The Team works to untangle the elaborate construction of a human totem pole. Comprised of seventeen bodies, some dating back to the 1970s, the pole is obviously meant to tell a story that only Will can decipher. Freddie Lounds, meanwhile, has teamed with Abigail Hobbs to write a tell-all book about her serial killer father, against Will and Hannibal’s advice. In the midst of this, Nick Boyle's body (episode 103) resurfaces, threatening the secret Abigail and Hannibal share.
