"...And the Woman Clothed in Sun" is the tenth episode of the third season of the psychological thriller–horror series Hannibal. It is the 36th overall episode of the series and was written by producer Don Mancini, and series creator Bryan Fuller, and directed by Guillermo Navarro. It was first broadcast on August 6, 2015 on Canada, and then August 8, 2015 on NBC.
The series is based on characters and elements appearing in Thomas Harris' novels Red Dragon and Hannibal, with focus on the relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The episode revolves around the investigation on "The Tooth Fairy", a serial killer. The killer, Francis Dolarhyde, starts a new relationship with Reba McClane but feels that the paintings are influencing him to commit murders, one of which involves her.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.01 million household viewers and gained a 0.3/1 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the performances (especially Richard Armitage and Gillian Anderson), the writing, directing, pace and Dolarhyde's character development.
