Hold back the tears, take a deep breath and lets do this Fannibals…as we, The Fine Young Hannibals, John and Irene, joined by Derek (our editor-in-chief), explore the glorious roller coaster of a ride that was our Hannibal The Wrath of the Lamb Podcast Season 3 Episode 13 . We discuss all things Hannibal as we move from the Tableau to the Table and everything in between for the Hannibal grand finale…and what a finale we were given! We discuss the misdirect, bluffs, plans, counter plans, twists and double crosses in this amazingly fitting and complex end to Hannibal. We talk all about that incredible team up by Hannibal and Will as they overpower the Great Red Dragon; followed by that post-murderous and bloody embrace; followed by the plunge over the edge, which is in turn followed by that fabulously debatable post-credit scene with Bedilia…all wrapped up in the perfectly apt and flowing music track “Love Crime”by Siouxsie Sioux and Brian Reitzell. We really enjoyed the episode a great deal and what more can we say except…Do you know who you’ve invited for dinner?!

Hannibal The Wrath of the Lamb Podcast Season 3 Episode 13 – Synopsis
Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) stages his suicide, allowing Reba to escape the wrath of the Red Dragon under the belief that he is dead, and to throw the FBI off his scent. But Dolarhyde has other plans to meet with and kill Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) as he ambushes Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) demanding that he leads him to Lecter. Will, however, has grand plans of his own as he seemingly hatches a plan with the knowledge of Jack Crawford and Alanna Bloom to capture (or is that slay) Francis Dolarhyde, using Hannibal Lecter in his ploy. After Hannibal has agreed to draw out Dolarhyde following a visit by Graham, counter plans are drawn up by Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) to kill both Lecter and Francis once they are caught. But the truth is revealed to Bedilia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) where Will reveals his true intentions of aiding Lecter’s actual escape and joining him. Bedilia, whiskey in hand, voices her own self-interested concerns about the perilous plan as Will continues his unknown game with Hannibal. As the plan is implemented, Dolarhyde ambushes the convoy leaving Will and Hannibal to flee to a cliff-side house where hannibal had previously kept Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) and Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky). Dolarhyde follows them to the house, where the final amazing showdown takes place and the wrath of the lamb is released from Will as he faces his darkest fears as he too becomes a killer. Working together Graham and Lecter overpower Dolarhyde and kill him. Both soaked in his blood, Graham embraces Lecter, and then pulls them both over the cliff to ambiguous fates. Post-credits – Du Maurier sits alone at a table set for three people. Her own left leg is severed, cooked and prepared, much like Abel Gideon’s (Eddie Izzard), as she waits for her guests to arrive and dine.
