[ID: Mid-episode, a lost-in-fugue-state Will misses his therapy appointment with Hannibal. "Lacrimosa" from Mozart's Requiem plays as Hannibal looks at his closed office door, paces the room, and finally sits at his desk, appointment book open to the entry "Will Graham." "Lacrimosa," for those of us not educated in classical ecclesial music, takes its name from the Virgin Mary's title "Our Lady of Sorrows," used by Church teachings to connote her time grieving the death of her son Jesus Christ. The mismatch between the cosmic drama of the music and the decidedly down-to-earth nature of Hannibal's disappointment comes with hysterical results. Hannibal Lecter, monster, longs for a mortal man. /end ID]

When he smells Freddie Lounds on Will Graham, Mads’ performance is so struck in that moment because Hannibal was convinced. Will’s plan succeeded; he absolutely seduced Hannibal Lecter. That’s part of it for Hannibal. “You tricked me, and I allowed myself to be tricked.” The other part was just the devastating loss of the friendship. - Bryan Fuller
