NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ season 2, episode 5 preview: Is Beverly’s fate revealed? Read on…

At the end of Friday night’s “Hannibal” season 2 episode, the fate of a certain Beverly was not looking particularly great. She was in an extremely dangerous situation, and it appeared as though there was no alternate way out for her on the horizon.

On many other shows out there, you still have hope that this person can find a way to emerge from a crisis situation together and in one piece … but not so much this show. Dr. Lecter is just too good, and Beverly’s knowledge at this point is too much that she could ruin him. So in reading the synopsis for next week’s new episode “Muzozuke,” it looks pretty obvious just how Mads Mikkelsen’s character plans to do away with her:

“When one of the team’s own is found in a grotesque tableau,Will volunteers to assist with the profile and informs Jack that it’s the work of the Chesapeake Ripper and the Copycat Killer… the two are one and the same. Dr. Able Gideon is brought back to the asylum to help confirm Will’s claims of the Ripper’s true identity, but instead suggests to Will the idea of putting an end to the Ripper once and for all. Confined behind bars, Will enlists the help of Freddie Lounds to contact his murderous admirer through her website. Once he has the killer’s attention, Will asks for help dealing with Hannibal. Alana becomes suspicious of Will’s intentions after reading Freddie’s article, and Gideon confirms her suspicions, sending Alana and Jack rushing to find Hannibal before it’s too late.”

As for our weekly edition of “what does the title mean,” this time around we are referring to a serving dish seemingly more so than an actual food product. The name is still of Asian origin, which puts it in line with everything else this season.
