Careful, Hannibal — an old friend is back on your trail.

Yes, we already suspected Will Graham survived that brutal stabbing in last season’s Hannibal finale. (He’s in all the previews!) But in this Thursday’s episode, “Primavera,” we finally get to see Will alive and well, and back in action, investigating another exquisitely staged crime scene in an ornate Italian church. Say, wasn’t Hannibal just in Italy last week?…

In the sneak preview clip above, an Italian detective (Fortunato Celfino) takes notice of Will’s, um, unorthodox methods. He sees Will lying down at the crime scene and asks, “Are you praying?” Will cryptically responds that Hannibal doesn’t pray, “but he believes in God… intimately.”

The two debate the merits of faith and prayer until we learn that the Italian detective has been chasing Hannibal, too — for years, in fact. And he thinks Will can help catch him once and for all. But Will throws the detective a curveball: “What makes you think I want to catch him?”

Acting like a weirdo at crime scenes, nursing an unhealthy obsession with Hannibal… our old Will is back!

Hannibal airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
