3
4Hannibal Lecter speaks with the so-called "Tooth Fairy" and divines much of the killer's mind, even as he sets his own schemes in motion. Will Graham learns more about Bedelia Du Maurier, including how and why she killed one of her patients. And as Francis Dolarhyde's relationship with Reba [=McClane=] grows deeper, he takes desperate measures to control the Red Dragon.

7!!Tropes:
8* BeneathTheMask: Bedelia reveals more of herself to Will.
9* TheBusCameBack: Bedelia's back.
10* ChanceMeetingBetweenAntagonists: Dolarhyde visiting the Brooklyn Museum to see the original ''The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun'' painting? Straight out of the novel. Will Graham visiting the Museum after being tipped off to the painting's importance by Hannibal? Not so much.
11* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When Bedelia finishes off Neal Frank, the audience is treated to several long shots of her arm entering his throat (or penetrating, as it were), and then to a closeup of her face wearing an expression of pleasure, as if she's getting off on this. Then when the deed is done she flops down next to him.
12* ExtremeOmnivore: When Dolarhyde is alone with the Creator/WilliamBlake print, he tears it to pieces and eats it.
13* FantasySequence: While talking to Hannibal on the phone, Dolarhyde imagines them sitting across from one another in Hannibal's office.
14* FoeRomanceSubtext: Bedelia makes comments on different occasions on Will's relationship with Hannibal.
15* OnceMoreWithClarity: In the flashbacks, it now appears that Neal Frank didn't attack Bedelia, but fell victim to an epileptic seizure that Hannibal had intentionally induced. Rather than clearing his airway she then deliberately made sure he choked on his tongue.
