History Recap / HannibalS02E07

** The biggest one is Hannibal had hypnotically tricked Miriam into believing [[spoiler: Chilton]] was the one manipulating her during her capture. This causes her to freak out and [[spoiler: ''shoot Chilton'']] when she hears his voice during his interrogation.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy[=/=]CrazyPrepared[=/=]XanatosSpeedChess: Hannibal has gone to ridiculous lengths to ensure himself and [[spoiler: set Chilton up to take his fall.]] The short list follows:
** Will Graham warns Jack Crawford that at some point during the investigation of the location where Miriam was found, he will find evidence that exonerates Hannibal Lecter. Hannibal anticipated Will's prediction, and left evidence that points towards Hannibal.
** He creates an extensively convincing and damning crime scene to frame [[spoiler: Chilton]], going so far as to call two FBI agents and murder them in ways that make it appear as if they had been eaten.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: Chilton]] wants to flee to another country to avoid being Hannibal's fall guy. Will, who's already called Jack anyway, points out that he'd be on a no-fly list.

* AnArmAndALeg: Miriam Lass, natch. She gets a semi-robotic prosthesis though.

* BreakTheCutie: Chilton. Although in his case its more like 'Break the SmugSnake'.

Tropes that appear in Hannibal, season 2, episode 7:

* FrameUp: Chilton is the recipient of a rather extensive one via Hannibal. It's tempting to feel sorry for Chilton, until you remember that he's been a colossal prick to everyone for two seasons and helped drive Dr. Abel Gideon off the slippery slope.

* {{Dangerously Genre Savvy}}/{{Crazy Prepared}}/XanatosSpeedChess: Hannibal. My goodness, Hannibal. The most prominent example in the episode: Will Graham warns Jack Crawford that at some point during the investigation of the location where Miriam was found, he will find evidence that exonerates Hannibal Lecter. Of course, Hannibal has somewhat anticipated our scruffy hero's prediction, and so the team finds evidence that...points towards Hannibal, a single smudged partial fingerprint. Jack and Co. note that the Ripper has never left prints before, and that this must somehow be a message of some sort, or an attempt to mislead them. Jack comes to believe that Chilton has tried to frame Hannibal, and is in fact the Chesapeake Ripper. Chilton wakes up in a pool of blood, with a dead Dr. Abel Gideon cut up in his basement and three butchered FBI agents. Chilton is captured and interrogated in the presence of Miriam Lass. She recognizes her tormentor's voice from her imprisonment... flips out and shoots... Dr. Chilton. You realize that Hannibal, in another moment of GenreSavvy, had recorded Chilton's voice and played it to Miriam as she laid drugged in her captivity.
