If Will did wake up alone post fall, I do like the idea that he does go back to Molly and Walter, but everything is actually a sham. The house is bugged and the FBI is quietly watching the house. Jack is waiting for the right moment for when he snaps. Whether he attacks Molly out of rage or leaves her to go find Hannibal again, his men will be at the ready to chase him down like a wild animal. And if Molly was smart, so will her neighbors who have been warning her since day one. If they’re lucky, they get to kill both him and Hannibal. It’s the ultimate betrayal from everyone.
This scenario not only definitively proves what Will has known all along; that society only sees him as a useful pawn and he’s meant to be discarded when he is no longer useful, but also that Hannibal was right and there was no point in going home since Molly would reject him anyways. And he knows how he reacts when he’s rejected.
So what’s the point in fighting off the darkness and protecting something like that?
It also gives a startling imagery of a village chasing out and trying to kill something otherworldly and demonic. The age old tale of humans trying to kill what isn’t like them when the monster is inside of them all.
