I like to think that Bryan Fuller; the shows creator, has the balls to take the series down another road, continuity be damned. But I can't buy that Will Graham killed Freddie Lounds and then served her up on a platter to feed not only himself, but Hannibal. This has to be some kind of set-up that Will and Freddie have "cooked" up to lure Hannibal into a false sense of security, to reveal his true nature to the world: Proof. She agrees to participate in this trap and obviously her reward would be an exclusive intereview after the fact. Like I said, Will killing and then eating Freddie is a bit hard to "swallow". Still a great episode, one that introduces Mason Verger (last seen in the movie Hannibal, as portrayed by Gary Oldman). Bonus points for getting Michael Pitt for the role.
