Fandom: Hannibal (TV)
Current Canon Point: End of Season 1
Current Debt: 93 years, 4 months + 2 months
New Canon Point: End of Season 2
Debt Added: 36 years and 8 months
Summary of Events:
In some ways, Hannibal has changed since we saw him at the end of S1. During Will Graham's time in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane (BSHCI) he has come realize he misses the presence and companionship of the younger man. Inside, he continues to be the same man, bent on manipulating people for his own ends and not leaving behind his murderous tendencies. And until Chilton bars him from treating Will, he keeps on doing what he can to recover Will's friendship and trust.
During the first part of S2, Hannibal spends his time trying to use the people around himself and Will to free his friend from the ordeal he put him through. Jack and Beverly are important targets because they are the closest to Will and more importantly, ties to the FBI. He hopes one of them can provide evidence to save Will without exposing Hannibal's own crimes. Alana Bloom is also subject of the doctor's manipulations, in her case, because she wants to believe neither Will or Hannibal committed the murders, making her more receptive of the input Hannibal can give her. Other people he plays with include Dr. Abel Gideon, the man who was initially believed to be the Chesapeake Ripper, and Dr. Frederick Chilton, the director of the BSHCI.
With Jack and Alana, Hannibal is nearly successful in making them believe he has nothing to do with the murders he framed Will for, though he plays on both of their feelings for Will. The success is complete with Alana, as he manages to wrap her around his finger, to the point where she abandons Will in favor of the psychiatrist. Jack's case proved to be tougher, but he keeps the friendship with the FBI agent to divert his attention from the fact that Hannibal is the true Chesapeake Ripper and not Will, Abel Gideon or a random person.
The real problem for Hannibal comes when Beverly Katz and Frederick Chilton begin to understand that Will's accusations directed at him might be right. On one hand, Beverly begins to dig too deep into the Ripper's murders, to the point where she sneaks into the doctor's house. This forces Hannibal to take action, murdering her, displaying her body and eating her kidneys. Chilton, who begins to treat Will at the BSHCI, realizes the man might not be as insane as everyone thinks and starting to take him seriously. Needing someone to take Will's place in jail, Hannibal sets everything up to frame Chilton as the Ripper, including new murders, such as Abel Gideon. Ever practical, this strategy helps him kill two birds with one stone: getting rid of Chilton and releasing Will from prison.
The second part of the season focuses on the new relationship between Hannibal and Will. By now Hannibal knows Will is capable of falling into darkness, as he learned when Will sent a man to kill Hannibal. He also knows he has to work hard to regain the younger man's trust and later to freed the chrysalis that will eventually emerge as the "butterfly", in his mind, a new and darker Will.
Throughout this arc, we come to see the full extent of Hannibal's love for Will, however twisted it might be. The doctor's true goal is to make Graham into the perfect partner for him, the final piece of his perfect family. This is the reason why he needed to alienate Will's few friends away from him: he needs to be the center of the other man's life. It even comes to the point where Hannibal indirectly kills Will's unborn child, conceived by one of his most recent patients: Margot Verger.
Hannibal becomes so blinded by his own feelings, that he fails to realize that Will is manipulating him, finally having learned how to play the game with him. This is the reason that leads to his downfall at the end of S2. Only at the last minute, he realizes what Will Graham intended all alone. Having planned to run away with him and their 'adopted daughter', Abigail Hobbs, Hannibal must change his plans. His beloved has betrayed him, and for the doctor, the only way to severe the ties that held him to Will, he must kill him and those he loves.
Why this Canon Point?:
On the one hand, Hannibal will arrive with an even larger debt, due to the crimes he committed during the timespan of S2, including murders, manipulation of people, betrayals, among a few others. He will see Teleios as a 'safe haven' where the FBI can't find him. Unfortunately, he will have to deal with a Will Graham he no longer trusts, as well as with Abigail Hobbs (who also knows what he did). His CR out the cast will likely remain the same, still trying to hide his true self for a time, though he will no longer hide any of his past crimes from Will.
