Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Crawford willingly got interviewed by Lounds.]]
Lounds tells Graham that her article will say that a high ranking official said "it takes one to catch one." In the novel, this is clearly made up. In the show, however, it might have come directly from Crawford to motivate Graham and bring him back to the mindset that allowed him to think like a killer. He even tells Lecter, "It takes one to catch one."

[[WMG: Dolarhyde will eat Lounds.]]
The burning wheelchair has already been done. As a fan of Lecter, he may try something new. In the novel, he just bites off Lounds' lips and spits them out. Here, he may actually eat Lounds. There might even be imagery of the Great Red Dragon devouring Lounds. The hashtag for "And the Woman Clothed in the Sun" is "swallowedwhole," so it may be referring to this.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Clarice Starling will be portrayed by Ellen Page.]]
Her name came up when Fuller answered whom he would like to cast.

[[WMG: Clarice Starling will not be white.]]
She will be another race because it is something that Fuller would like to explore.

[[WMG: Afterward, Chilton will be promoted to Bloom's position.]]
He needs to be the one in charge of Baltimore Hospital for the Criminally Insane.


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Lecter got Graham's address through Lounds.]]
Lounds never minds her own business. She was bound to look for Graham to study how he has been coping in the aftermath of Lecter's arrest. She probably gave Lecter his address in exchange for sensational information that she could publish. This would explain how the letter from Lecter got to Graham's house.


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Graham will move to Florida.]]
He is there in the ''Red Dragon'' novel, but he is not there in season 3. It would make sense for him to try getting further away from Lecter.

This happens in the novel.

[[WMG: There will be two weeks between the releases of "Digestivo" and "The Great Red Dragon."]]
The season finale airs September 3, 2015. Between June 4 and then, there are 14 consecutive weeks. One of those weeks may be skipped, and it would make sense for it to be between the two main stories of this season.

[[WMG: Graham will be wearing glasses and then take him off right before or as he is facing Lecter.]]
The glasses represent the good side of Will whereas Will without glasses is more associated with his time encountering Hannibal.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Francis will attempt to kill Bedelia.]]
When Hannibal tells him, "Kill them all," he may be referring to more than just Will's family.

[[WMG: The show will end with Will eating Hannibal.]]
It is the only way that he can forgive him.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Willy Foster will have a different first name.]]
His name has not been mentioned in interviews. It may be changed so that it is not too confusing having both Will and Willy in the show. His name was Kevin in ''Manhunter'' and Josh in the ''Red Dragon'' film.

[[WMG: We will see the child that results from [[spoiler: Mason's sperm]].]]
It would be about two years old and raised by Margot.

[[WMG: We will find out that Alana impregnated herself with [[spoiler: Mason's sperm]].]]
She seemed very into Margot and may have gone the extra mile.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Judy does exist in the show and will be revealed as the one who impregnates herself with [[spoiler: Mason's sperm]].]]
She was Margot's girlfriend in the ''Hannibal'' novel.

[[WMG: We will see red dragon wings grow out of Francis' back.]]
It would take place in Francis' imagination.

[[WMG: Graham and Dolarhyde will have a conversation with each other.]]
It would probably be Graham trying to persuade Dolarhyde to end his crimes before things get worse.


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: NBC will revive the show a few years down the line.]]
And it will be called ''[[HeroesReborn Hannibal Reborn]]''.

[[WMG: Will is the [[spoiler: father]] of the [[spoiler: baby in the pig]].]]
Eight months passed between the "red dinner" and Will arriving at the Norman Chapel. Add the time between Margot getting pregnant and the red dinner as well as the time that it took for Will to go to Castle Lecter and then to Florence and it could be nine months. Mason said that he merely put Margot's egg into a surrogate, so it must be Will, not Mason, who is the father.


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Lecter has his nice cell as a result of bargaining with Chilton.]]
Lecter offered information for Chilton's study on him in exchange for the furnished cell.

[[WMG: We will see Hannibal imagining Mischa in his cell.]]
The trailer shows an obscured woman behind Hannibal in the cell. This could be him seeing his sister in his memory palace.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: The murders of the Jacobi family in Birmingham and the Leeds family in Atlanta will not take place until ''after'' Graham consults Lecter.]]
In the trailer, Graham mentions murders in Chicago and Buffalo to Lecter. The show could be adding additional murder scenes to Dolarhyde's story. Even the opening scene of "Apertif" was an extra scene added to Dolarhyde's story.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Francis Dolarhyde will kill Alana Bloom.]]
In the novel, Francis kills women who each have a bloom on them. Perhaps Alana Bloom will be included as one of his victims.

[[WMG: Jack died from a heart attack when Hannibal was trying to saw through Will's head.]]
He dies from a heart attack in the books, and this could have been too much for him.

[[WMG: Hannibal (and possibly Will) ate Jack's brain.]]
It seemed like Hannibal was about to eat Will's brain just as he and Clarice did to Paul Krendler in the ''Hannibal'' novel. Jack is absent when Mason "welcomes" Will and Hannibal at Muskrat Farm. It is possible that Hannibal obeyed Jack's command to stop, deciding to eat Jack's brain instead and possibly feeding some of it to Will.

[[WMG: "Digestivo" will begin with a scene revealing what took place between Jack saying "Stop!" and the arrival at Muskrat Farm.]]
Perhaps it will show who interrupted Hannibal's sawing.

[[WMG: Chiyoh interrupted the dinner in "Dolce."]]
She was in the same building and could have attempted to capture Hannibal.

[[WMG: The inspector who appeared in "Dolce" intervened.]]
Jack told him about the price on Hannibal's head. The inspector could have successfully captured Hannibal and sold him to Mason.

[[WMG: Mason will eat at least one of Hannibal's fingers.]]
It would reflect Hannibal removing a finger between ''The Silence of the Lambs'' and ''Hannibal.''

[[WMG: Alana will kill Cordell.]]
In the ''Hannibal'' novel, Margot kills both Cordell and Mason. In "Digestivo," she will probably kill Mason, but Alana could help her by killing Cordell.

[[WMG: Cordell will by killed with a hammer near a bar fridge.]]
This would match his fate in the ''Hannibal'' novel.

[[WMG: Dr. Chilton will arrive at Muskrat Farm.]]
Perhaps he will try to stop Mason from killing Hannibal since he wants him institutionalized.

Perhaps it will show Mason's men intervening, and maybe even the fates of Jack, Chiyoh, and Bedelia.

[[WMG: Lecter will say to Graham, "I have given much thought to eating your wife."]]
In the ''Hannibal'' novel, Lecter says this to Rinaldo Pazzi. He does not say this to Pazzi in season 3, so the line may be reused against Graham.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Bedelia is leaving a trail so that Hannibal will be caught.]]
She shopped for Hannibal at the same store, and Alana has found out about the routine. Bedelia could have gone to different stores, but she chose not to. She even looked into a security camera at a train station so that she could be noticed. She is leaving bread crumbs, just like in a fairy tale.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Bloom is secretly helping Chilton as she deals with Mason Verger.]]
Mason has his own resources for capturing Hannibal and intends to torture him. Chilton, on the other hand, wants Hannibal incarcerated at Baltimore Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Verger refused to help Chilton, so maybe Chilton sent Bloom to work with Verger so that they may intercept Hannibal after he is captured but before he can be tortured so that he can be incarcerated.

[[WMG: Hannibal will be smuggled to the US on Will's boat.]]
Hannibal has killed on Italian soil, so the Italian authorities would not allow him to be incarcerated on American soil. Will may have been planning far ahead.

[[WMG: At the end, Will will dream about the Battle of Shiloh.]]
He dreams about it at the end of the novel.


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: There will be a tableau referencing an artwork by Pablo Picasso.]]
It would reflect how Will's facial disfigurement at the end of ''Red Dragon'' leaves him looking like something painted by Picasso, as Jack puts it in ''The Silence of the Lambs.''

[[WMG: Hannibal will kill Matthew Brown.]]
He would find it rather rude of Matthew to try to kill him. This would probably happen while Lecter is incarcerated, perhaps even during an escape attempt.

[[WMG: Alana will take the role of Judy from the ''Hannibal'' novel.]]
In the novel, Margot has a girlfriend named Judy, whom she wants to impregnate with Mason's sperm so that she may gain the family inheritance. In the show, Alana may agree to be impregnated with Mason's sperm to help Margot. Mason already seems infatuated with her.

[[WMG: The plot thread of Margot trying to obtain Mason's sperm will not appear on the show.]]
It may be considered too inappropriate for NBC.

[[WMG: Mrs. Pazzi will avenge her husband.]]
She deserves to get a swing at Hannibal for what he did to Rinaldo. Maybe she will help Jack and Will catch Hannibal.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: During this season, Molly will have psychological problems as a result of [[spoiler: killing Francis]].]]
She does this to that character in the ''Red Dragon'' novel, though that story does not show how doing so affects her mental state. Fuller could add and explore this.
