This episode entitled "Naka-Choko" opens with a recap of last week's episode. CaveBearMan/Randall slams through Will's window. While killing him Will imagined Randall as StagMan and then Hannibal. On a side note, where can I get that Hannibal mask for Halloween?
Jack discovers part of CaveBearMan's body on display at the natural history museum. That was pretty gruesome. Will and Hannibal survey the scene and describe what the killer was thinking. Will should know since he's the one who killed Randall. Jack senses there's more here than meets the eye.
Freddie makes an appearance. We're havent seen her in a while (which is actually a good thing since it means she'll live a little longer). She's still working on a book/TV show/movie about Will.
We finally meet Margo's brother Mason. Am I only the one that is severely irritated by him? He shows Margo his pigs that he has trained to eat human flesh. He does this by dressing some meat up in Margo's clothes and then lowering it into the pen (while he's playing a recording of a woman screaming). Poor Margo. She failed the first time in killing her brother (which she attributed to poor planning). She says she cant kill him anyway since if he dies the family fortune goes to the Southern Baptist Convention.
Later Hannibal meets Mason at the pig farm. He wants info on what Margo says during her sessions but Hannibal refuses. In exchange for Hannibal helping Margo, Mason offers him a pig. Hannibal wants to select his own pig though.
Hannibal serves the whole pig to Alana and Will. There is talk of Freddie and how she doesnt believe Chilton was the Chesapeake Ripper. And we know Freddie so that means she wont give up on trying to find the truth. She is also rude and we know Hannibal does not abide rude people. During dinner there's lots of talk about boundaries. Alana says "boundaries are always negotiable". She says that Hannibal and Will dont have boundaries and "it's just hard to know what you are with each other". To which Will says "we always know where we are with each other, shouldnt that be enough?" What a strange bunch they are.
Hannibal teaches Alana how to play the theremin in the nude. Meanwhile Margo pays another visit to Will. She says "I'll show you my scars if you'll show me yours". So they do. And have sex. This is intercut with Hannibal and Alana having sex. At some point Will imagines Alana instead of Margo. I think Hannibal images Will but it does not specifically show that. Instead it shows Alana imaging being in bed with both Hannibal and Will. At least I think that's what happened. It was all very dark. Whatever works for ya but I thought Margo was gay? If so, she is more likely to have sex with Alana than Will. Maybe she is trying to have a male heir though so she can do away with Mason?
Freddie is snooping around Will's house. She goes to the barn and finds the remains of CaveBearMan. She also finds frozen mean and a mandible in the freezer. Will arrives. She pulls a gun. There is a struggle. She runs to her car and calls Jack. Jack hears her scream but does not know Will broke out her window and drug her away. And if that werent enough Freddie is in even more trouble because Hannibal is waiting for her at her house. He's wearing his seethrough plastic killing suit (and that's always a bad sign).
Cut to a scene of Will bringing meat to Hannibal. Hannibal asks what kind of meat it is. Will wont say. Hannibal says the animal was afraid when it was killed (so that makes the meat more acidic). Will finally says the mystery meat is "long pig" (which means human). Uh oh. I really dont think its Freddie though. It might be CaveBearMan instead.
This episode seemed to have Will morphing into Hannibal (especially with the scene of him staring into the wine glass). I really hope that's not true. I hope Will is playing a long game and has something special in store for Hannibal in the end.
Favorite Quotes:
"This is my design"- Will when looking at CaveManBear's body on display.
"They eat what they love"- Alana to Hannibal and Will while eating dinner.
"I have given up good and evil for behaviorism"- Will to Hannibal.
"It is the prospect of death that leads us to greatness"- Hannibal.
"Hollywood is a fine place for the obnoxious and wealthy"- Freddie.
"Someone with no boundaries is a psychopath or a journalist"- Will to Alana and Hannibal.
Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). Not my most favorite episode but talk about crossing boundaries. Everyone is apparently in love/lust with everyone else. Why not just have a three way and get over it? And we still the have scene from the beginning of the season where it looked like Hannibal killed Jack. Will we see that soon? And when is Dr du Maurier returning? I hope soon.
