DAPPER FIGHTING. BLOOD EVERYWHERE. WE’RE THREE SECONDS IN, JACK IS NEARLY DEAD AND HANNIBAL IS BUSTING THE PANTRY DOOR DOWN. WHAT THE HELL, BRYAN FULLER?
Oh, oh, okay. 12 weeks earlier. Everything is fine.
OH WAIT, NO IT’S NOT. Will gets hypnotised and remembers Hannibal forcing a bloody EAR down his THROAT.
EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY
2.02 Sakizuke
I REPEAT, EVERYTHING IS FUCKED TO HELL
This chappie here would rather jump off a cliff into the jaggedy rocks below than face the crazy motherfucker who put his ass in the messed up silo eye mural in the first place.
Hannibal goes and kills the silo motherfucker, and sews him into his own mural. That Hannibal, what is he like, eh?
Bedelia Du Maurier visits Will’s crazy ass in prison and tells him that she believes him. We all get goosebumps.
2.03 Hassun
Will goes to trial, the prosecution paints him as an intelligent psychopath, Jack admits he might have pushed him too far, blah blah blah, and Will’s lawyer gets a GODDAMN EAR IN THE POST.
The alleged Ear-Cut Killer Andrew Sykes gets into a spot of bother.
The judge also gets into a spot of bother.

2.05 Mukōzuke
Oh shiiiiit…
An orderly from the prison admits he killed Ear-Cut Killer Andrew Sykes and Will tells him to kill Hannibal, dun dun duuuuun. Hannibal has his shirt off: we cry of happiness. He is also dying: we cry of sadness. We are lusty and distraught.
Jack shoots the orderly. Hannibal’s shirt is still off.
2.06 Futamono
A local city councillor is SURGICALLY GRAFTED onto a TREE in a PARKING LOT. It’s really pretty but we feel a bit weird for thinking that.

FREDDIE IS BLOODY ALIVE! ALIVE! WILL PUNK’D HANNIBAL’S ASS
Will dangles Mason over the piggies. He spares him and Mason suggests Hannibal should be dangled over the piggies instead. No one wants to dangle Will over the piggies.
2.12 Tome-wan
Bedelia is always talking about how Hannibal saved her from a patient but actually it was SHE who killed the patient THIS WHOLE TIME.
Hannibal finally gets dangled over the piggies.
