[S2 Ep1: Kaiseki]

*The first part of S2 is the textbook definition of "it got worse".

*The showdown in the kitchen is balls.to.the.wall.

*Murasaki reference!

*Will's memory palace-fly fishing--of course. But that damn Nightmare Stag shows up!

*Will is trying to block out Chilton(can't say I blame him-if I were Will,I would too! :P)There was a really good fic where Chilton was doing all sorts of unethical shit to Will.

*Will wants to talk to Hannibal..how about.. NO. Actually, how about HELL NO.

*Kade Purnell(Ugh..hoping that she gets called out bigtime in S3)

*The people soup-guh-ross!(right up there with the mushroom people, TBH)

*Hannidelia- their relationship is so interesting to me.She tells Hannibal "You are obsessed with Will Graham". No.Shit.

*Will sees Hanni's shadow as a deer's leg/hoof. Unsubtle and unsettling. And Will's inner voice sounds like Hannibal's. That damn gaslighting.And he does it to Will whilst he's in the mental hospital.Lovely.

*Hannibal at the BAU is the proverbial fox in the henhouse-at this point they don't suspect him. Hannibal gaslights Team Sassy Science, too.

*Alana takes Will's dogs back to his house-which I'm glad to see-they need to have that normalcy..but Winston goes back there on his own..He's  very sensitive..on a level with his owner.

*Alana hypnotises Will-Chilton listens in. Alana hypnotises Will-the light bar thing that Alana has is supposed to evoke the light beam Will sees when he recreates crimes. Alana turns into inky!Alana- freaky!

*Roland Umber gets abducted-that's a well-used trope but Hannibal manages to do it quite well.

*Bev goes to visit Will(without telling Jack first, who would *definitely* yell at her if she told him what she was going to do) and Will figures out that the people represent a colour palette.

*Will is eating salisbury steak(gotta love institutional food) when he remembers what happened to him. That is one of the hardest scenes to watch.Like ever.And this is Hannibal we're talking about!

*Will is in his happy place but gets interrupted by Jack. GDI jack, can't you let Will have his happy place? JFC.

*The mural victim is very..attached.(sorry, not sorry. Us Fannibals LOVE our puns.)

Quotable:

Will: I'm going to remember, Dr. Lecter. And when I do,there will be a reckoning.

Beverly:You're not a suspect. You're the new Will Graham

Will: You may not believe me now.. but you will.
