NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ season 3 spoilers: The meaning, story of ‘Contorno’
“Hannibal” has a tendency to try to make you hungry with its episode titles, or at least they do for a split second until you remember that this is a show all about a guy eating human flesh. Oh, the trickery! “Contorno” is the title of the upcoming fifth episode of the season, and really have that there are only going to be two more installments in this whole Hannibal-in-Europe arc that makes up the first half of the season. From here, it feels like we will then be going more into Red Dragon as the primary source material.
Are you curious now to get some of the latest official details via NBC? Then our suggestion is to simply take a look right now at the synopsis, which makes it very clear that in this episode, almost every primary character will be involved. That’s a little different than what we have seen as of late:
“Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and Inspector Pazzi (guest star Fortunato Cerlino) search for clues that will lead them closer to Hannibal Lecter’s (Mads Mikkelsen) location in Florence, but the promise of riches offered by Mason Verger (guest star Joe Anderson) threatens to corrupt Pazzi’s quest for redemption. Meanwhile, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Chiyoh (Tao Okamoto) travel to Florence, both on a mission to find Hannibal, but at odds over the desired outcome. Elsewhere, as Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) continues to work with Mason Verger she grows concerned for the safety of all involved.”
To us, the thing that we are at the moment the most concerned about still is whether or not the new Mason Verger is going to be able to bring everything to the tale that Michael Pitt did. We have faith in Anderson, but recasting roles is always risky, especially with someone so iconic.
