Well, we finally get the answer about Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and his fate. He's alive and well and on the hunt for......Will. When he says that he wasn't looking for Hannibal, but Will instead, I just figured he was in Italy to offer him some kind of support. It wasn't until the end when we see Will displaying that Guy up as a Butterfly, the same way that Hannibal does his own victims, that it dawned on me that Will has gone to the dark side. We all knew he had it inside of him to do that, which is what makes him a great profiler.

I've heard the criticism by a few people complaining that nothing much has happened in the first 3 episodes and I'm sure there will be a handful of people b*tching and mooning the same about tonight's episode as well. I won't be one of them. I thought this was a fantastic episode and we finally get the proper conclusion to what happened at the end of last season. Not only do we get some closure about what happened to both Jack and Alana.....yes, she's very much alive and hell-bent on revenge. But we also get much needed information in the 8 months that has passed from the end of last season and the start of this one. This episode goes a long way to clearing up motivations for all the characters, which was kind of hard to pinpoint in the first 3 episodes. We also get a couple of surprises with Mason Verger as well as Dr. Chilton. Yep, he's alive too. Really wasn't sure if they killed him off, but figured they would have to keep him alive because he does play an important role in Silence of the Lambs.

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! This was one seriously deliciously f*cked up episode. Pun intended. It also comes with a great twist at the end that I never knew existed. Not sure if it was in the book or not, but it makes perfect sense. More on that later. First I gotta talk about Joe Anderson and his brilliant, scene-chewing (pun intended) turn as Mason Verger. He has been great all season long, but this episode is where he goes above and beyond. You can tell that Joe had a lot of fun playing the character. Since this is Mason's swan song episode, it was only fitting that he got most of the lines here tonight. His death scene by an eel was.....crazy. Talk about a f*cked up family. Probably the most disturbing thing in tonights episode was the discovery that he had rigged up a pig as a surrogate to breed his unborn child, using his sisters eggs. Yeah, f*cked up doesn't even begin to describe it and this tops the whole face transplant scene to boot!

For 3 seasons, we have been given the ultimate bromance story-line involving Will and Hannibal and by the end of this episode, Will has had enough and just wants Hannibal gone once and for all and proceeds to "break up" with him. So, what does Hannibal do? Why he surrenders to Crawford and sets the stage for a life behind a glass wall. He does this so that Will will always know where Hannibal is. Talk about taking back the "break up" and sticking it to Will and not giving him the clean break he wants for his sanity. Curious if this was mentioned in the book. I've seen all the movies, but I have never read any of the books and I can't recall this ever being mentioned in any of the films,
