Serial killer Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) will come face-to-face with Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) in the upcoming episode of NBC's psychological thriller-horror series.

In "And the Woman Clothed in Sun," Cartermatt reports that "The Great Red Dragon"/"The Tooth Fairy" will seek the forensic psychiatrist regarding his "becoming." Now that he has found a way to communicate directly with Lecter, Dolarhyde will see the only person he thinks can understand him.

The Dolarhyde case continues to mystify the FBI, but the carvings the killer leaves in the crime scenes will give them some ideas about his disturbing psychology. Meanwhile, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) will realize that the bond with Lecter that he had difficulty severing before has come in full force after the gifted criminal profiler asked the latter for help.

This will rattle Will so badly that he is pushed into seeing Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), the only one who can understand his predicament. Bedelia is the other person who has established a close relationship with Lecter. Will shall solicit her advice on how he can possibly handle the situation once history repeats itself.

Last episode, Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) reminded Will about the consequences of working with Lecter, after their last encounter ended badly. She could see, though, that her entreaties did not affect Will, as he was determined to look for answers on the new case.

Meanwhile, Dolarhyde met a blind woman named Reba McClane (Rutina Wesley) and felt drawn to her. When he saw her waiting alone for the bus, he offered to drive her home. He immediately excused himself, however, after her continued attempt to get to know him pained him.

Jack (Laurence Fishburne) became aware of killer's interest in Lecter and his relationship with Will. He told the psychiatrist that he intends to use Will as bait to draw Dolarhyde in, but Lecter was not keen on the idea.

"Hannibal" airs on Thursday at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.
