Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) will find himself facing Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) again in the upcoming episode of NBC's psychological thriller-horror series.
In "And the Woman Clothed With the Sun," Cartermatt reports that the gifted criminal profiler will be forced to enlist Lecter's help to catch the new serial killer. The FBI's search for the elusive Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) will be put into high gear with Will at the helm, as he envisions himself into the devil's psyche.
Meanwhile, Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) will remind him of what happened the last time he and the forensic psychiatrist worked together. But as he is left with no options, Will will decide to push through with the plan. Elsewhere, Dolarhyde will meet a new woman (guest star Rutina Wesley). Could she be the person the episode title is pointing to?
Last episode, the killer named "The Great Red Dragon" was introduced. Dolarhyde's transformation was triggered after seeing William Blake's painting featured in TIME magazine. Not a single word was uttered in the first 43 minutes of the episode, giving the scene a dark and torturous setting.
Dolarhyde then went on to kill the Leeds family, taking care to put them on display to show the viewers how twisted he was and could be. Before leaving, the killer placed polished glass on the mother's eyes and mouth, leaving much for the authorities to ponder.
Meanwhile, Will was already happy with his FBI-free life with his wife Molly Foster (Nina Arianda) and their stepson, until Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) paid him a visit to ask his help in the new investigation. He did not want to return to his old life, but Molly convinced him to give it a try. When he finally decided to take on the task of investigating the recent massacre, he realized that he needed Lecter's help to crack down the riddle left by the killer.
"Hannibal" airs on Thursday at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.
