As she points out to Jack, she has the longest standing relationship with Hannibal, and is thus the least likely to give up her image of him as a mentor and colleague. Meanwhile, Alana is pushed even further away from her former love interest. Between WillвЂ™s repeated accusations and an exchange with Abel recorded by Chilton, JackвЂ™s finally ready to give WillвЂ™s theory about Dr. The camera work of their exchange in the hospital shows this nicely: Will is static, staring straight ahead, while Jack is filmed constantly in motion, often through multiple layers of constricting iron bars. Jack, the most discomfited by WillвЂ™s downward spiral, provides a nice foil in his confusion to WillвЂ™s dead certainty. вЂњCannibalism is an act of dominance,вЂќ Chilton observes, and this was an episode where Hannibal reasserted control: over Alana, over Gideon, and over the narrative of the Chesapeake Ripper.ДЄlana, Jack, and Hannibal all realize that Will put the orderly up to his grisly mock-crucifixion each responds to it in different ways. But вЂњFutamonoвЂќ was the episode where Hannibal regained the upper hand.

He successfully manipulated Chilton into bringing back Abel Gideon ditto to the orderly he convinced to do the dirty work of murdering Hannibal. A recurring theme in вЂњFutamonoвЂќ is the paradoxical fact that even though heвЂ™s behind bars, Will Graham now has more control than he ever did once he was free.
