A nurse at a hospital for the criminally insane is left alone with family annihilator Dr Gideon (Eddie Izzard) and he kills her. The trash rag reporter Freddie claims that Gideon is the Ripper in a change from her vilification campaign against Will. Gideon claims he is the Ripper too, has someone made him believe he is?
Jack recalls how two years ago he sent trainee FBI agent Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky) to look for connections between the Ripper victims. He never saw her again and now someone is tormenting him with phone calls of Miriam’s last moments.
This was okay. Gideon is in the hospital where Lecter will end up someday. Lecter serves Alana Bloom ‘tongue’ and a flashback shows how Miriam connected a victim to Dr Lecter and how she made an ill-fated visit to Lecter’s office. Creepy.
