Bryan Fuller & Hugh Dancy Debate Nature Of Dr Lecter & Will Graham's Relationship

As Graham (Hugh Dancy) lay bleeding on Hannibal's (Mads Mikkelsen) floor during "Mizumono," he was joined by the series' signature imaginary stag. In a seemingly lucky turn of events, the stag seemed to be undergoing a swan song of it's own.

"You could look at it two ways: Yes, it could be that dark thing that he shared with Hannibal has been ripped out of him and he's free of it. But it could also be that the stag represented the way that that darkness haunted him. And maybe it means going forward, he'll be just as capable of dark acts, just without the guilt," Dancy ominously informed TV Line. "I honestly don't know. I do think it would be interesting to see a lighter Will and to learn a bit more about where he's coming from. But I'm sure Bryan is cooking that all up as we speak."
