Another stellar episode that proved to be Epic by the end. I'm amazed that the writers are very consistent with top shelf stories and this one is no different. A couple of stomach churning moments that will make you want to vomit. One is obvious, the other...not so much. Alana sleeping with Hannibal is at the top. It defies logic that she would end up sleeping with him of all people. We know that he slept with her to use her as his alibi. But what reason does she have, other than "funeral sex". She seems to be falling for him, which is just odd given the fact that she hears nothing but him being the Ripper. The other gag inducing moment is of course Gideon literally eating his own leg. Unlike Ray Liotta's character in the movie Hannibal, in which he was drugged and impaired and not aware that he was eating his own brain, Gideon wasn't going to let himself go to waste. How does one top this? How about having Jack Crawford finding Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky) who we all thought long gone as another victim of the Ripper.
