Why did Carolyn give Eve the job of finding Villanelle if she seems to know how to find her? Did she think that an inexperienced MI6 agent wouldn’t be able to do the job? If so, she is sadly mistaken. Lauren Thoman revisits Season 2 of Killing Eve to break it down, episode by episode, in order to get you caught up for the series return this Sunday. When Kenny hacks into the prison video system, he and Eve see a recording of Carolyn visiting with Villanelle in jail. (I still think she’s a member of The Twelve.) Not only has she been secretly corresponding with Konstantin for years, but she knows far more about Villanelle than she is letting on. Worst case scenario: Carolyn is straight-up evil. The final twist of the night? Best case scenario: Carolyn is definitely hiding things. Did Anna and Oksana have some kind of plan to run away together or was this solely a plan Oksana made on her own? Either way, Anna seems eager to see Oksana again and, with the assassin out and about in Moscow, a reunion seems likely. When Eve is going through the liner (as you do), she finds a passport with Oksana’s face on it, along with cash. And it’s telling that not only do Eve and Anna have similar hair, but that Villanelle has given them both similar presents.įor Anna, one such present was a designer winter coat sent in the mail. Whether it’s the truth or just the truth Anna wants to believe, it’s clear that Anna and Oksana were closer than the typical student-teacher relationship. Unlike her encounter with Villanelle, Eve waits until she is out the door with cake in hand before leveling the most impolite question at Anna: Did she sleep with Oksana? “No,” says Anna angrily before slamming the door. It’s not the kind of joke you should make with Oksana.Įve and Anna’s tea and cake date is reminiscent of Villanelle and Eve’s dinner date: cordial on the surface, but built on a Jenga tower of impolite questions.
From Anna’s retelling, Oksana saw it as a gift for Anna, who joked along with her student only a day before that the only reason she loved her husband was because he had a penis. Meanwhile, Eve makes a house call to the last person who maybe loved Villanelle: Anna, the woman whose husband Oksana murdered and castrated. My take? He truly does… he’s just smart enough to understand how stupid that is. Through it all, we are left to wonder if Konstantin is telling the truth when he says he loves Villanelle best of all. Konstantin tells Villanelle how proud of her he is just before hitting her over the head with an endtable to make his escape via boat like the James Bond villain he kind of is. Villanelle forces Konstantin to take pills that he claims will kill him. As it stands, we get a showdown between Villanelle and Konstantin that is the best scene in the entire episode and one of the standouts from the season thus far.
