These last two episodes have dealt in depth with the question of which side of the supernatural spectrum Hannibal falls on. The catacombs were downright creepy and scary. Chief Inspector Pazzi's presentation of "Il Mostro," the Monster of Florence, chilled me to the bone. I can honestly say that this was the episode in which I saw the darkest side of Hannibal, even though he was barely in the episode. It's still unclear what Will means, or what he intends to gain, by telling Hannibal that he forgives him. Will's conversation with Pazzi in the catacombs seemed to imply that his own stance on Hannibal is ambiguous. When Will knew that he was about to encounter Hannibal again, when his own mind was not safe, he let her go.
For a while, at least, she was in a safe place, some other world.
On the other hand, given the depth of Will's empathy, his incomparable ability to know what people have thought and felt, it may be possible that he really was just trying to keep Abigail alive as he knew she would be. When Abigail continued to want to join Hannibal, he decided to let that part of him go. If that was the case in this episode, it would imply that Will might have been torn between joining Hannibal and capturing him. Usually when a character has someone in his imagination, it can be argued that the imagination is part of their subconscious voice.
