The series is based on characters and elements appearing in Thomas Harris' novels Red Dragon and Hannibal, with focus on the relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The episode revolves around Graham returning to work with the FBI, this time investigating the corpse of a woman found in a dead horse's uterus. While an employee appears to be a suspect, Graham has his reservations on the suspect. Meanwhile, Lecter starts therapy with Margot Verger (Katharine Isabelle), who has been sexually abused by her brother Mason (Michael Pitt).
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.80 million household viewers and gained a 0.8/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received very positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and return to a more "held-back" structure.
