I find it inconceivable that Margot would be able to truly be a good parent to a baby she knew was conceived with Mason’s sperm.

I think she would always be monitoring that kid for signs they were taking after their biological father, and the scrutinizing their every move.

It would be miserable for her, and miserable for the kid.

The idea she would put herself, and a child, in that position is horrifying to me.

I think I agree with this especially because her reasoning to have a baby was to inherit the Verger fortune. The fact that it will have her brother's DNA is the cherry on top.

And this is an issue with all the characters. Their reasoning to have children is broken. Hannibal sees a child as a tool to trap Will or as an extension of Will. Will (we discussed this with lamb in a previous post) would see the child as the worst version of himself and would be obsessed with the thought that the child would turn out to be crazy.

"Is that so?" Hannibal asked, aware that Will was not referring to his suits literally. He had, after all, offered many times to introduce him to some very lovely tailors. Each time he had been met with a polite refusal.

There's something about the way Hannibal says "Love" so plainly and immediately because that's truly what it is. The way he just breathes it out almost like a sigh, "Love," like he adores just saying the word when it comes in the context of Will. And the way the notes of the piano punctuate his words... It's said plain and simple, but in reality it carries so much weight.

It carries the weight of their entire relationship prior to this- betrayal and forgiveness and all... "bones and all." Loving Will gives Hannibal great joy, but it has also caused him great sorrow. Here Hannibal acknowledges that his love for Will is "beyond his conscious ability to control or predict," which mirrors his words from earlier in the episode:

"You cannot control with respect to whom you fall in love."

This scene has always stood out to me, and it's still one of my favorite moments. When I was doing my anniversary post series and came up with the idea to do the quotes for each episode, what I immediately thought of was this-

"Love. He pays you a visit or he doesn't."

I think it's safe to say Love has certainly paid Hannibal Lecter a visit.

Will falls asleep in 5 minutes on the passenger seat

Hannibal has only opera and classical music CDs so Will keeps switching radio channels until he finds country music to Hannibal's horror

Will buys snacks from the gas stations

If it's a long drive they decide to do half half so the other can get some rest but Hannibal ends up insisting he can do all of it just because he enjoys watching Will sleeping

Will feeds Hannibal snacks while he is driving and Hannibal usually hates snacks especially from gas stations but Will is feeding him and he has the opportunity to bite his fingers so he sacrifices his fancy palette

Will gets snacks but forgets he also needs to pee so they have to stop at the next gas station again

They end up playing car games such as "last letter first" and Hannibal comes up with the most insane words ever just to flex while Will is like "apple" or "tree" and then when Hannibal the least expects it he says "Pulchritudinous"

Will is a bit more reckless when driving, does some maneuvers that make Hannibal go "Will, darling, you seem to be convinced we have seven lives."

They both enjoy showing things outside to the other. Will would point out the horses and bunnies while Hannibal would point out the pretty houses

When they play "I spy with my eye" Hannibal always starts with "The most handsome man on earth" making Will squirm.

Hannibal enjoys country music when Will is humming to it

If Hannibal is driving he has his little roadtrip habits especially if he is with Will. "There is a folder on the backseats. Can you reach it? I made a list of restaurants we can eat at. Choose whichever you like, I did some research." "A folder, Hannibal? Research on what? How many Michelin restaurants you can find in the same area?" "Yes."

Hannibal ends up freezing because Will has the AC on at all times

If they have a flat tire Will does all the work in like 10 minutes so that Hannibal doesn't get his suit dirty

Hannibal rests his right hand on Will's leg

Idk maybe when Will rejected Hannibal and Hannibal hesitated for a second before leaving as if he was debating whether he could insist some more but he decided it wouldn't change a thing
