10 Most Shocking Hannibal Moments

7. Margot's Operation

We all knew Mason Verger was evil, but never for a second would anyone have thought he'd do this. Then again, is it really all that surprising?

What did he do exactly that makes him such a demon in disguise? Being the terrible person he is this twisted psychopath forcibly gave Margot, his own sister, a hysterectomy. Why? To secure the Verger fortune. With her unable to have children that leaves him the one in control of the family business's future.

Profit is really only part of it however - the other part is control. Mason views his sister as an object to manipulate and use in whatever way he desires. To him, she isn't a person, just a means to an end.

The moment where Margot wakes up on the operating table is straight up terrifying. As she lies there beaten and broken, one can't help but feel a deep twinge of pain for her. No one should have to feel that powerless.

Her life had been made a living hell by Mason, and this made it clear that if something wasn't done about him things would only get worse for her.
