Probably also difficult to find a patient who wouldn't judge you for having dated a serial killer.

So that limits their possible conversation topics to "dogs" and maybe "fishing", right? Molly's like, "Walter's having difficulty adjusting to middle school," and Will responds, "Sorry, Winston? Did you mean Winston?"

Ah, you're right. I guess I made an assumption because of the book.

Now I'm thinking about how Will probably really tried to tell her about his and Hannibal's relationship and ended up saying something like, "We were friends, then we weren't. He was a serial killer, so."

Thoughts this episode~

Like, Will, take a hint.

"Is Hannibal in love with me?"

I truly hope we get a fourth season. I desperately want to see Fuller's take on Clarice. Plus, despite what may have been mentioned regarding this season's finale being a good stopping point, I expect this coming finale to be no less devastating than the last two.

I could see that. But Martha Stewart often comes off to me as having this constant undercurrent of sourness coursing through her, as though she's just thoroughly irritated with everything she's doing in her life. I think maybe Hannibal would be interested in bringing this to the forefront of her psyche.

Why didn't show!Will become a vet? It seems like interacting with animals is the one thing he enjoys.

*Mason would not be accepted into wizarding school.

Maybe they'd give him a bucket?

You know, I think Hannibal and Martha Stewart could be best friends.

"Oh, hello Hannibal. Here's a toilet. No. I'm withholding it. Look at me, getting off!"

That threw me off, as well as, "I'm just about worn out with you crazy sons of bitches" (both being book lines). I dunno, it just seemed odd, that line coming from someone who's typically rather poetic ("Feels like I'm talking to his shadow, suspended on dust," "Hannibal follows several trains of thought at once…

Especially appropriate since this is the week he shed the title "Tooth Fairy."

Next week… Hannibal goes to Litchfield!

Thoughts on this episode:

I just imagine Will seething while he's driving in his car, then as he sits through the last few minutes of Bedelia's lecture, meticulously constructing his mini-monologue: "Poor Dr. Du Maurier, swallowed whole. Suffering inside Hannibal Lecter's bowels for what must have felt like an eternity. You didn't lose…
