*Beth Lebeau comes home to a big,empty house.There's a leak in the roof so she has to check it out(is that how Georgia got in the house?)
*Beth goes back to bed(or tries to) and gets pulled under the the bed. This scene legit scares the shit out of me.Every.Time.
*Will in a session with Hannibal who is such a gaslighter.
*Will,that's an odd clock(as an aside:I love Will's "why?" when Hannibal asks him to draw a clock.
*Will's been fishin..turns out it is a hallucination and he thinks that he contaminated the crime scene.
*Beth's house looks a little like Will's-they both live in larg(ish) homes out in the middle of nowhere.Coincidence?
*Will is pretty broken at this point and it doesn't get much better for him.
*They find tissue from the killer, but can't make sense of it(more about that in a minute!)
*Hannigram scene with Hannibal, Will, and a ladder. :)
*Finally Will is going to see a doctor- Sutcliffe, a neurologist.Problem is, he's a friend of Hannibal's.And yeah, Hannibal does ask Sutcliffe to lie to Will and say that there is nothing wrong with him.And Sutcliffe totally does.
*Hannibal lies to Jack about what's going on .That should come as no surprise, though.
*Will goes back to Beth Lebeau's and sees someone and pulls off her skin before she escapes. He loses time, and calls Bev because he's not entirely sure what happened.
*Jack *did* push Will over the edge, and Will, in the condition he was in, was ill suited to deal with it.
*Will draws another odd clock.
*Hannibal suggests that maybe the woman has Cotard's syndrome, where people think they are dead.
*They find out that the woman's name is Georgia Madchen.Her mom fills them in-she has been dealing with mental illness long-term.
*"You didn't kill Miriam Lass. The Chesapeake Ripper did", ah yes, but.. :)
*Hannibal has Sutcliffe over for dinner and serves Iberico "ham".
*Hannibal, Will is your friend, but you say only to do things when it's absolutely ncessary?You really *are* an asshole.
*Will is having another brain scan. Will goes to Sutcliffe's office but there is blood on the door handle.That's not good.
*Dr. Sutcliffe has been turned into Dr. Pez Head.
*"A habit of collecting strays". Will, did you just admit that you're a dog hoarder? LOL.
*Georgia is under Will's bed.
*Georgia is in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Hannibal is hoping that she won't remember anything.Of course.He's more "worried" about Will.
*Flashback to Georgia walking in on Hannibal cutting up Dr. Sutcliffe's face; she can't see his face but he hands the scissors he's using to her so she can finish the job.
Episode insight:
A couple episodes after this one, Hannibal tells Bedelia, I see his(Will's ) madness and I want to control it like a oil spill.
Control.And manipulation.They are a HUGE part of this episode. Then in S2 Bedelia says(about Hannibal's methods) "It's coersion". Gee, you think?
He does so to Dr. Sutcliffe, who is clearly uncomfortable lying to a patient about their illness.
His unwillingness to go along with the plan got Dr. Sutcliffe killed, of course.After the second scan he must have seen that Will was getting *worse*.
This episode is all about the things we hide and the lies we tell and how we hurt the ones we love.
Hannibal has been manipulating people his entire life(we don't know his backstory in this version so have to guess)-but he uses manipulation as a coping mechanism and a life skill.
There are a lot of paralells between Will's grasp(or lack thereof) sanity and Georgia's..except Georgia's is much more long-term. I think on some level she must have picked up on Will's ability to empathise (even with brain inflammation!) which is why she went to his house.
Speaking of Will.. things just keep going downhill from this episode on and don't get much better until the middle of S2 and then Mizumono happens.
Will tries to explain what is going on to the *one* person who totally should understand and Hannibal just makes it worse
