So, now the question: Did Hannibal kill and eat his younger sister Mischa? Was she his first victim? This is the major overarching discussion of this third episode of Hannibal's third season. Cooper is a bit exhausted by the slowness and didn't initially like the episode. Miko & Ophilia are a bit more on board thanks to firefly symbolism. Jack Crawford makes his way to Italy, Will heads to “the place Hannibal can never go,” visiting Stately Lector Manor in Lithuania and meeting Chiyoh, the new addition to the cast, and Hannibal does a lot of entertaining, and some stabbing.

This was not the first obviously human meat Hannibal has prepared. The muralist’s leg in season 2 is.
I heard from genufa that “nakama” means comrade, one who is reliably on your side, and is thus incompatible with the betrayal & bad blood between Will & Hannibal. Can Miko chime in on that?
Chiyoh’s account had nothing to suggest Hannibal didn’t want to get his hands dirty. He wanted to kill the man, but Chiyoh wouldn’t let him.
Marlowe punished Faust, Goethe let him off.
Rashomon storytelling generally indicates different conflicting perspectives on an event, with none of them clearly more accurate than others.
The man in the dungeon is talking to Will in Lithuanian (with quite an accent), he is telling him something like “talk to me, please talk to me, she never talks to me”
