her to help them with the STIC—an international standardised test for university admissions—a scheme which will earn them millions of baht. However, Lynn tells them that she can only do it with the help of Bank, who would never consider such dishonesty. Later, though, Bank, who is from a poor family and is staking his future on the same university scholarship, is attacked by thugs in the street and misses the scholarship exam. Lynn then approaches him with the offer and Bank reluctantly agrees. Together, they make preparations for the final operation. Lynn and Bank will fly to Australia in order to get a head start on the exams—which are held globally on the same day—and send back answers for Pat and Grace to distribute to their clients. However, on the eve of their flight, Pat lets slip that it was he who ordered the thugs to beat up Bank, in order to force him to join their scheme. Enraged, Bank attacks Pat and leaves. Lynn, shocked at the revelation, begins reconsidering her actions. However, Bank returns to confront Lynn and tells her to finish what she started.

In Sydney, Lynn and Bank complete the first sections of the test according to plan, but Bank is overcome by anxiety and gets caught. Lynn struggles to memorise the final section herself, but finally pulls through. She is pursued by the test administrator after feigning illness and leaving the test centre early, but is released when Bank denies knowing her. Returning home, Lynn finds that their scheme was a great success, but, broken by the experience, turns her back on her co-conspirators and rejects her share of the money. Some time later, she is approached by Bank, who has invested his share in revamping his mother's laundry business. Bank invites Lynn to start another scheme, this time with a much wider client base—those taking the national GAT/PAT university entrance exams. When she turns him down, Bank threatens to expose the whole affair and that she was the mastermind behind the scheme. Lynn then tells him that she has made her choice, deciding to come clean, tearfully confessing to her father, who comforts her and helps her redeem herself by submitting a formal confession to the STIC organisation.

Robert Wilson (Peter Weller), a middle aged man, awakes in a seemingly abandoned, damaged hospital wearing nothing but a hospital gown. While stumbling through the hospital looking for help, he encounters a living murderous teddy bear and the body of a Dr. Harcourt, who seemed to be an important figure in the hospital. Then Wilson finds a book which seems to contain depictions of supernatural phenomena. He then encounters a group of survivors: Bela Blasco (Alfred Molina), who claims to be a surgeon in the hospital; Elsa Wolcott (Rosario Dawson), a young woman; Kurt Mosby (Michael B. Jordan), who claims to be a visitor in the hospital; and Lucy Holmes, a prepubescent 9 year old girl. Elsa explains that Dr. Harcourt was researching supernatural phenomena and the book contains the result of his research. Bela then notices that Wilson has in his chest, in place of his heart, a strange orb containing moving parts. The group then surmises that the orb must have something to do with the strange phenomena in the hospital and that the book could help fight those phenomena and return Wilson's heart to him. Unfortunately, several pages of the book are missing, having been torn recently.

Shortly after, Wilson loses contact to the others by Shadow Beings and is on his own again. But he notices that he can take the device out of his chest and perform tasks with it, like turning on failing light sources. He also finds more and more missing pages from the book and notices that the more pages he finds, the more tasks his orb is able to perform.

He meets the group again later but shortly after loses contact again. When he later meets Kurt again, Kurt admits that he was a patient in the hospital and is a werewolf, before fleeing again. When Wilson meets Elsa again, she is taken away by a large humanoid monster (That resembles that of Frankenstein's Monster). When Wilson meets Lucy again, he realizes, to his utter shock, that she is a vampire when she murders and drinks the blood of a hospital orderly. She wants the book to no longer look like a young girl, Wilson manages to chase her away.

After stumbling through the hospital and encountering and defeating several creatures like a tentacle monster, the teddy bear, a zombie soldier, a human-fly hybrid, Mutant Fishmen and animated wooden dummies, Wilson is knocked out by the humanoid monster which took away Elsa earlier and wakes up shackled in a large laboratory. There he encounters Elsa who explains that she was the wife and scientific partner of Dr. Harcourt, and that the humanoid monster is in fact her young son named Andy, whose original body had been irreparably damaged by an accident for which Dr. Harcourt was responsible. She had put Andy's brain in a monstrous body to preserve it and now needs Wilson's orb as a new power source for his body, and the book to perform a procedure which will install the orb in Andy's body.

While she is preparing the procedure, Kurt sneaks into the laboratory and tries to free Wilson, but he is prevented from doing so by the full moon, which appears in the window and transforms him into his werewolf form, and he is attacked by Andy. While the two are fighting, Bela sneaks in and tries to free Wilson, just when Lucy in vampire-form flies in. Andy defeats and incapacitates Kurt in werewolf-form and then fights with Lucy, who in turn defeats and incapacitates Andy, just as Bela manages to free Wilson. Wilson manages to stake and kill Lucy before she can bite him. He then manages to reach the book and burn it, just when Andy wakes up. In the chaos, Wilson manages to give Andy an electric shock which overloads his brain, leading him to throw Elsa out of the window. Wilson then manages to stun Andy and puts his orb inside his brain, where it electrocutes Andy.

Later Wilson wakes up in the restored hospital, his heart having been implanted back into his chest. He talks to Bela, who says that the orb and Kurt are missing and that Elsa and Andy's brain have died. Wilson explains that he had been in the hospital to donate his heart to his little brother, who has a family. He makes Bela promise that his brother will never know who had donated the heart.

The game ends with Wilson breathing in the narcotic for the heart transplant operation and falling unconscious.

A post-credits scene shows Kurt meeting a mysterious figure who seems to be part of a group who fights supernatural beings. Kurt hands over the orb to the figure, and requests as a price that the person help him lose his lycanthropy.

They tell Apple Bloom that there is a feud between the Apple and Pear families and that Granny Smith refuses to talk about it.

In fear of Granny Smith becoming upset, the Apple siblings visit Goldie Delicious for more information. Goldie explains that a long time ago, the Apple and Pear families lived near each other and were constantly arguing about who was the better farmer, especially Granny Smith and Grand Pear.

The novel is in the form of a long letter written in prison by condemned murderer Dr. Charles Alavoine. Alavoine wants to explain his personal side of the story to a judge handling his legal case, as his trial did not bring out the true motives for the crime. In the letter, he tries to explain what sort of man he is and how he came to commit his crime.

The son of a brutish peasant farmer in the Vendée and his effacing wife, Alavoine qualified as a physician and bought a practice in the town of La Roche-sur-Yon. After his first wife died in childbirth (leaving behind two daughters), his widowed mother looked after him and his family. He later married the bourgeois Armande, who, with the tact and style he lacked, was soon dominating his home, his medical practice, and indeed all aspects of his life.

Never convinced himself of his role as healer to and pillar of the community, he was easy prey to a young woman named Martine. Alavoine sensed her deeply-hidden pain, even if at first he could not diagnose it. Martine was from Belgium, a drifter, existing on odd secretarial jobs and one-night stands with passing men. Although Martine was neither beautiful nor sophisticated, she and Alavoine instantly enjoyed passionate sex and had an intense desire to be together. Alavoine hired Martine as his medical assistant (with Armande's reluctant agreement) in a scheme to spend time with her. Alavoine became obsessed with learning everything about Martine's past and "cleansing" her of her sins, which he attributes to an "Other" Martine who must be erased. This lasted until Armande caught them in an adulterous act and banished them from the family house. The guilty pair went to Paris, where Alavoine acquired a practice with a flat in a working-class district.

At last able to spend all their time together, their relationship deepened, but in the process exposed the deep psychological flaws in both parties. As he learned how bruised and vulnerable she was from past troubles, Alavoine beat Martine in the name of exorcising his own "phantoms" of jealousy. One night, he decided that the only way to end this descending spiral into depravity was to strangle her. Alavoine claims in retrospect that the act of murder really had the effect of killing Martine's "Other" while allowing the "real" Martine that he created to live on in him.

The last chapter notes briefly that by the time this confession reached its addressee, Alavoine had committed suicide in the prison infirmary.

A week later, Katie disappears, and the other three girls go to her house to look for clues. The three discover that Katie had been involved in the occult and that she had been in contact, online, with a girl who told her how to contact Slender Man.

After talking to the same girl Katie had, the three girls decide to make contact with the Slender Man in an attempt to get Katie back in exchange for something that they love. Wren brings some handmade pottery, Chloe a picture of her and her dad before he died and Hallie brings her little sister Lizzie’s blanket, made by their grandmother.

Suddenly, the window breaks and Wren is wrapped in tree branches, taken by Slender Man. Hallie, realizing that the only way to save Lizzie is to give herself to the Slender Man, sacrifices herself for her sister.

The wealthy and eccentric Tobler, a Geheimrat and owner of various businesses, enters and wins a competition started by one of his businesses. Using the pseudonym, Schlüter, he wins the second prize: a ten-day stay at the luxurious Grand Hotel in Bruckbeuren in the Alps.

The first prize is won by Dr. Fritz Hagedorn, an unemployed copywriter, who lives with his widowed mother and scrapes by on occasional work.

Before claiming the prize, Tobler transforms himself into Schlüter and assumes the persona of a poor man. His intention is to carry out a sociological study. Tobler buys old, worn-out, tattered clothes, and manages to pass himself off as destitute. However, as a Geheimrat, he is both practical and pragmatic, and seeks to assure that he still retains access to his everyday luxuries. Thus, he orders his butler, Johann Kesselhut, to take accommodations at same hotel acting as a wealthy man and forbidden to recognize his master.

Tobler's daughter Hilde does not like the idea, the arrangements, and these plans. She shares her unease with their longtime housekeeper, frau Kunkel, and they decide that Hilde should warn the management of the hotel of her father's plan. But, as a comedy as this is, when Hilde phones the hotel's management, the faulty telephone lines scramble the message. The hotel's management therefore considers the unemployed and destitute copywriter Dr. Hagedorn, the first prize winner, as the wealthy man living in disguise and decide to treat him lavishly. Schlüter, who looks and acts poor, must sleep in a small attic room, without heating, harassed by the staff and used for occasional work. Kesselhut tries to help as much as he can, and ultimately after a few days, decides to inform Hilde. Hagedorn, Schlüter, and Kesselhut nevertheless bond with each other, and Hagedorn and Schlüter become friendly: a young man unaccustomed to luxury shares what he has with the poor, destitute old man.

When Hilde learns how her father is treated, she immediately travels to the hotel in Bruckbeuren with frau Kunkel acting as her aunt. At the Grand Hotel, she is shocked to experience how her father is mistreated. And, she falls in love with Hagedorn, not knowing that he also has a “secret”: poverty. The romance between Hilde and Hagedorn blossoms rapidly to the point that they are planning to marry. Yet, after a few additional days Tobler becomes so disgusted with the daily harassment by the hotel that he cannot take it anymore and rapidly returns to Berlin with his daughter, his butler, and the housekeeper. The sudden departure, with no prior notice or information, leaves Hagedorn confused and saddened.

The lovelorn and depressed Hagedorn returns to Berlin to search for Hilde. Not knowing her true name, he looks for the Schlüter’s. That search is obviously unsuccessful. And, one day to Hagedorn's surprise, he and his mother are invited by to them unknown Tobler for supper.

When they arrive, the whole drama unfolds: the friendship forged between Tobler, Hagedorn, and Kasselhut strengthens. Hilde identifies herself as Tobler's daughter. Tobler then learns that he already owns the grand hotel - he purchased it and sacked management promptly.

A young Englishwoman moves to a French village, close to a university where she is to teach. She befriends a local man, who then introduces her to his friends, as they prepare for a wild pig hunt. During the hunt, three of the men encounter the young woman in an abandoned barn and two of them rape her. In the aftermath, she grabs a rifle from one of them and shoots him, before running off, determined to tell the police. The others, including her friend, track her through woods and farmland, to prevent her reaching safety and informing the police of their attack.

In a Gothic monastery, an ailing monk, Brother Javier, has been acting out with violent emotions. The prior, fearing that he might be possessed by evil spirits, asks a new monk, Brother Juan, to tend to him. When Juan enters Javier's cell, the two recognize each other, and Juan runs out, followed by Javier, who strikes him with a crucifix and retreats back to his cell.

Questioned by the prior, Javier reveals that he and Juan had once been best friends but that Juan had betrayed him. He then relates this story through a flashback. Some time before, Javier is a consumptive composer working on a song. Ana, a young woman who lives in the next house, sings along with him but is forced away from the window by her parents. When a prospective suitor calls on Ana, Javier is please to see that she has driven him away, but she is cast out by her parents. Javier and his mother take Ana in, and Javier eventually proposes marriage.

Javier is happy to see his friend Juan return from a long voyage, but as the two friends and Ana spend time together, Juan seems attracted to Ana while Javier's illness becomes more severe. Apparently recovering, Juan is surprised when Javier tells him that he must go away again and asks Javier one evening to help his lawyer review some business matters. Feeling ill, Javier returns to home early only to find Ana pushing herself away from Juan's embrace. Javier strikes Juan, who pulls out a pistol. When Juan shoots, though, Ana rushes between the two men and is killed. In his monastery cell, Javier concludes his story and asks the prior for absolution. The prior, though, tells Javier that he must seek it from Juan.

Juan also confesses and relates his version of the events described by Juan. He reveals that he and Ana had been in love before she met Javier, but the two were forced to part. Ana is still in love with Juan, but she feels obligated to marry Javier in gratitude for his support of her. When Javier becomes gravely ill, Ana believes that a marriage to him will be a short one, but Javier's apparent recovery leads Juan to plan to go far away from Ana. Sending Javier to his lawyer's office, Juan uses the occasion to see Ana one last time, but he is overcome by his emotions and tries to kiss her. Just then Javier returns, and in Juan's version of the story, it is Javier who accidentally shoots and kills Ana.

Javier, now gravely ill and mentally overcome, runs out of his cell to the monastery's pipe organ, where he plays a dissonant version of the song he had earlier been composing. Turning around, he sees the prior and other monks gathered and envisions them as primitive grosteque figures about to attack him, and he collapses. Juan rushes to him and holds his former friend as Javier dies. The last image is of a cross above the door, suggesting some redemption.

In the characters' past

Storybrooke

With everyone's story now fulfilled, Henry plans on setting out to find his own story by travelling to new realms described in the storybooks found in the Sorcerer's mansion. He explains that he discovered that there's different versions of characters they've already met and know, but that there are no other versions of him. He is unique among all the versions of all the realms and he wants to find his own place among them. Though Regina worries he's too young to be leaving home, he assures her that he will be fine, taking August's motorcycle with him as he uses a magic bean (given to him by Tiny as a graduation present) to open a portal into another realm.

New Enchanted Forest

Years later, as Henry rides through a forest, he narrowly avoids a collision with an oncoming carriage, resulting in the woman inside being thrown to the ground. Realizing he has met this realm's version of Cinderella, he offers her a ride to the ball as an apology. Cinderella, however, knocks him out and takes the motorcycle once she's been shown how it works, with Henry chasing her. At the same time, Lady Tremaine is about to set off for the palace, having clipped the Fairy Godmother's wings and taken her wand. When questioned why she is doing this, she explains to Drizella that magic has no power compared to fear, a point she drives home by destroying the Fairy Godmother.

As Cinderella arrives at the ball, she tries to make her way to the prince, but is confronted by Henry. When pressed why she stole his bike and a dagger of his, she admits that she had an ulterior motive for coming to the ball; she plans on killing the prince, as vengeance for ruining her family and driving her father to an early death. Henry tries to talk her out of it and gives her a hyacinth flower for luck, telling her that he is returning to his own realm at midnight, and that she could start a new life there. Before he can pursue her any further, however, he blacks out and learns that his drink was drugged by Alice, a mysterious woman ordered by Rumpelstiltskin to keep an eye on Henry. Despite her warnings of the dangers of meddling in someone else's story, Henry chooses to stay and help. As Cinderella meets the prince, she pulls out the dagger, but eventually has a change of heart. Unfortunately, Tremaine takes the opportunity to kill him for turning down Drizella, and frames Cinderella for the murder. As the guards close in, Henry breaks out of his trance and helps Cinderella to escape, reiterating his offer and telling her to meet him where her carriage crashed.

After escaping the palace, Henry returns to the carriage and prepares to open a portal, assuming Cinderella has abandoned the idea. Upon discovering one of her glass slippers, however, he takes it as a sign, and chooses to remain in the new realm to undertake "Operation Glass Slipper".

In Seattle

Henry is now making ends meet as freelance cab driver, struggling with writer's block after the failure of his book, Once Upon a Time. When Lucy arrives at his apartment, she tells Henry that she is his daughter and that his family needs him, although Henry refuses to believe her and turns her away. The next day, Jacinda, Lucy's mother, shows up late for work at Cluck's Chicken, but quits when calling out her boss for his bad temper. When she returns to her apartment, she tells her roommate, about having quit her job, but is stunned to find that Lucy has snuck out without her knowledge. In Belfrey Tower, Jacinda's stepmother Victoria grows increasingly irritated with what she sees as Jacinda's irresponsibility, and plans on taking full custody of her granddaughter, all while buying out smaller businesses and raising rent to push the cursed inhabitants out of the neighborhood.

Later on, Henry discovers his laptop missing and finds a note to meet at Roni's Bar to get it back from Lucy. After a brief encounter with a woman named Tilly (Alice from the ball) he goes to Roni's, and is greeted by the eponymous owner, who happens to be Regina with her memories stripped by the curse. Meanwhile, Jacinda finds Lucy at the wishing well in the community garden, who tells her that she found Henry, despite her mother's skepticism. Jacinda then returns the laptop back to Henry, and the two are encouraged by Roni to share a drink. However, Victoria shows up, ready to buy out Roni's bar and to deal with Jacinda, telling her that she'll be taking full custody of Lucy. Henry attempts to defuse the tension between the three, but is warned by Victoria to stay out of her business. Afterwards, Lucy meets him at the garden, and attempts to convince him about the curse, only for Henry to reveal that his wife and child perished in a fire years ago. Finding that his car has been stolen, Henry goes to the nearby police station, and reports it missing to a cursed Killian Jones, who now lives as Officer Rogers with no memories of his past life. In another part of town, Tilly enters an abandoned warehouse to find her boss, Rumpelstiltskin, now living under the cursed identity of Detective Weaver, and informs him of Henry's arrival.

Back at the garden, Lucy is planting seeds around the well, when Jacinda arrives to take her to Bainbridge Island across the sound, so they can be together and escape from Victoria. When they arrive at the town line, Jacinda's car breaks down and the elevator to the docks has been closed, which Lucy believes means they're trapped in Hyperion Heights, much like the residents of Storybrooke were. At the police station, Victoria interrupts Henry and Rogers to ask the officer to help find Lucy and Jacinda, believing that Henry knows something. Victoria's daughter Ivy and Officer Rogers find the pair, who have decided to stay and fight Victoria's claim. As Ivy gives Rogers Lucy's Once Upon a Time book, and insists that it be thrown away, Rogers catches sight of a specific page featuring a picture of Emma Swan.

Later that night, Victoria returns to Roni's with a contract to have Roni sign over the place. Unfortunately, Roni changes her mind and tells Victoria that she is not selling out. Having been inspired by Jacinda's decision, she tells Victoria that she won't be ordered around by her, and this is just the beginning. At the same time, Rogers examines a picture of Emma Swan in Lucy's book, and learns that his new partner is Detective Weaver. Henry begins work on a new story, and Jacinda returns to her job at Cluck's Chicken. On her way home, Jacinda finds a quarter and uses it to make a wish at the well, causing a hyacinth flower to sprout out of the ground.

Most family members are quite happy with this arrangement, especially Saad's mother and the older Bhabhi, Rana, who sees Salwa as her own and wants her son and Salwa to get married.

This does not sit well with the younger Bhabhi Khawla, who sees Salwa as competition for her own daughter, Soha, who is deeply in love with Saad and deeply despises her for the attention Saad reserves just for Salwa while basically ignoring Soha.

Enters Chaudhry Hamdan Mustafa, a rich, egoistic, spoiled brat who fancies Salwa and is deeply possessive about her. Not only is he possessive about her but he would do just about anything to ensure that Salwa is his. He is used to getting what he wants, courtesy of his mother who turns a blind eye to all of his faults out of love, and to him Salwa is no different.

Salwa dislikes Hamdan and his backward mentality, but puts up with him for the sake of Saad and the rest of their friends.

The five are students of media studies in a prestigious university. Their semester is coming to an end, but there is one last production assignment standing in the way of these friends - a short film that is due very soon. At first everything is seemingly fine, until Saad breaks his leg which prompts Salwa to be paired up with Hamdan for the project that is due soon. Saad takes time to recover which makes things worse for the friends and Saad and Salwa's relationship turns bitter. The accident turns their lives around.

Even though the theme of the project revolves around women empowerment, it becomes the downfall for Salwa. By agreeing to shoot a Nikkah scene with Hamdan, Salwa unknowingly marries Hamdan for real which sets the premise of the entire show since she is to be married to Saad soon after. Before the marriage, Salwa is kidnapped unbeknownst to everyone else who beliefed she ran away. Due to Salwa's disappearance, Saad is married to his cousin Soha. After his marriage, Salwa comes home to find a married Saad, her mother has an angina attack and is in the hospital. She turns her back against her family for not trusting her.

Mars, a world with a culture ages older than that of Earth, is a dying world, and has been in decline for eons. By the twenty-second century it has become a colony of the younger civilization of Earth, its natives oppressed by the rapacious Colonial Authority. Some of the newcomers are sympathetic to the natives, however, notably Ivo Tengren, who befriended the last of the titular high kings of Mars before the latter's demise. Inheriting from him both the crown and the responsibility to champion its people, Ivo led a doomed revolt against the CA, only to see it crushed and his Martian lover murdered. He himself has been deported back to Earth for his temerity and forbidden ever to return to Mars.

In exile, Tengren spends his days idly in drink and dreams until one Dr. Josip Keresny approaches him. Keresny plans an expedition to locate the lost Martian city of Ilionis, legendary "Gateway to the Gods," and offers Ivo illicit passage back to the Red Planet in return for serving as guide and placating the Martians. Hopeless and passive, Ivo is not the man he once was; nonetheless, he leaps at the chance.

The expedition proceeds, though tensions arise as Tengren develops an attraction to Keresny's granddaughter Ilsa and a hostile rivalry with pilot Konstantin Bolgov. The party also faces hostility from the Martians, who tolerate it only on account of their "king," even as they retain suspicions of him due to the debacle he led them through and his status as an Earthman. Eventually Ilionis is found. It indeed proves a gateway, to a vast system of caverns and relics of an alien technology older than anything remembered by the Martians.

Ultimately the cave system leads the explorers to the resting place of the Timeless Ones, a trio of alien survivors of the destroyed planet whose remains are now the asteroid belt. Awakened, they reveal themselves as the beings who guided the ancestors of both Martians and Earthlings on the path to sentience.

Bolgov, secretly an agent of the CA, attempts to destroy the aliens lest they free the Martians, but is thwarted. The Timeless Ones then pronounce sentence on the ruling Earthlings; for their crimes, all must leave Mars. Their vast mental powers give them the means to enforce this edict. The detached Tengren is satisfied with the outcome until he realizes the sentence includes him, at which point he belatedly speaks up for the more benignly inclined humans. The Timeless Ones grant the exception, giving him and Ilsa the right to remain and help rebuild Martian society.

Each episode tells a new "tale" inspired by past and current songs weaved into stories.

As a young child, Diana participates in an athletic competition on Themyscira against adult Amazons. After being knocked off her horse while looking back at her opponents, Diana takes a shortcut and remounts, but misses a checkpoint. Antiope removes her from the race for cheating, explaining anything worthwhile must be obtained honestly, while her mother Hippolyta advises her to be patient in her pursuit of glory and honor.

In 1984, Diana is working at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., while secretly performing heroic deeds as Wonder Woman. New museum employee Barbara Ann Minerva, a shy geologist and cryptozoologist, has trouble getting noticed by her co-workers, but quickly finds a friend in Diana.

After the FBI asks the museum to identify stolen antiquities from a robbery that Wonder Woman recently foiled, Barbara and Diana notice one of the artifacts, later identified as the Dreamstone, has a Latin inscription claiming to grant the holder one wish. Neither openly takes the inscription seriously, but Barbara wishes to become like Diana and unintentionally acquires the same superpowers, while Diana yearns for her deceased lover Steve Trevor. He is resurrected in another man's body; the two are reunited at a Smithsonian gala. Failing businessman Maxwell "Max Lord" Lorenzano steals the Dreamstone, hoping to use its power to save his nearly bankrupt oil company. His wish is to "become" the stone and gain its wish-granting powers; whenever he grants someone else's desire, he is able to take what he wants from the wisher, resulting in worldwide chaos, destruction and instability.

Diana discovers that the Dreamstone was created by Dolos/Mendacius, The God of Lies, also known as the Duke of Deception. It grants a user's wish, but exacts an equally strong toll unless they renounce the wish or destroy the stone. Although Diana's powers and Barbara's humanity begin to diminish, neither is willing to renounce their wish. Max visits the U.S President at the White House, who wishes for more nuclear missiles to cow the Soviets, which brings the world to the brink of nuclear war. Max also learns of a new and secret satellite system that can broadcast to anyone in the world; since his powers are causing his body to deteriorate, he plans to grant wishes globally to steal strength and life force from the viewers and regain his health. Diana and Steve confront him, but Barbara betrays Diana and knocks her down, escaping with Max on Marine One.

Steve convinces Diana to renounce her wish and let him go, restoring her to full strength. Donning the armor of Asteria, greatest of all Amazon warriors, Diana flies to the satellite headquarters and again battles Barbara, who has transformed into a humanoid cheetah after wishing to become an apex predator. After a brutal fight that ends in a lake, Diana electrocutes Barbara, then pulls her out of the water. She confronts Max and uses her Lasso of Truth to communicate with the world through him, persuading everyone to renounce their wish. She then shows Max visions of his own unhappy childhood and of his son, Alistair, who is frantically searching for his father amid the chaos. Max renounces his wish and reunites with Alistair, and Barbara returns to normal. Sometime later in the winter, Diana meets the man whose body Steve possessed. Meanwhile, Asteria is revealed to be secretly living among humans.

Chip is a timid sewer worker who is at the beck and call of his bombshell girlfriend. Liza is unhappy with her life as a prostitute and she is repeatedly abusive towards Chip in their relationship, but he is convinced that he is in love with her. One day, Liza's landlord and steady client, Ken Mckenzie, shows her a safe that contains $68,000. She convinces Chip to steal the $68,000 with her. The two sneak into the Mckenzies' house, armed and masked. Chip's apprehension of the mission is increased when he sees Liza kill the Mckenzies, who witnessed the two burglars in the house. During their heist, a young woman named Violet sees Chip with the Mckenzies' bodies and flees. Liza knocks Violet out cold and plans to sell her to her brother Dwayne, who will presumably torture and kill Violet.

Disgusted by Liza's plan, Chip knocks out Liza when she goes to get Violet from the trunk of their car. He shoots at a bypasser who tries to intervene in the situation; when Dwayne emerges from the building waving a machete, Chip shoots him in the shoulder. He then drives away with the money. Liza regains consciousness and chases after Chip, getting him to pull over. She tells him that she forgives him as long as he stays with her, but then loses consciousness again on the side of the road. Chip leaves her there and keeps driving away, until he hears Violet's voice from the trunk and remembers his hostage. When he goes to release her, she subdues him and holds him at gunpoint. With no other option, he decides to take Violet with him to flee with the money. Both are attracted to the other, as they bond over music and jokes in the car. On their trip, a police officer pulls them over, but Violet manages to talk their way out of the policeman inspecting the car further. Chip is impressed at her quick thinking, and the two further bond.

They take a stop at a gas station, where the clerk, Monica, sees Chip pull out a $100 bill from the envelope of the stolen money. She convinces him to give her more money for her to keep quiet, but Violet steps in and refuses for Chip. The two spend the night at a nearby hotel, where Violet tearfully explains that she was at the Mckenzies' that night because Mckenzie was forcing her to have sex with him for money. The two make love that night, seemingly safe.

The morning after, Chip wakes up to find his gun, money, and clothes stolen. Frantic, he is mad at himself for letting his guard down around Violet, who he assumes stole his possessions. He discovers her dead body in the bathtub of the room, horrified. Chip asks the man working at the hotel to use his phone to call Liza, since he thinks she is the one behind Violet's murder. The man working tells Chip a description of one of the people at his room the night before, which Chip connects to the gas station worker, Monica. Chip reluctantly incapacitates the man, finds some clothes from the lost-and-found, and steals his car. He goes to the gas station, where the employee working tells Chip where Monica is, with Chip reluctantly giving her cunnilingus in return.

When Chip arrives at the house, it is revealed he has been set up, as the employee was a friend of Monica's. He is taken inside, where one of the men in the house holds him at gunpoint. Chip tries to escape, but is knocked unconscious. Monica explains how and why she robbed Chip and framed him for Violet's death, even though her plan has many faults in it. Monica's group beats Chip while taking drugs that they bought with the stolen money. Chip eventually loses consciousness and has a vision of Violet, who tells him to wake up. When he does, he finds Liza is there, with a gun pointed at his face. Monica and one of her cohorts come out from the bedroom, and threaten Liza. Suddenly, Liza's brother (Dwayne) enters the room, and kills almost all of Monica's gang. With Liza and her brother now in control of the situation, Dwayne orders the two surviving members of Monica's gang (Monica and another woman) into the bedroom, where he rapes and kills one of them, leaving Monica as the only survivor from her original gang. Liza tells Chip that all is forgiven, as long as he still acts as her dog. He refuses, shoots and kills her, then goes into the bedroom to kill Dwayne. Monica thanks Chip for saving her from Dwayne "the pervert", and tells him that she will do anything that he wants her to do. He informs her that he wants her to bring the deceased Violet back to life, and then shoots and kills her (to avenge Monica's murdering of Violet in the first place.) Chip stages the scene to erase his presence at the house, takes the money, and escapes as the cops are driving to the direction of the house. On the side of the road, Chip spots a beautiful but provocatively tattooed woman with her car broken down. He considers picking her up, but ultimately speeds far away from her, content with his independence and the money.

Ray had just left prison and looks to resume his relationship with Lacy. However, she is now, almost married to Elliott and doesn't want to know anything about him. When she is kidnapped by Ray's former associates, he and Eliott needs to join forces to save her.

Flavio II and his wife Carmen take care of their newborn baby boy, whom they dream of becoming the next heroic legend. They offer the pious Rosa Batungbakal to take care of him, but the malevolent Lizardo's unlatched spirit and his goons attack the unprotected house. Rosa takes the newborn to the church to offer guidance from a priest while Flavio fends off the goons. Flavio gets stabbed and dies after fighting the spirit, who vows to rule the world.

The newborn baby later grew up to be Flavio Batungbakal III, a gangster who ambushes bandits around the market in Tondo, only to get apprehended by the police. Flavio is released from prison, and his stepfather Andoy warns him not to cause havoc around the streets anymore. He lives a comfortable life along with his family and regularly meets with Maria, a beautiful woman with whom he admits being smitten, although her parents disapprove of him. Meanwhile, a new human form of Lizardo appears in the shadows alongside his father. He is strongly attracted to Maria and craves to be with her. A beauty contest competition nearby is under way, which goes awry.

Citizens turn into aswangs and secretly devise a plot to destroy Flavio's hometown, and replace it with their own. During the cataclysm, an aswang disguised as a dog bites one of Flavio's younger brother, Diego, who insists that the injury is minor. Lizardo successfully latch onto his human form, making him the leader of the aswangs planning to rule the country. Flavio realizes that he is being followed by an old man holding a magical book which contains a mysterious power. When the old man tells him about the real existence of the aswangs, he threatens him by pulling out his butterfly knife out of disbelief. An aswang suddenly appears, which the two men defeat. The old man realizes that Flavio is the only known person of his bloodline capable of stopping Lizardo and his army.

Flavio is handed a map and starts his quest by riding a bus to search for the mythical dagger. While embarking through the forest, its surroundings suddenly changes into a magical kingdom. He encounters several dwarves, whom he asks about the location of the dagger. After seeing a diwata, Flavio asks the king and queen where the dagger is. He challenges a skilled swordsman, whom he defeats, and retrieves the dagger in a cave. He summons the dagger upwards, creating a shockwave which turns it into a double-edged sword, the sword of his grandfather, the original Panday.

He returns to Tondo and wields his grandfather's sword to defeat most of the aswangs in the hospital, train station and several communities. Diego is severely infected from one of the creature's bite and would later turn into a monster. Although distressed from his brother's plight, Flavio continues to defend the city but gets fatally stabbed by Lizardo. He falls into a coma, but is resurrected and healed by the old man. He embarks into a highland and is informed that he is not ready to fight Lizardo unless he undergoes a training and forge his sword. After his successful training, he is summoned into a desert world where he fights numerous goons. The voice of darkness enhances Lizardo's power to ensure he would win. As the voice of darkness disappears, Flavio battles Lizardo in a sword fight, which he wins after stabbing Lizardo in his weak spot to death.

Flavio visits the church with his family and Maria to commemorate their victory against Lizardo. He vows to continue saving the world from further malevolent threats.

Marwellia Harbison is an eccentric old woman who owns a greenhouse. Handyman Fred Adams stops by to do some work on the light fixtures and comments on how one of her plants is drooping. It is an odd-looking plant with yellow flowers. According to Marwella, it came from a newly formed volcanic island off the coast of Micronesia. Its current state happened overnight, and Marwella is at a loss to explain what could have caused it.

Fred inexplicably hurts himself on the plant as though he pricked his finger on a thorn. However, Marwella claims the plant ''has'' no thorns, and neither she nor Fred can figure out what could have pricked him. Nevertheless, he seems okay, and after bidding Marwella goodbye, he walks out to his truck, after which he immediately starts feeling strange and collapses. Marwella calls the paramedics. Fred is taken by ambulance to the Hill Valley Hospital with a very high fever. On call are Doctors Rachel Carson and Judith Glass, who are astonished to see that the man has already developed gangrene where he pricked his finger. Their attention is taken away from Fred when police detective Jim Bishop brings his partner in with a bad gunshot wound. The two had been involved in a stakeout that went poorly, and Jim's partner got shot at point-blank range. However, Rachel is confident that he should be okay with surgery.

In the adjacent bed, Fred begins convulsing and winds up vomiting an insect pupa out of his mouth, after which he seems to stabilize. The pupa is hurriedly contained in a bell jar in the hospital's in-house laboratory. Rachel is concerned that whatever Fred had might be contagious and orders mandatory checkups of everyone, including Jim. When Jim comes back clean of any mysterious parasitic insects, Rachel decides to show him around the hospital, including their high-tech research facility, where they are testing out new and powerful surgical lasers. Attempts to x-ray the pupa prove futile, so it is decided to slice it open. In doing so, the doctors unleash a particularly feisty insect-like creature, but with Jim's help, they get it contained.

Meanwhile, Fred is faring worse. In addition to having parasites from the insect, he has come down with a mysterious disease the creature was carrying. He goes into cardiac arrest, and when Judith Glass attempts to revive him with shock paddles, his chest violently explodes. Meanwhile, Marwella and the paramedic who brought Fred in come down with the same symptoms.

Hospital director Roger Levering is resistant to quarantining the facility for fear of causing a panic, but Rachel is at least able to get him to bring in entomologist Elliot Jacobs in the hopes of identifying the mysterious insect. Before Elliot arrives, a group of children from the hospital's pediatric ward start roaming the halls. Lab technician Alice Bradley, tasked with guarding the insect specimen, is lured away from her post by her boyfriend, laser lab technician Ted Andrews, to have sex, which leaves the insect completely unguarded. The children wander on into the lab unnoticed. Seeing the insect, they decide to feed it some bluish powdery substance one of them finds in a bottle on a shelf. They argue over who gets to pour it into the jar with the insect, and as a result, they pour in an excessively large amount of the powder. Hearing the nurse and orderly returning, the children quickly leave. Unbeknownst to the two, the insect has grown to gigantic proportions and broken free of its glass prison. It promptly kills them both.

Elliot Jacobs arrives, and he, Rachel, and Jim survey the carnage. Elliot is horrified when he discovers that the bluish powder the children fed the insect was a growth hormone. Now the insect is giant, and it could be anywhere. It turns out the insect is in the utility tunnels underneath the hospital, where the creature kills a hapless janitor and then begins building a nest for its brood. Rachel, Jim, and Elliot figure out how to stop the insect while Judith deals with the consequences of the disease the creature has spread throughout the building before the military, summoned by New York's Lincoln Institute (a facility for disease prevention), take drastic measures and destroy the facility.

'''Thao Phromatat''' (''Lord Phromatat'') is the ruler of the city-state of Nakhon Paranasri, who despite his advanced age has a stunningly beautiful young royal consort known as '''Nang Kaki''' (''Lady Kaki''), whom he deeply loves and is greatly possessive of, forbidding anyone, even the palace courtiers, noblemen or even his closest male friends from seeing, or even being in her presence, save for very few exceptions. One of the few males allowed to be in the presence of Kaki is '''“Nadhkuvaen”''', a ''khondhan'', or demigod half-man half-angel who is very attractive and very skilled in the musical fields and poetry, and a favourite court musician of Thao Phromatat, often playing calming lullabies when he indulges in his favourite sport of ''saka'' (an ancient Thai sport similar to modern-day polo, but in folk tales and chronologies often depicted with magical flying horses). Aside from his close relatives, Thao Phromatat also plays saka with a close friend, a mysterious figure extremely skilled in the sport known as '''Vaenadhrai''', who actually is a garuda in disguise, and lives at a distant palace called ''Chimbhli'', situated on Mount Meru, unreachable by most mere mortals. Vaenadhrai takes the appearance of a muscular, attractive man, who refuses to tell Thao Phromatat where he comes from, but always arrives to play saka with him on a standard basis before leaving.

After hearing rumours of Vaenadhrai's perfect figure from the other ladies of the court, Kaki secretly watches him, both accidentally making eye contact at that second, and are mutually excited by each other's attractive figures, causing Vaenadhrai to formulate a plot to kidnap Kaki and take her from Thao Phromatat. He achieves this by transforming himself back into his fully-fledged garuda figure and blocks the sunlight and creates a great storm, causing those within the city of Nakhon Paranasri to panic. In the confusion, he snatches away Kaki and brings her to his Chimbhli Palace, where they engage in an affair, continuing to disguise himself as an attractive man while in the walls of the Chimbhli residence. Kaki's inexplicable disappearance causes great distress to Thao Phromatat. Nadhkuvaen, who is secretly in love with Kaki volunteers to find her. He deeply suspects Vaenadhrai, as on the day when the garuda made eye contact with Kaki, Naedhkuvaen himself was secretly watching, and later notices Vaenadhrai's irregular behaviour during the usual game of saka, and uses his demigod powers to transform himself into a flea, attaching himself to Vaenadhrai when he flies back to Chimbhli. He finds Kaki there, and coerces her into having sexual relations with him, threatening to expose her affair with Vaenadhrai to Thao Phromatat if she refuses. He returns to Nakhon Paranasri, and during the next scheduled game of saka, creates a poem with explicit details about Kaki, angering Vaenadhrai immensely. The garuda returns to Chimbhli and confronts Kaki about it, and, refusing to listen to her, returns her shamed and publicly humiliated to Thao Phromatat. Despite still loving her, the elderly king follows court protocol and punishes her by leaving her on a raft that is set afloat into the ocean without supplies.

After being stranded for days on the raft, and nearly dying, Kaki is rescued by a merchant who is dumbfounded by her beauty and marries her instantly. Shortly thereafter, the merchant's ship is attacked by pirates, with the pirate leader forcefully taking Kaki as his wife, before the entire pirate crew mutiny and slaughter themselves while fighting over Kaki once they dock. She manages to escape, and is rescued by an elderly ruler, '''Thao Dosavong'', the widower ruler of another city-state, Paisali. He takes her as his queen, with Kaki refusing to tell him where she came from in fear that he would be disgusted by her and evict her from his city should he find out the truth. While Dosavong is senile and far too elderly compared to the other men in Kaki's life, he views her with affection and keeps her at his court.

Meanwhile, since having left Kaki to die in the ocean, Thao Phromatat is greatly depressed, and eventually passes away without a legitimate successor. The people of Nakhon Paranasri choose the popular Nadhkuvaen to be their next ruler. Nadhkuvaen still loves Kaki, and when he finds out that she is the queen of Paisali, he immediately has a royal ambassador demand Kaki's return from Paisali. When the city-state refuses to comply, he raises the Paranasri armies and sacks Paisali, taking back Kaki, and crowns her his queen.

Afterwards, Jordan arrives and reveals he has stolen the serial killer case files from his father.

Mayor Campbell calls an emergency town meeting, and McKayla and Sadie rile the townspeople into turning against local law enforcement by showing them to be incompetent, including sending the people of the town a picture of Big Al's severed head. They hold a march in defiance of the killer. However, Lehmann escapes and murders Mayor Campbell. Jordan has a falling out with McKayla and Sadie and leaves them, in support of his father. An enraged McKayla discovers Jordan has stolen a phone belonging to her that has videos of the murders, and goads Sadie into heading to Jordan's house to kill him. Jordan reveals that he broke into the school and stole McKayla's psychological profile; he suspects her of being the killer. They are interrupted when Lehmann breaks into the Welch residence and brutally stabs Jordan. McKayla awakens the sleeping Sheriff Welch by breaking his window; he drives Lehmann off and saves Jordan.

Lehmann attempts to attack Sadie, but is stopped by McKayla. He turns on her, and McKayla pulls out a gun and shoots Lehmann dead. The girls reconcile, hang Jordan, and – after chain-locking the doors shut – start a fire in the gymnasium that traps and kills 124 prom-goers. In the aftermath, Lehmann is shown to have been blamed for the murders. A grieving Welch resigns as sheriff to focus on charity work, while McKayla and Sadie head off to college to start a new chapter in their lives, as though nothing had happened.
