NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ season 2, episode 10 preview: ‘Naka-Choko’ and Michael Pitt’s arrival

For all of you fans of “Boardwalk Empire,” Michael Pitt, or just the Mason Verger character from any previous works related to Hannibal Lecter, next week’s new “Hannibal” episode “Naka-Choko” could still qualify as can’t-miss TV. This is an opportunity to catch a fairly epic story regarding Margo and Mason, and also see just what happens next when it comes to the Randall Tier character. (We saw Will Graham do away with him on this past episode.)

The next should provide you with plenty of information about everything that you have witnessed with the show so far, but also a few things that clearly can be categorized into the “completely new” category. For example, get ready to see an author who could really start to unravel everything for Hannibal. Take a look at the synopsis below:

“The bond between Hannibal and Will grows after Will demonstrates his willingness to go to dark places, a shift that does not go unnoticed by Jack. Jack and the FBI team investigate a tableau made of Randal Tier (Mark O’Brien) and his animal exoskeleton, fully realized as the vicious hunter he yearned to be. Hannibal advises Margot Verger (Katherine Isabelle) regarding her concerns over her brother Mason’s violent nature, a fear that intensifies when Mason demonstrates how he has trained pigs to consume human flesh. Will agrees to an interview with Freddie Lounds (Lara Jean Chorostecki) for her upcoming book, and learns that she is looking into his allegations of Hannibal’s possible guilt.”

In the promo below, you can get an even greater sense of whether or not Will is coming a new monster. He has his own designs, and it is pretty clear that he is starting to give into his own bizarre, twisted brand of madness.
