History Heartwarming / Hannibal

* [[spoiler: During the dinner scene, and in a complete 180 from the novel. Despite what Paul Krendler has done, she still tries to save his life by offering to trade information to Lecter that could help him flee the country.]]

* Lecter [[spoiler: hurting himself rather than Clarice in order to get free]]

* The fact that, after years of abuse, homophobia, and being treated as TheUnfavorite her entire life, Margot actually ''wins''. [[spoiler:She ends the series with a son, the family fortune, and Mason dead. Oh, and she's HappilyMarried to Alana]]. Suck on ''that'', Verger family.

* Both heartwarming and tearjerking, [[spoiler:Will finally admitting that being -- and killing -- with Hannibal is beautiful, before the two embrace, followed by Will sending both of them over the cliff to stop both himself and Hannibal from killing anyone else, but also so they would die together.]]

* Every moment with Will and Molly counts. Whether or not you favor Hannibal and Will as a couple, it's hard to deny how Molly genuinely makes Will happy, how understanding she is of his situation and his past with Hannibal, and how sweet they are together.

* Just like in the novel and the film adaptation, there is Will comforting Reba after her near-death experience, repeating his lines from the novel almost word by word. All the more significant since here, he ''completely'' empathizes with Reba's situation as [[MindGameShip his experiences]] [[DestructiveRomance with Hannibal]] mirror hers with Dolarhyde -- which also causes this moment to border onto {{Tearjerker}} territory.

** The conversation between Will and Freddie, where Will asks Freddie to not write about Abigail to give her peace, and Freddie [[PetTheDog showing some form of concern towards him]] by asking if he's unsure if he could come out of his plot against Hannibal unscathed. It's a rare moment of civility between them, where they're honest towards each other without any semblance of hostility, [[spoiler: even if it's this moment that led to Hannibal [[TheNoseKnows finding out]] that Will was deceiving him the entire time]].

** It's small, but there is when Will and Alana discuss about Hannibal, {{Tearjerker}} moments aside. At this point, Alana knows the truth and now believes Will, admitting that he could see the truth long before anyone else did. Considering how she [[TookALevelInJerkass treated him with nothing but disdain over the past few episodes]], it's nice to see that they have reconciled.

* After a rocky introduction to the Crawfords' marriage and the revelation that [[spoiler: Bella has cancer and has not told Jack]], the final scene of them coming clean to each other in Lecter's office is sweet. Jack's promise to be in her corner and be anything she needs is heartwarming, but what really seals it is when Bella finally takes his hand.

** Before that there is a temporary one in the same episode. When Hannibal is having dinner with [[spoiler: Tobias Budge. He tells him that he's going to kill any law enforcement that investigates him and then he's going to kill Franklyn]] to which Hannibal replies [[spoiler: "Don't kill Franklyn"]]. --Well, it was a heartwarming moment until [[spoiler: Hannibal snapped Franklyn's neck only a few minutes later.]]

At this point, Alana found out the truth and now believes Will, with her admitting that he could see the truth long before anyone else did. Considering how she treated him with nothing but spite and disdain over the past few episodes, it's nice to see that they have reconciled.

** During the same episode, Jack and Will have been at odds for the entire episode, but when Will comes across Jack numbly sitting alone, he sits down and answers Jack weary question of what he wants with, "I’m- gonna sit here until you’re ready to talk. You don’t have to say a word until you’re ready, but- I’m not going anywhere until you do.”

** It's small, but there is the scene when Will and Alana discuss about Hannibal. Here, Alana knows the truth and now believes Will, with her admitting that he could see the truth long before anyone else can. Considering how she treated him with nothing but disdain and hostility over the past few episodes, it's nice to see that they are interacting almost like they used to in the first season.

* Just like in the novel and the film adaptation, there is Will comforting Reba after her near-death experience, repeating his lines from the novel almost word by word. All the more significant since in here, he ''completely'' empathizes with Reba's situation as [[MindGameShip his experiences]] [[DestructiveRomance with Hannibal]] mirror hers with Dolarhyde -- which also causes this moment to border onto TearJerker territory.

** Earlier in the episode, when he needs backup to support what he's found at the crime scene, he doesn't call Crawford, or the police -- he calls Beverly. And, when he admits that he's not sure if what he saw even happened, all she says is "Then let's prove it," fully supporting and working with him.

** Jack Crawford tells Will that he considers him his responsibility. The whole time, we thought Jack didn't care how far he pushed Will, but it turns out, he does.

* Crawford falling on his sword during his testimony at Will's trial, saying he's to blame for pushing Will past his sanity.

* Just as in the ''Silence'' novel, Hannibal sends Crawford his sincere condolences about Bella's death.

* Hannibal willingly surrendering to Crawford, just so Will will always know where he is if he wants to talk. Although this is also typically diabolical, considering that Will had just finished telling Hannibal he no longer wanted to think about him or know what he was up to.
* Alana showing concern towards Will by threatening to take away Hannibal's privileges if he does anything to harm Will again; also counting as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* Every moment with Will and Molly counts. Whether or not you favor Hannibal and Will as a couple, it's hard to deny how Molly genuinely makes Will happy, how understanding she is of his situation and his past with Hannibal, and how sweet they are together as husband and wife.

* Both heartwarming and tearjerking, [[spoiler:Will finally admitting that being -- and killing -- with Hannibal is 'beautiful', before the two embrace.]]

* Unexpectedly, the pilot has one. Graham finds a lost dog wandering on the side of the road, then stops his car, turns the lights on, and opens the back hatch to let the dog in. When he takes the dog home, it's revealed that this is apparently a habit of his, and he cares for all his canine companions very well. Bonus points for showing a different side of Graham than his usual GoodIsNotNice.

* Hannibal willingly surrendering to Crawford, just so Will will always know where he is if he wants to talk. (Though this is also typically diabolical, considering that Will had just finished telling Hannibal he no longer wanted to think about him or know what he was up to.)

* Hannibal willingly surrendering to Crawford, just so Will will always know where he is if he wants to talk.

* Dolarhyde listening to a sleeping Reba's heartbeat and nuzzling her hand. It's such a tender moment.

* Reba gently dealing with Dolarhyde's embarrassment about his speech impediment, saying she's understood everything he's said perfectly, and if he wants to stop talking, that's fine too. And on the flipside, she very much appreciates his lack of pity for her blindness. In one scene, we see perfectly what draws them to each other.

* Hannibal willingly surrendering to Crawford, just so Will will always know where he is if he wants to talk.

-->'''Hannibal''': If I saw you every day, forever, Will, I would remember this time.

* Despite his ulterior motives, Chilton does express some sympathy to both Will and Alana when they are in the hospital.
