Turning the Other Cheek

Will could have killed Dr. Lecter. The gun could have been loaded. He could have blown Dr. Lecter's superior brains all over the inside of his superior fridge. Then he realized just how predictable he was to Dr. Lecter. He couldn't have done a damn thing. That turned cheek. It was such obvious psychology. Spoilers through Mizumono. Rated for damn swearing.
