After spending "Hannibal" season 3 premiere focused on Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and his time in Europe together with Dr. Bedelia du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), the next episode finally feature two other main characters.
Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) resurfaced last week. However, only one of them is alive. Abigail accompanying Will in Italy was all but the latter's delusion.
While it is a delight to see Will again, where are the other guys? Where is Agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and Dr. Alana Bloom (Carol Dhavernas)?
According to a "Hannibal" season 3 episode guide from series creator Bryan Fuller, the FBI boss will appear this week. In fact, he will develop a professional relationship with Dr. Rinaldo Pazzi who handles the case vs Lecter in Italy.
"Really, the relationship we're going to explore more fully is with Pazzi and Jack Crawford," Fuller said when asked by The Hollywood Reporter about Will's working relationship with Pazzi.
"We hint at a connection with Will and Pazzi, but they're adversarial in a way. The greater connection comes between Jack Crawford and Rinaldo Pazzi; both are detectives who have lost Hannibal Lecter in some form or another in their investigations and are now looking to find him again. The greater part of that story is about connecting to Jack and what those two men as detectives have to learn from each other."
Fuller was pressed to confirm if Jack Crawford is alive but he only answered,
"In episode three we'll find out if Jack is alive. It will all become a little bit clearer."
The interviewer has to ask twice because in the last "Hannibal" season 3 episode, audiences were forced to believe Abigail Hobbs is alive, especially in the scene where she was present while Will was talking to a priest who seems to have noticed her. In the end, it is revealed that the teen was just a product of Will Graham's unfit mental state.
Read the "Hannibal" season 3 episode guide below for "Secondo" which will air on June 21.
"Will Graham continues his search for Hannibal Lecter, making his way to Hannibal's childhood home in Lithuania. Once there he meets the mysterious Chiyoh (Tao Okamoto), former attendant to Hannibal's aunt. Meanwhile, Jack Crawford arrives in Italy, hoping to find Will and intervene before tragedy strikes again, and Bedelia warns Hannibal against unraveling his new life."
