The Case of the Week didn't seem to function for much beyond aesthetics the B Team took the lead on it, which was fine since the perpetrator openly admitted to her crimes of 'quieting' the mind. 'Takiawase' gave us two: one dead, and one who wishes he was. Of course, Hannibal wouldn't be Hannibal without some grotesque corpse on display. Continuing to incorporate Abigail Hobbs has been one of the series' strongest feats of continuity, as she acts as a driving point for both Will and Hannibal, forever binding them together. Advantage: Hannibal.ДЄs for the rest of 'Takiawase,' it incorporated just enough of Will's mind palace - from fishing lessons with Abigail to the strobe-light remembrances of Hannibal's treatment of him - without going overboard. By bringing Bella back from her suicide attempt (what a painful scene that was, yet such a powerful set of interactions between them), he has secured Jack's trust and support (for now). Meanwhile, Hannibal continues to cultivate other allies. Will doesn't make that cut when he's up against Hannibal, who is currently at his most powerful as puppeteer of this play. Will also challenged Chilton about Hannibal's methods in treating him, but surely Will had to know Chilton would report back to Hannibal? Chilton seems as suspicious of Hannibal as is deserved, but since the two are in cahoots, he chooses to suggest a pact of silence. On the other hand, Beverly's demotion to a character without much sense made her a lacking ally moving forward. Bye, Beverly.ДЄssuming Beverly is dead, it looks like Will has lost not only his voice in the current cases (and his knowledge of the crimes, which helps him pin the blame on Hannibal), but also someone willing to look into it. What happened to the promising character from Season One? Worse, she now apparently lacks all common sense, breaking into a potentially extremely deadly killer's house and - having clearly never watched a horror film in her life - goes into his basement of death, lingering around his horror show long enough for him to appear, shuffling away in the darkness with something sharp as she shoots into the void. Without any original ideas to speak of, one wonders about her place on the team in the first place. She couldn't speak to Jack of Hannibal or anyone about the facts she was consulting Will on, without them calling her out on her repetition. It's unfortunate that Beverly, who started out as such as strong and outspoken character, so quickly became reduced to Will's parrot. Was it so necessary to do it in that moment that she couldn't wait for her other cohorts to return from the bee man case? When there's even a shadow of suspicion that Hannibal could be the perpetrator, why involve him further and taunt him? You won't win that game. Naturally, Beverly decides to invite Hannibal along for the autopsy. Will wasted no time in directing Beverly to where and how she could find clues to implicate Hannibal in the crimes, though, starting with the color palette killer. Last week, Hannibal reset things by keeping Will off of death row (for now), and establishing that he means enough to him to keep around.
