Episode eight of "Hannibal" was artfully done and represented the tortured yet eerily beautiful soul of the season's next big bad – Francis Dolarhyde aka the Tooth Fairy aka the Red Dragon. The wordless episode saw the monster's past, the death of a family and Dr. Lecter's surrender to Jack Crawford. Fans should brace themselves for a mind-boggling episode nine named "And The Woman Clothed With The Sun."

The promotional clip of the episode shows that the Red Dragon killed two families including the Leeds and Will and Jack have only three weeks to capture the elusive and mysterious killer before he strikes again. Spoilers Guide reports that the search for Dolarhyde intensifies as Will starts to delve into the serial killer's psyche.

But Graham realizes he cannot capture the Red Dragon without Hannibal's help. In episode nine the two will work together in order to get closer to the Tooth Fairy. Together, they come up with the killer's profile.

However, Alana Bloom reminds Graham that working with Hannibal poses its own set of dangers. The last time the two worked together it ended badly. But Will sees no other choice and continues to work with the forensic psychiatrist.

Dolarhyde will finally be speaking in Saturday's episode. Actor Richard Armitage, who plays the mentally ill serial killer, told TVLine in an interview that "for someone that has such trouble speaking and forming words, the first time we hear him speak is in Episode 9, and it's a struggle. It's really like baby steps when he speaks."

And whom does he speak to? None other than Reba McClane, a blind woman who is the killer's love interest. "True Blood" star, Rutina Wesley, plays Reba. In fact, the two will engage in a tragic love story, reports TVLine.

Creator, Bryan Fuller, on the other hand, already has plans for the show's season four or the movie. He told TVLine at Comic-Con that a part of Thomas Harris' novel has not been adapted yet for the small or big screen. Fuller plans to unpack it for either the next season or movie.
