Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) use his trump card to get to Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) in the upcoming episode of NBC's psychological thriller-horror series?
In "The Wrath of the Lamb," Cartermatt reports that the criminal profiler will device a cunning plan to flush the serial killer out of hiding. He will use Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), the only man whom Dolarhyde appears to feel a certain connection with, as bait. Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) will caution Will on his plan, arguing that he is putting his life at risk, as well as those around him.
Will, however, is determined to end this once and for all, even if it means coming face-to-face with his own darkest fears. Will he really be able to sacrifice Lecter, when it is obvious he is still under the latter's power? The connection between them is as strong as ever, perhaps more so now that they are in close proximity with each other. Will the criminal profiler's attraction to Lecter ultimately lead him to his own destruction?
Last episode, Will's plan to trap the Dragon was unsuccessful. Dolarhyde killed Dr. Chilton (Raúl Esparza) and sent his burnt corpse back to the authorities. Will also pushed him to go deeper into his "transformation" and not even Reba (Rutina Wesley) could make him turn back to his humanity.
Before ending the doctor's life, remnants of Dolarhyde the man could still be seen in the Dragon. Seeing that Chilton, exposed to the cold, was suffering, he offered him a blanket. But that was the last time that the viewers had a glimpse of him, as the next instance, the Dragon consumed him whole. Chilton tried to appeal to Dolarhyde to set him free, but the Dragon just bit his lips off. The creature then torched Chilton.
Later on, it kidnapped Reba and although she could not see it, the Dragon wanted her to be exposed to its power. The blind woman could not believe that this was the same man who cared for her and showed her love, but Dolarhyde was no more. The Dragon then stood before her, with wings started breaking free from its back.
"Hannibal" airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.
