I really liked how that whole speech was echoing the lines from the book, 'Hannibal' - BOOK SPOILERS AHOY -
with Hannibal saying his own acts pale in creation to God, whose irony and malice are unsurpassable… That line in the book comes right after he's remembering how he wished he could see Mischa again after she was…

I don't think Chilton is dead… Not just because he's such a fantastic character in this season, but I think this is Fuller being playful with people's roles in the books…
