Hannibal - S3E10 - And the Woman Clothed in the Sun Part II
Soul searching and introspection were the dishes that Fuller and crew were serving up this week for Fannibals.  Francis Dolarhyde was searching for Hannibal's attention but had a change of heart and was looking to stop his “becoming.”  Will was looking inward to make sense of everything that happened with Hannibal and sought out the help of Dr. Du Maurier since they both had similar experiences.  What he found was that their natures are completely different.  Jamie and Jenny try and make sense of this episode and do their own soul searching, since their time with Hannibal is coming to a close.

And the Woman Clothed in Sun Part II Recap

The second half of “And the Woman Clothed in the Sun” begins with Dolarhyde finding his way to Hannibal’s office and using some fancy technology to call Hannibal in prison.  We get to see the other half of the conversation that ended the last episode, and discover that this shy boy has a very active imagination, just like Will and Hannibal.

Will, looking to make sense of everything, visits Bedelia while she is giving a lecture about her time with Hannibal.  After a very feisty exchange, Will tells her he needs to talk to her. She responds by telling him to make an appointment.

Dolarhyde surprises Reba McClain by taking her to the zoo to pet a tiger which has been put to sleep in preparation for oral surgery.  This moves Reba so much she goes back to Dolarhyde’s house and spends the night there.  The morning after, fearing that Reba may have found his scrapbook, Dolarhyde takes her home in order to protect who he is becoming.

Hannibal does a little phone freaking himself as a scene directly lifted from the books plays out.  He calls Dr. Chilton’s office in order to get Will’s home address. What will he being doing with this information?

The meat of the episode comes when Will finally has his session with Bedelia. He’s looking for answers as to why she reacted differently to her time with Hannibal than he himself did.  Through flashbacks we see the patient Hannibal referred to Bedelia, Neal Frank, during his sessions with her.  It’s revealed that Hannibal was doing similar things to Neal as he’d done to Will, and Neal was expressing his concerns to Bedelia.  Bedelia was dismissive of Neal’s concerns which eventually caused him to choke on his own tongue.  Bedelia shoved her hand down his throat to suffocate him.  During her session with Will, Bedelia tells Will it’s in his nature to help those that are needy and it’s in her nature to put them out of their misery.

Will meets with Hannibal again to discuss Dolarhyde and Hannibal tips Will off to The Great Red Dragon painting in order to point Will in the right direction.

After his night with Reba, Dolarhyde decides to try and stop his “becoming.” In order to do this he uses a fake identity to get into the Brooklyn Museum in order to see the original Great Red Dragon watercolor.  Once there, he eats the painting in order to stop the monster from transforming him.  Will arrives at the museum just after Dolarhyde and finds him in the elevator.  Will is attacked by Dolarhyde, giving him enough time to escape.
