During a routine prison transfer, Dr. Abel Gideon (episode 107) escapes after slaying the officers inside the transport van. Hanging their organs on a tree like fruit, Gideon hopes to lure the real Chesapeake Ripper into the open. He kidnaps Freddie Lounds, forcing her to report in real time the details of his on-going escapades, which target all his former therapists, including Alana Bloom. During the manhunt, Will begins to lose his ability to differentiate between hallucination and reality.
