NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ season 1 finale spoilers: First look at ‘Savoureux’
You’ve been watching this story build all season long, but next Thursday, “Hannibal” is going to come to a close on NBC after a thrilling first season on the air. It’s a show that has produced a high quality of work, at least some that certainly deserves a little bit more in the way of viewership than it has received as of late.
So first of all, let’s take a look at the actual title for the episode: “Savoureux.” What does it mean? In translating it from French to English, the word basically means “tasty” or “delicious,” or you could say “savory” being that this is the most literal translation of the group. As for why this word is used, we have to say that the Hannibal character is probably involved in something like that.
For more details, just take a look at the official synopsis via NBC, which suggests that Will is going to really have to fight for both his innocence and his life:
“Suspicions rise about Will being a killer when he returns from Minnesota without Abigail and evidence ties him to murder. Will is soon arrested, then plots an escape and goes to desperate extremes to prove his innocence.”
While the good news here is that we already know the show is coming back for a second season, we don’t know when that will be. Our guess is that it will be another late spring / earlier summer series, since it is not on the fall or the mid-season schedule at the moment.

I’ve been wondering how on earth Will would be able to clear his name without Hannibal being implicated. Not that Hannibal doesn’t deserve to rot in jail for all he’s done, I’m just not ready for that yet. He’s too “delicious” to watch out and about–I really don’t want him incarcerated just yet. On the other hand, I would like to see Will’s name cleared as soon as possible. (Poor boy has suffered enough)
So, we need a scapegoat. If we don’t want Will to serve time for crimes he didn’t commit but we’re not ready to let go of the whole secret serial killer dynamic, the finger has to be pointed to someone else as the killer of Abigail and the copycat murders. I think Freddie Lounds fits the bill. I could see Hannibal framing her for all of the copycat crimes and planting evidence that suggests that she’s behind framing Will.
Yeah, I know he’s already framed Will, but I think he’d prefer to have a chance to mess more with Will’s head without either of them being behind bars. Besides, if he suddenly appeared to be Will’s champion and cleverly manipulated evidence and attitudes to implicate Ms. Lounds, Will would be grateful and it would deflect some of Will’s growing suspicion of him. Plus, we already know that Hannibal finds her rude. This would be an elegant way to get back at her.
I think it would pretty easy to implicate Ms. Lounds. She’s already established herself as an expert on Garrett Jacob Hobbs murders, her hair was left at the site of at least one crime scene. She certainly had opportunity. She’s made no secret of her dislike for Will, so she has motive. I think her efforts to clear her name from prison would be far more entertaining that locking up our boys. She could write a special column about her quest for freedom for TattleCrime. (‘zat the name?)
Okay, so I’m grasping at straws. I just don’t want Will to hurt anymore. He needs to get home to his dogs.
