Villanelle is definitely in her feelings on the latest ‘Killing Eve’

Fans who thought they were going to have to wait a while longer for the ladies of Killing Eve (Sundays, 10 pET, CTV Drama Channel) to reunite after that explosive second-season finale in Rome were probably pleasantly surprised when Villanelle (Jodie Comer) wasted no time in reinserting herself back into Eve’s (Sandra Oh) life on the latest episode, “Meetings Have Biscuits.” Of course, Eve herself was none too pleased. In fact, she was downright terrified, as one tends to be when a serial killer who is in love with you shows up on your daily commute.

An interesting commute

Last season, the writers spent a good amount of time trying to humanize Villanelle as she worked with Eve to bring down a bigger enemy. That’s what made the Season Two finale so shocking: just when you thought Villanelle was softening up she went and did something like shoot the woman she loves. This season though there’s no mistaking the cold-blooded killer for anything other than what she is. The episode kicked off with V assassinating a new mom and a nanny, before kidnapping the baby just because she could. Oh, and then she also allowed her mentor/handler, Dasha (Harriet Walter) to dump the baby in an actual rubbish bin as the two got back to their meal. It’s worth repeating: this is not a woman you can trust.[video_embed id='1941852']What We're Watching: Current favourite TV shows[/video_embed]It seems like Eve finally got that memo, too. When Villanelle showed up on the bus she fought like hell, to the point where no one on the commute wanted near those two and their catfight. It’s actually kind of surprising no one filmed the entire thing. Regardless, Eve’s loaded kiss when Villanelle climbed on top of her was shocking and stupid, and it definitely reignited all of those feelings Villanelle has been fighting with so far this season. As a result, viewers probably weren’t surprised when Villanelle snuck into Eve’s apartment and left that talking teddy bear behind. “You wish I was here. Admit it, Eve,” that creepy pink thing kept saying.Does Eve wish that? Well that’s part of the allure of the show for so many people. When Eve sat at that bus stop after the encounter, it was hard to tell whether she was looking for or avoiding Villanelle. To be honest, she probably doesn’t even know herself, and as fans everywhere would agree with (and awards nominations kind of prove), no one plays that confusion better than Sandra Oh.

‘I have all of my best thoughts in the bath’

Villanelle’s ruthless spirit and gripping mood swings weren’t just made clear to Eve in the episode though: for the first time in the series, Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) got to see the killer in action and up close and personal. Ever since her son’s death, the former MI6 leader has been super-suppressing her own feelings (which is pretty on-brand for her), calling meetings from her bathtub and going on ragers with former connections in order to suss out information. And while viewers are loving it for the comedic relief it offers, especially when it comes to scenes with her daughter Geraldine (Gemma Whelan) and her new servant Mo (Raj Bajaj), it was only a matter of time before it all caught up with her.That may have been what happened when Carolyn and Mo picked up The Twelve accountant Charles Kruger (Dominic Mafham), only to see him shot to death by Villanelle in the car. The writers wanted everyone to believe that bullet was intended for Carolyn for getting too close to the truth (which is why the group now believes Kenny died), but it was meant for the man in charge of finances… finances that have been mysteriously disappearing, by the way. Afterwards Carolyn was speechless, so it will be pretty interesting to see how and if she bounces back and how having her daughter around may help or hurt her healing process. Carolyn has now had to feel some of the terror her son was probably feeling in his final moments, and that’s not something you can just scrub off in the bath, so to speak.

Family ties

Speaking of mother-daughter relationships, remember that baby at the beginning of the episode? It clearly sparked all kinds of other feelings for Villanelle, who was fascinated at the nanny’s determination to protect it. So now she’s wondering if she was ever loved that way and who her own family was, which is always a dangerous path to go down (just ask Jo on Grey’s Anatomy). So who is Villanelle enlisting to help her track down her kin? None other than the completely untrustworthy Konstantin (Kim Bodnia), who knows way more than anyone else on the show—and the audience—at this point. It’s pretty obvious he’s going to track down some kind of familial connection for V, but who that person will be and how things play out is really anyone’s guess. After all, that’s a story that deserves its own future episode.Killing Eve airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on CTV Drama Channel.[video_embed id='1943439']Cobie Smulders serenades Jake Johnson with HIMYM throwback[/video_embed]
