That actually all went way better than I was expecting! [I was expecting more blood and death. Guess that's for the last two episodes.]
• Dolarhyde's attack on the Graham house was really well done and was one of the tensest sequences on this show. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved it. Molly was amazing. Just completely badass. I love that she never once second guessed herself - she heard something wrong and immediately acted. She didn't panic, she acted smartly and came up with a good plan and then executed it perfectly.
• I loved how that last scene between Will and Hannibal was shot. Will surrounded by dark, Hannibal in light, the two of them standing almost as close to each other as they could. Lovely.
• The Molly/Will scene was great. I was really afraid that Molly would end up blaming Will. I saw a spoiler that had me ready for it but instead things were surprisingly good. They have a really good relationship, so much so that I'm actually a little sad that it's inevitably going to implode. She makes him smile and laugh, she's a genuinely good person, she shares his love for the dogs, she's supportive. They're lovely together. This is sad. Also I loved that she blamed Jack and just knew that it was Hannibal who was behind it all.
• "He has a family. Save yourself. Kill them all." - Hannibal. You giant DICK! He is the worst ex ever. I was pretty surprised when he just confessed straight out to Will that he'd sent Dolarhyde after his family.
• I found Molly really adorable during the vet scene, idk.
• Aw, of course Will makes the dog's food from scratch.
• "They're not my family Will. And I'm not letting them die - you are." - Hannibal. Damn. Hannibal you asshole. I think in a way this is worse than him sending Dolarhyde after Molly/Wally as far as his relationship with Will goes. Once again he's trying to make it all Will's fault (he totally had to kill Abigail because of Will, after all), he's setting up the building blocks for Will to blame himself when it happens, thus leaving him more vulnerable to Hannibal. He is the worst.
• Wally calling Will 'dad' (to his mom) made me aww but it made the Wally/Will scene at the hospital feel - off. If that hadn't been said, and thus all the closeness that it implied for Wally to call Will that, it probably wouldn't have bothered me so much. But we do get that implied closeness - I mean Will and Molly haven't been together that long and yet Wally feels comfortable calling him dad? So the weirdness between them at the hospital doesn't make much sense to me.
Why no hug or attempt at comfort when Will first arrived? Neither of them reaches out to the other. Why didn't Will explain about being framed and that's why he was locked away? Especially considering this is following him explaining to Wally that he's going to lock the man that attacked them away in a similar place. What even was that line about Wally 'feeling weird Will was in a mental hospital because he's married to Wally's mom'? Just... ??? Their scene didn't work for me.
• I liked the Will/Jack/Alana and Hannibal/Alana/Jack scenes. Alana taking all of Hannibal's things adds another point to my worry for her.
