I was wondering how much of a time jump they were going to give us. I was glad to see that they took us to a point where Daniel was still fundamentally lost, so that we could watch him take his first steps toward finally reaching out to people in his new world. It feels like something we needed to see with our own…

This is a show where a 60-old-man managed to construct a totem pole full of bodies on a beach all by himself. Doesn't seem so far-fetched in that sort of world that Bedelia could cut off her own leg.

But he never mentions Dolarhyde to Jack, and it seems he's implying to Bedelia that he wants Hannibal to escape, and thus has told Dolarhyde about the plan.

I'm not sure where they would have gone with a fourth season, simply because Will seems to have been completely compromised.

I'm terrible with spatial orientation, yet I had no trouble following Dollarhyde's home invasion and the subsequent escape.

In an episode that featured a lot of characters building bridges, I thought Jon's line to Amantha that Daniel would have been better off with a lawyer who wasn't "so distracted" was damn cold.

It did definitely feel like it was written as if it could be the series finale.

I don't know what the more potent image was, Daniel standing in front of his former prison or in front of the ocean. But I found both just incredibly moving.

"Well, if you're not sure about something, just say you're not sure. How about that?"

Man, I am a sucker for seeing damaged relationships on the mend, so that pool scene hit me pretty hard. Janet's journey in this episode was quite moving. (So what horrible thing is going to happen next week to ruin it all, I wonder?)

But they don't know that there's been any crime involved with George's death. When the sheriff said "two separate crimes," I assumed he meant that even if Daniel didn't rape Hannah, he still could have murdered her.

"Could be two separate crimes for sure."

Some of my favorite moments on this show are when we see these people attempt to make a real connection with each other. Amantha softening just a little to Daniel in his room after telling him she just couldn't "pretend to give a shit" just a couple of episodes ago was the most affecting scene for me.

I think it might be the despair that comes from the realization both that his life is once again completely under others' control, as well as his belief that maybe he's just too broken, and that they won't be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

"How else will they make scrapbooks of their successes?"

I think it's clear to say that Hannibal surrendered, but also fair to wonder if Will didn't know that what was he was saying to Hannibal would force him to do so.

I cannot watch "Hannibal" without subtitles because Mads' accent can sometimes be impenetrable to my ears. Worth it for the performance, though.

I think this might be the finale to the first long arc of the entire Will/Hannibal dynamic that started in season 1, episode 1.

Probably the best episode of the season.

I was about ready to complain that we got yet another episode with lots of stunning imagery, but little narrative drive, but I think they pulled it together by the end.
