Synopsis
An unnerving bout of sleepwalking ends with Will walking down a deserted stretch of Northern Virginia back road in the middle of the night proves serious enough for Will to visit Dr Lecter . Hannibal thinks this new disorder in Will is an offshoot of post-traumatic stress, from his recent emotionally intensive cases. Jack Crawford, in Dr. Lecter's eyes, hasn't been the most scrupulous boss when it comes to handling Will's expertise, and it's beginning to take its toll...
Will and Jack are called to a grisly motel murder scene. Inside a room registered to "John Smith," Will finds two
murdered bodies - a naked man and woman - displayed with fishing wire at the foot of the bed. They're both in a traditional prayer position, and the flesh on their backs has been mutilated and hung to look like wings. The murderer slept in the bed after committing his crime and threw up on the nightstand before leaving. Will asks for a plastic sheet and prepares to get inside the mind of this madman.
Later, Jack Crawford and his wife Bella share a beautifully crafted meal at Hannibal's house. When Hannibal delivers a foie gras course, Bella politely declines on account of her moral stance against the dish's cruelty. Hannibal assures her that he is staunchly opposed to animal cruelty, as it's one of the first signs of a sociopath. No, Hannibal Lecter prefers ethical butchery.
At the Quantico forensics room, Beverly Katz and Brian Zeller attempt to figure
out the motives behind this murderer's positioning of his victims. They assume he wanted to feel like God, but Will suspects something else. After running a test on the man's vomit, forensics finds signs of steroids and anti-convulsants. The vomit was from radiation - the murderer has brain cancer. Will now knows, this killer fears death and makes angels out of his victims to pray over him while he sleeps.
Bella Crawford makes an appointment with Hannibal Lecter and questions whether she should be seeing someone so close to her husband . Her affirmative responses to his questions seem to imply she's having an affair, but she has no intention of telling Jack. As Hannibal prods, Bella says Jack is so stressed out with his work, he can't spend time thinking about her. She half-jokingly suggests Hannibal be their couples' counselor, but it's his turn to remark he's too close to Jack.
Jack Crawford knows things aren't alright between his wife and him, and when she comes home late, he tries to air out the problems in their relationships; Bella would rather not, she's just overwhelmed with work - that's all. Jack suspects there is someone else, but doesn't insult her by positing the question. He simply says he loves her, and though racked with guilt, Bella returns his affirmations.
ls Jack to find his own answers. Hannibal's influence is affecting Will.
Back in forensics, Beverly Katz tell Will she's never seen anyone confront Jack like he did in Cleveland. She wonders if he's all right, but Will continues to mask his emotions. The demands of his job are damaging Will's psyche, but he'd rather not reveal that information to his coworkers. Jimmy Price comes in with some interesting information: the first two victims were wanted criminals, one for rape and the other for watching. This killer is carefully choosing his victims; he thinks he's doing God's work.
Bella visits Hannibal again, informing him of Jack's recent suspicions of her infidelity. Hannibal finds Bella a tough one to crack, and things become more complicated when she admits the lung cancer spreading in her body. Bella knows the cancer is pulling her away from her husband, and in a way, hopes her distance might lessen the blow when she passes. Hannibal sees Bella as doubling the eventual pain for Jack, a man who's loved her for so long. Their relationship may be eroding and Bella may have cancer, but Dr Lecter doesn't know if it's fair to place the blame on Jack.
Elliot falls to the ground, and stammers to say, "I see what you are, and I can bring it out of you." Will places his hand on his gun and then snaps out of his hallucination. Elliot's body is still hanging from the rafters.
At FBI headquarters, Will pays Jack a visit in his office. Will sits down and says he's not going anywhere until Jack is ready to talk. Jack and Will sit together in silence, pondering their work and its effect on their personal lives. Will's psyche may be irreparably damaged in search of this Chesapeake River Ripper, and Jack's been so busy he only just found out about his wife's terminal cancer. Together they sit in silence, weighing the value and necessity of their work...
- The episode's title, Coquilles, is the French word for an "oyster shell."
- Will mentions that the killer thinks he is 'Transforming' his victims, a term that Francis Dolarhyde uses to describe what he does to his victims.
- Lecter smells Graham and mentions aftershave with a ship on the bottle in reference to a conversation between the two in the movie and the book "Red Dragon."
- Will's hallucination of Angel-Maker oddly appears to show his empathy gift accurately interpreted the real Angel-Makers hallucination of flames around bad peoples faces.
Foie gras, Fuller and Andres' collaboration goes far beyond the dishes Hannibal
serves to his unwitting guests. In addition to selecting wines and even providing a signed copy of famed French culinary guide Escoffier to use as a prop, Andres gives crucial input to help shape the dialogue and inspired a conversation about foie gras, a delicacy that requires the force-feeding of ducks and geese to create a fattier (and tastier) liver. "In [the script for Episode 4], I suggested that one of the talks had to happen to show how food-intellectual Hannibal was," Andres said. "You know, bringing the conversation about, 'Is foie gras humane or inhumane?'" Though he added that when discussing human foie gras, "the answer is obvious."Season 1 Episodes | |||||||||
