Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 8: “Trou Normand”
Directed by Guillermo Navarro
Written by Steve Lightfoot
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
Hannibal serves up another carefully cooked up course of events with its ninth episode of the series titled “Trou Normand.” As Jack and Will follow pursuit of a new killer (Lance Henriksen), the case of the week really takes a toll on Will’s psyche. Will is really beginning to crack under the pressure this week, suffering from time lapses (losing a total of three and half hours of his life), and teaching the killer’s design to an empty class. As we see each and every week, Will is exposed to unimaginable horror and as Hannibal points out, Will is bolstering a sort of self inflicted emotional abuse by forcing himself into the minds of the killers he hunts down. The question is, how much can he possibly take?...

Lawrence Wells was rather creative in "Trou Normand." A constructing a totem pole of corpses? Can't say I ever considered that as a way of financing a retirement fund.
What was most interesting about Lawrence was that his actions were what ultimately did him in. He believed he was in complete control of how and when he would get caught and how he would be remembered, but that arrogance was exactly the kind of instability needed to murder your own son without ever knowing it. Lawrence believed in only one thing: his way.
Much of that same arrogance could be applied to Lecter as well - and Jack can see it. Because of it, he is beginning to see a pattern emerging with Lecter and he’s determined to follow it to wherever it leads. Yet it’s amazing how much trust the rest of the team has in Lecter.
