After Chilton teamed up with Will (Hugh Dancy) for a magazine interview to draw Francis out, it backfired when Francis kidnapped Chilton.

Check out images from the Hannibal finale in the gallery below. Creator and showrunner Bryan Fuller has created an immersive and nightmarish universe in which his characters live, die, and kill while enjoying suspiciously decadent dinner parties.
However, Graham has been warned about what is at stake here by psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), which might be a risk to his own family.
However, as she was speaking, Dolarhyde then told her, “I am the dragon”, indicating that Will and Chilton may be directing their focus on capturing the Red Dragon instead of worrying about a confined Hannibal.
For now, let’s just look at the promo below through the lens of the past five episodes, which have been all about the Great Red Dragon. After a few episodes, even the biggest scaredy cats will be mesmerized by the odd, grotesque beauty of Fuller’s creation: A bird’s-eye view of bodies in a carefully arranged murder tableau nearly resembles a renaissance painting; a master musician-cum-murderer turns his victims’ guts into strings and their bodies into cellos so he can literally find the music within them; a dead person isn’t found hanging from a tree, he becomes the tree. And Dolarhyde himself may be in near-perfect physical shape, but Armitage plays him with a brutality and barely repressed violence that’s miles away from Mikkelsen’s permanent mask of mild amusement.
According to Christian Today, the official synopsis for the season finale reveals that Will has a plan in mind and it will involve using Hannibal as bait.

Hannibal has never spent this amount of time and attention on a killer whose name isn’t in the title sequence. “Because the finale ends in a way that the show could lie fallow for a couple of years”. Still, some constants remain: if Hannibal is the devil, it’s only fitting that his show is ending with a character who takes his inspiration from the Book of Revelation.
