[S1 Ep10:Roti]

*Chilton is having dinner at Hannibal's.

*Hannibal:"Deny everything". Sounds about right, LOL

*Will dreaming of a wave(which is a shout-out to the Peter Weir movie The Wave) and the wave washing over him and the totem pole,then his clock and bed start melting.

*Gideon missed his calling as a marriage counselor.

*Blood spreading across the white shirt of one of the guards.

*The scene where Will recreates what happened is mirrored when Will escapes in Ep. 13.This is brutal, but far from the *most* brutal death on the show.

*The trees decorated with organs.. *shudder*

*Chilton doesn't think he's responsible.Alana(quite justifiably) reads him the riot act.

*Will's hallucinations are getting worse-he is sweaty and hallucinates a room full of antlers. Jack is worried, but not worried enough, if you ask me.

*Will is in sessions with Hannibal but Hannibal is just making things worse.

*Gideon is going to go after anyone who he interacted, so Alana is in danger.

*Will doesn't see his fever as a big deal. Yes Will, it *is* a big deal.

*Freddie gets a call from Gideon in her car(I always half expect Gideon to pop up from the back seat).

*Freddie finds Dr. Carruthers..and Gideon.

*Freddie is going to help Gideon(and attempt to piss Hannibal off in the process which it does. Mission accomplished. ;)

*Chilton gets his insides rearranged by Gideon. Freddie is preternatually calm during all of that.

*Will really shouldn't  be out and about but he is.And he just gets sicker and sicker over the course of the episode.

*Will sees the Nightmare Stag.

*Will is in Gideon's car;they go to Hannibal's.

*Will's seizure freaks me out-every. time. And Hannibal doesn't seem a bit concerned, either. "It was a mild seizure". Are you freaking kidding me?

*Hannibal  sics Gideon on Alana.

*Will looks like death warmed over  2 or 3 times after his seizure.

*Hannibal leaves his keys on the table knowing full well that Will will(heh) take them, and he does.

*Alana has no idea how much danger she's in until she hears the gun go off.

* Will has just enough strength to shoot Gideon and collapse in the snow.

*Chilton is alive. Only just.  Hannibal says that Will shouldn't have a gun. Jack disagrees with him. Will has a 105 degree fever.

*I love the quiet moment with Alana sitting by Will's hospital bed and holding his hand. She's there for him, even if he doesn't know it(he looks about unconscious as one person can get.)

*Session with Bedelia..they talk about Will and  Hannibal says that he(Will) represents an opportunity for friendship.Boy did that ever backfire on Will. :P

Episode insight:

Wow, so much to comment on here.. First of all, let's talk about Will. I swear to god, the man just John Waynes  it for most of the episode(well, until he collapses). More than one person tells Will that he looks ill.

On some level, Will must know that something is wrong...his hallucinations have been ramped up from the previous episode-the dream of the wave, and of his clock and bed melting and being engulfed in water are a good example of this. He looks sick,but apparently doesn't own a mirror or look in one enough to see what he looks like. If I looked like Will did and caught sight of myself in a mirror, I would go to the emergency room so fast it's not even funny.

Hannibal continues to be a stand-up guy[/sarcasm]. He's kinda right about  Will not having a gun,though(Will's being able to  take Gideon down -even with a raging fever-is amazing. Any other time someone with a  gun and 105 degree fever would be a liabillity.)

Meanwhile, Hannibal is just being his usual Hannibal self.Inserting himself where he's not(necessarily) wanted.

Hannibal has all sorts of nefarious designs for Will(ha!) It's obvious from the(shady) way he's acting this episodeActually, it's been obvious for several episodes before this one.. Watching  this episode the first time I could not have told you that that "friendship" was going to take the turn that it did.

I see his madness and I want to control it like an oil spill.-Hannibal
