Hannibal Season 4 - Tumblr Posts
I was thinking about how season 4 would pan out, as we all do, and I was trying to think of how Marlana’s story would fit into such a Hannigram-centric plot. These are my thoughts on an encounter mid-season, where Hannibal doesn’t go through with killing Alana despite having the opportunity. Feel free to use this in a fic if any of this rambling somehow sparks inspiration:
Early on in the season, sometime during their recovery and hiding, Will expresses to Hannibal his personal view on the significance of family connections, expressing the depths of his grief and broken trust of killing Abigail. Maybe throw in some discussion of Abigail’s perspective of needing the love and guidance of parents. This is probably all conveyed in some weird, metaphorical, poetic-ass dialogue. The gist being something about parents and their children. Hannibal listens. Will does most of the talking.
A few different plot points and some time later, Hannibal thinks about killing Alana (revenge for taking his freedom and disrespecting him in season 3). He’s thought about it, but hasn’t actively pursued this (filed her name away in his rolodex). Then, one day, the opportunity presents itself by complete chance (probably the Marlana family taking a much-needed vacation in a cozy bed and breakfast in the same tucked-away town Hannibal does his shopping in). He has no issues with Margot or their son, so his plans only include Alana.
Moments before he is about to reveal himself and kill Alana, there is something that reminds Hannibal of his earlier conversation with Will (maybe Marlana’s son engaged in some behavior/activity that reminds him of Abigail, maybe some imagery in the environment). I like the idea of Hannibal’s processing being subtly signaled to the viewer/reader, not through explicit internal dialogue. The most explicit signal might be Hannibal hearing some echo of something Will said. His motivation for turning away and leaving Alana alive are either because he deems it rude to betray Will’s feelings on family, or he himself has some personal development connected to his own feelings and trauma with family. The main thing is, it isn’t because he has somehow become a better person (challenge: impossible) and forgiven Alana, but because he doesn’t wish to rob Marlana’s son of a parent.
On his casual yet quiet exit, Hannibal comes across Margot on her way in, and he makes a brief, polite comment ("good job on the beautiful family, bro"). Margot recognizes the genuineness of what he says and expresses no signs of feeling threatened. Margot goes on to spend her time with Alana and their son as though the encounter never happened. Unlike what some might expect, Marlana stay in town to continue their getaway as planned.
I’m sure Alana would have rushed her family out of there if Margot told her about Hannibal being in town, but Margot does not wish to unbury Alana’s Hannibal-related trauma (the opposite of their goals for this vacation), especially when she understands Hannibal’s nature and knows that her family is at no risk now that Hannibal has made his decision.

Inspired by Bryan Fuller's recent comments about possible revivals, I continue to manifest the S4 I want to see in the world.
This is so cruel.
