[S2 Ep 7:Yakimono]

*We pick up right where we left off, with Miriam being transported to the BAU(and here we get a nice callback to Savoureaux  and it's repeated later on in the episode)

*I have wondered many times how much does Miriam remember(or not..) but as we go through the episode it's quite clear that she has been thoroughly brain washed by Hannibal.

*This week's death tabeleaux is the tree dude-not deliberate that all of the flowers that have been planted in his body are toxic(but Hannibal is being slightly sloppy here-or maybe it's deliberate- just throwing that out there.)

*Alana interviews Hannibal-now, surely this is a huge conflict of interest, given last week's episode-especially since Jack knows that she spent the night at Hannibal's house,

*Jack blames himself for what happened to Miriam-however Miriam corrects him and says that it was her fault too(Stockholm Syndrome much?)

*Hannibal doesn't seem too worried,especially when Miriam is all "Yeah, he's *not* the Ripper."

*Will is free, and he's calling  Chilton out. Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl. Given the way that this episode ends, Will's telling Chilton to watch himself seems like an anvil.

*Will seems unsurprised by the news about Miriam. Jack is sorry,I guess.Kinda?Sorta?

*Then it's back to Hannibal's Haus Of Horrors In The Woods.

*Will sees the tree dude in Hannibal's office in Will's recreation.

*Will tells Jack he can't trust Miriam- No.Shit.

*Will is finally reunited with his dogs, yay!

*And he tries to warn Alana and, well, look what happened in Mizumono.

*Chilton wants to stay alive.Well, by the end of the episode that was a big question mark.

*Will visits Miriam(at the FBI? a safehouse?) and they compare notes. Hannibal was doing his form of "therapy" on both of them.

*Will pays Hannibal a visit..of course Hanni has to make a snarky comment about his aftershave.Really Hannibal?That's all you've got?

*Miriam is definitely brainwashed, because she sees the Wound Man drawing in Hannibal's office and it doesn't ring any bells with her. I would think that if anything made her remember,*that* would.

*Chilton goes home..and finds(what's left of) Gideon..only to be knocked out by Hannibal, and wakes up to find two FBI agents who have been sent to pick him up(because he is supposedly the Ripper) dead. Of course they're going to think Chilton did it(and he's already a suspect-earlier in the episode it was established that they would be led away from Hannibal as a suspect, and that's exactly what happened. And we all know Hannibal's REALLY good at framing people.

*So where does he go?To Will's(who must have known that  Chilton was going to show up to his house or else he called Jack as soon as Chilton got to his house and Jack sped the whole way to Will's?)

*Chilton tries to make a run for it but doesn't get far. The next scene is at the BAU and we get a callback to the start of this episode.

*Chilton gets shot..by Miriam.In.The.Face. I am amazed that he survived that, TBH.

*Will shows up-all cleaned up with a haircut and everything-to Hannibal's. "I have to deal with my feelings about you"(understatement of the decade.) Will says "I want to resume my therapy". Oh Will.Oh honey.

Next week is Su-zakana. I am going to have a lot of fun writing a review for that.

Quotable:

The Chesapeake Ripper has set you free.Mazel Tov.-Chilton

All of this has been my design-Will
