A totem pole of human bodies ranging from freshly killed to decades old are found on a beach and while Graham is investigating the crime scene, he suddenly finds himself in Lecter's 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. Freddie Lounds convinces Abigail Hobbs to let her write a book about Abigail and her father, which is met with grave concern from Graham and Lecter. The body of Nicholas Boyle (whom Abigail had accidentally killed) re-surfaces and with it re-emerge Crawford's suspicion that Abigail knows more than she is letting on. The freshest totem pole victim is identified as Joel Summers, who had been adopted as a child by Fletcher Marshall, the oldest body on the pole. The killings are traced to Summers's biological father, Lawrence Wells (Lance Henriksen), who confesses that he created the totem pole as a kind of retirement plan. Prison would be a luxury compared to the only nursing homes he could afford to live in. Graham examines Boyle's body and deduces that he was killed by Abigail. He confronts Lecter, who reveals that he helped Abigail hide the body in order to protect her future. Graham reluctantly agrees to keep her secret so that she won't inherit her father's brutal legacy. Abigail herself reveals an even greater secret to Lecter: that she actually did, as Crawford suspected, know who her father really was and even helped him to procure his victims by befriending the young girls.
