I think this is one of the most important chapter (if not the most) to understand both the psychology of Hannibal and Will. I see some people saying is another serial killer that diverts the path of the series. They couldn't be more wrong! This episode shows tension. If you pay enough attention you can know what is coming and you know isn't good but somehow (if you were able to get attached to the main characters so far) you want it to happen.
This episode shows action too. We see Hannibal pulling the strings of his puppets. We as a viewer can see through Hannibal, we see his definition of family and how he will teach it to the people he loves. A concept that is the series' target.
Symbolism is very important and the photoshoot too. They speak by themselves.
You just need a little bit of Will's gift: Imagination. It is not enough just to understand what the characters say, you have to imagine yourself in their situations to understand why and so the point the series is leading us.
