Will vs Grumpy Cat. Who's having a worse day?
For anyone keeping count, a "Buffet Froid" is a meal all put out at one time. Not sure what that has to do with anything but there ya go. What did we learn in episode 10?
- We learned that Will is not going insane but has encephalitis. Too bad Hannibal doesn't feel like telling him. I guess he'll see how much of a breakdown he has and then save Will at the last minute (or not).
- We finally see a female killer and she is freaky deaky. I didn't know Cotards Syndrome existed. See! Hannibal is as educational as Sesame Street. Mental Floss has a list of real live cases of Cotards: http://mentalfloss.com/article/50197/plight-living-dead-10-case-reports-cotard’s-syndrome
- And Hannibal knocks off someone else. This time it's Dr Sutcliffe. Not really sure why he did it though.
- Thanks to this episode, I now have to look under the bed before going to sleep. I hope you're happy Hannibal!
Episode 10 "Buffet Froid"
Beth LeBeau is found murdered, having drowned in her own blood as a result of her face being cut into a Glasgow smile. Graham's mental state continues to sharply decline; he loses hours at a time and when a vivid hallucination causes Graham to contaminate the crime scene, Lecter refers him to a neurologist, an old residency colleague, Dr. Sutcliffe (John Benjamin Hickey). An MRI reveals that Graham is suffering an advanced form of Encephalitis, but Lecter pressures Sutcliffe into telling Graham that he found no neurological problems so that Lecter can continue to analyze him. Graham returns to LeBeau's house, where he is attacked by her killer, who manages to escape. She is identified as Georgia Madchen (Ellen Muth), a young woman who suffers from numerous medical conditions, including Cotard's Syndrome, a delusional disorder that has her convinced she is actually dead and takes away her ability to identify people's faces. She mutilated LeBeau's (her best friend) face because she was deluded into thinking LeBeau was an untrustworthy stranger. She becomes interested in Graham after their encounter and even follows him to Dr. Sutcliffe's office. Graham reaches out to her and manages to convince her that she is alive and not alone, and Georgia is brought in for medical treatment. Lecter murders Dr. Sutcliffe but frames the kill to appear as though Georgia had murdered him while following Graham.
Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). Only three episodes to go till the end of sason 1. And Hannibal was renewed last week for season 2. Yeah!!!
