HANNIBAL S03E05 – CONTORNO
In the Contonto, the fifth installment in Hannibal’s third season, things get a bit twisted.  This makes sense, since reciprocity is the theme driving this episode.  The players that have been orbiting the black hole that is Hannibal are drawing nearer to him and in doing so may collide with one another or get sucked into oblivion – as we see with one individual this week.  This doesn't mean that Hannibal still has the upper hand because, as everyone swirls closer to him, it’s only natural that things begin to spin out of control.  Listen to Jamie and Jenny discuss how they thought things unravelled this week and just how twisted they think things will become.
Contorno Recap
The episode opens with Will and Chiyo traveling by train to Florence because of Will’s hunch about Hannibal’s love of Botticelli.  They discuss Hannibal’s nature and what he means to them.  It starts to become clear they that may not be on the same page.

Back in Florence, Hannibal and Bedelia have a discussion about Hannibal’s fate as they both know that Will is swirling closer in orbit and could very well be on his way to Florence to kill Hannibal.  Bedelia also points out that Hannibal intends to kill Will, which reinforces this episode’s theme of reciprocity.

Jack spreads Bella’s ashes and discards his wedding ring.  It appears that he has not let Hannibal go, as he told Dr. Chilton a few episodes ago.  He was letting Bella go so that he may continue his search for Hannibal.  He has dinner with Pazzi and his wife and warns Pazzi of the path he is going down as he went down it himself and it led nowhere.  Pazzi tells Jack that he wants the glory of catching Hannibal because of what Hannibal did to his career twenty years prior.

Alana Bloom reveals her investigative skills to Mason Verger this week as she recounts the purchases Bedelia has been making for Hannibal over the past three months.

Pazzi meets Lecter at the Capponi Library to probe him for information about the two missing men that worked at the Library.  Lecter knows that, since Pazzi did not come with other police, he is going to sell him to Mason.  Pazzi does ultimately decide to sell Lector to Mason after a phone call and video conference.  During the video conference Mason informs Pazzi that he will need Lecter’s fingerprint to verify that it is him.

Back on the train, Will awakes at night to find that Chiyo has gone outside to the back of the train.  They have a discussion about Hannibal and how he influences people and Chiyo alludes to possibly having been seduced by Hannibal in the past as she kisses Will.  She throws him off the train just after the kiss.  She either wants to be with Hannibal or she wants to be the one to kill him.

Pazzi returns to Hannibal with a relic as a gift.  He uses this visit as an excuse to try and get a fingerprint from Hannibal.  This doesn’t turn out so well for Pazzi, as he ends up hanging with his guts out just like his ancestor.  Jack sees Hannibal do this to Pazzi and rushed into the library.  This is when Jack reciprocates the beat down that Hannibal gave him last year in the season two closer.  The episode ends with Hannibal slithering down the body of Pazzi and running to escape Jack.
