They follow up on this episode a couple times throughout the show but not next episode, some things that happen in the show aren't fully explained until later on. The halfway points and season finales are always amazing though. And yes, many of the women on this show are absolutely gorgeous, Beverly is personally my favorite.
God, I love this episode because it gives us a lot more insight to Hannibal as a character and who he is as a predator. He really doesn't like someone else taking credit for his kills & is definitely arrogant enough to think no one will ever get behind his facade. And I do think the Hannibal and Jack dynamic is underrated by fans because it's truly so interesting. I genuinely believe that Hannibal does see Jack as a friend which makes all of his actions towards him even more messed up (but also a lot more interesting because it shows that Hannibal has a completely different moral compass/set of beliefs to most people)
i don’t think Hannibal sees Jack as a friend. More so as a worthy opponent, a formidable foe he takes great pleasure in fooling, even feeding him his victims and literally putting all the evidence in front of him. It’s a play on his ego and overconfidence. He *respects* Jack but he’s never acted in his best interests. Unlike Will whom he considers, arguably, his *only* friend and whose “best interests” have always been the focal point behind all his actions (stabbing and head cutting non-conforming).
Eddy Izzad is brilliant as Gideon. And I love that now Hannibal‘s scenes are showing more of who he truly did. Hannibal loves nothing more than to manipulate.
Interesting that you are somehow having a crush on Alana Bloom. She has never been my cup of tea. I myself used to fancy Freddie Lounds a lot instead, despite her questionable personality. 🙂

8:55 no yeah that’s very understandable. i’m a straight woman and even i am obsessed with caroline (dr.bloom’s actress) she’s sooo gorgeous.
Can confirm as a gay guy that she is indeed amazing

Eddie Izzard is soooo good as Gideon, such a great character
Gideon is my (second) favourite antagonist on this show! Such a fun character
Had to click right away cause Gideon is a beast! Love this episode!
you with Alana is me with Will 😭 have to rewind so many times i get distracted!
8:55 that homosexuality in me agrees
Jack is trying to catch the ripper, ie Hannibal, which is enough reason to mess with him.
Oh Will, that's not even the goriest thing you'll see all *season*.
