Royal Albert Hall, London

Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is meeting Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) as she is wanting to accept the job offer from a while ago. Carolyn asks what exactly Villanelle wants to do if she does not want to kill for them. Villanelle says that she can change, but Carolyn rejects her offer.

Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) wants to leave the hospital and rips all of his tubes out and Dasha (Harriet Walter) tells him that it’s not smart to leave. She also informs him that Villanelle was the one that hit her, but Konstantin asks if she is really surprised as Dasha tried to kill her in the past. Dasha begs him to stay and they realise they are both to blame for what Villanelle has done. Konstantin walks away and Dasha flatlines.

Villanelle is watching people dance and Eve (Sandra Oh) arrives. Villanelle tells her that she killed for the first time in England in this place. She wonders out loud what would have happened if she had refused to kill this person and Eve tells Villanelle about Niko. Villanelle says she wants to feel happy and carefree like the dancers when Eve asks Villanelle to dance. Rhian (Alexandra Roach), Hélène’s friend, arrives and is watching them. Villanelle tells Eve to leave and gives her a piece of paper.

Villanelle and Rhian are at the train station together and Rhian starts yelling at Villanelle and they fight. Villanelle strangles Rhian, but lets her go until Villanelle kicks her down onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train.

Geraldine (Gemma Whelan) is reading an apology letter to Carolyn. Carolyn is supposed to respond, but the only thing she does is tell Geraldine that she should leave.

Croydon, South London

Eve is holding the piece of paper (which we now realise is the note Villanelle took from Konstantin). She walks into a betting place and talks to the owner Bruce and he tells her that this is the Russian’s box.

Carolyn comes into Kenny’s office for a meeting and Bear (Turlough Covenry) tells her that he installed a camera because someone was stealing his sweets. The camera shows that the night Kenny left, Konstantin was there and Kenny left with him.

Eve is leaving the betting place when Konstantin bumps into her and asks for the package, which contains Russian dolls that have a barcode on them which lead to another safety box. Konstantin clutches his heart and they go to sit down.

Villanelle arrives at the office as she is looking for Eve. She looks at the board of murders and tells them that she did not do all of them. All three (Bear, Jamie, and Audre) start freaking out. Konstantin calls her to ask Eve to hand it over and Villanelle tells him that it might be better if Eve keeps it and that she will meet them.

Konstantin gets a call from Paul, who tells him that he knows that Konstantin has been taking the money. We see that Paul (Steve Pemberton) has a gun pointed at his head. Eve decides to go with Konstantin.

When they get to Paul’s, Carolyn is there holding a gun. The doorbell rings and Villanelle joins the ‘party’. Konstantin tells them that he has been getting his orders from Paul and Carolyn shoots at a statue to prove that she will indeed shoot anyone. Konstantin tells everybody that Dasha is dead.

Carolyn confronts Konstantin about Kenny and he says that he was just trying to warn Kenny as Paul wanted him dead, so he was trying to save him but Kenny stepped too far back and fell. Carolyn points the gun at Konstantin, he tells her that he loves her and asks Villanelle to save him, but she tells him that he is not family. Carolyn shoots Paul and lets Konstantin go. Eve is annoyed as she doesn’t think she should have shot Paul as he knew a lot. Carolyn tells her that they can’t destroy The 12 and Eve storms out.

Villanelle runs after Eve. They stop on the London Bridge and Eve tells Villanelle that she killed Dasha, but Villanelle says that they both did. Villanelle tells Eve that she doesn’t want to do this anymore and Eve confides that when she thinks about her future all she sees is her. Villanelle asks Eve if she thinks she is a monster, but Eve tells her that everybody has a monster inside of them, some just keep them hidden. Villanelle says that they encourage each other’s monsters. Eve wants Villanelle to help her and that she wants out. They turn back to back and Villanelle tells her to walk and not look back. They start walking but both stop and turn around to look at each other!

Overall Thoughts?

I loved this episode! It was my favourite one of the entire season! It was so well done and we got to see everybody come together, but also how much they have all changed. Eve and Villanelle are too much and I can’t wait to see what happens next for these two, that scene on the London Bridge was beautifully shot and so clever!

Overall Thoughts On The Season?

This season was definitely not my favourite, I loved the last episode, but it seemed all over the place for me. I also didn’t really like any of the new characters. I do think Villanelle’s character arc this season was incredible and Villanelle and Eve’s relationship was super interesting to watch. I can’t wait for Season 4 (I know we will have a long wait ahead of us though).

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3.08 ‘Are You Leading or Am I?’ appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is waiting outside and is called into a room by Hélène (Camille Cottin). She asks Villanelle about her injury, who says that she was thinking about how to kill her and they have a weird moment. Hélène has another woman with her and she warns Villanelle that she is replaceable and this woman could easily take her place.

Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) and Mo (Raj Bajaj) are meeting and discussing Paul. Carolyn is still convinced he is working for The 12 and has put Mo in charge of finding evidence and proof. Eve (Sandra Oh) joins Carolyn and tells her that Villanelle has been promoted and that they should use her. Carolyn tells Eve that she has already asked Villanelle to work with them, but she turned them down.

Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) is in a detention centre and talks to the man who just interviewed Irina (Yuli Lagodinsky). The man informs Konstantin that she will need to stay a while as she is exhibiting worrisome behaviour. Konstantin gets worked up and becomes very stressed.

Eve is looking through a massive bin when Bear (Turlough Convery) asks what she is doing. She is looking for the cake box and she finally finds it. Jamie (Danny Sapani) informs them that they have been raided by the police.

Konstantin visits Irina and tells her that he will leave her behind. He is upset and she doesn’t know if he is lying or telling the truth. Eve, Bear, and Jamie find the bakery and decide to track Villanelle’s credit card. They see that it was used a couple of minutes ago in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, Scotland

Dasha (Harriet Walter) and Villanelle are checking into a very nice hotel. They argue about where they are from and what accent to use. When they get into the lift, Dasha squeezes Villanelle’s injury and they discuss Dasha going home. Dasha has a son and she tells Villanelle that she will die alone.

Konstantin arrives home and is scared senseless again (this poor man) by Geraldine (Gemma Whelan) waiting for him in the dark. She has cooked dinner for him. Just before she leaves she tells Konstantin that she thinks her mum is on the verge of discovering something big. He suddenly asks her to stay and she gets angry as she realises he has just been using her and she tells him she hopes he dies.

Villanelle and Dasha are playing golf. Dasha says she misses killing people. They both watch a couple of Americans playing golf and Villanelle tells Dasha that she can kill him if she wants. Dasha asks Villanelle if she is afraid of killing now.

Villanelle is looking for a golf ball and waves down the American man and asks if he could help them look for it. Villanelle tells Dasha that she has changed her mind and that she does want to kill him. While he is leaning down and she looks like she is about to hit  him, she hits Dasha instead. The American man runs in front of Eve’s taxi. She leaves him and heads towards where he says everything happened.

Somewhere Nearby

Villanelle is picked up by Konstantin, while Eve finds Dasha lying on the ground. Dasha informs her that she was responsible for hurting Niko. Eve suddenly places her foot on Dasha’s chest and pushes down. She runs away when she hears sirens.

Mo calls Carolyn and tells her that he found something in regards to Paul. We see the girl from the meeting Villanelle had at the beginning of the episode. She is watching Mo (not good).

Konstantin and Villanelle are at a train station when Konstantin suddenly collapses. Konstantin tells her that he doesn’t want to die and she tells him that she does not want him to die either. Villanelle leaves and Eve arrives a few seconds later, she runs up to Konstantin. He tells her that Villanelle is on the train and they see each other and wave before the train leaves the station.

Mo is dead in a stream and when Carolyn finds out, she starts breaking everything, which leaves Geraldine very shocked.

Konstantin is in the hospital, he laughs when he is asked if he has been stressed. We hear another laugh and Dasha is in the hospital bed next to him.

Liverpool Street, London

Villanelle calls Eve and tells her that they need to stop meeting like that.

Overall Thoughts?

This episode was a whirlwind and we had a lot going on. I really enjoyed this and thought it was beautifully done. I cannot wait for the last episode. I just want to see Eve and Villanelle reunite and am very intrigued as to what will happen!

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3.07 ‘Beautiful Monster’ appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

St Pancras, London

We start the episode off seeing Niko (Owen McDonnell) alive in a hospital bed with Eve (Sandra Oh) there, along with whom we assume to be Niko’s father as he tells her that he never liked her. Once he leaves, Eve tells Niko that she will figure out who did this and he types on a tablet “piss off forever.” I think that relationship might be done.

Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is sitting at a fancy table. The woman from Episode 4 (the one at the pool with Dasha), Hélène (Camille Cotin) tells Villanelle that she is now a keeper. She gives Villanelle a postcard for her new job and Villanelle is upset that she is still doing the same thing as always. She states that ‘this is bullshit.’

Eve is at the office with Jamie (Danny Sapani) and Bear (Turlough Convery) and they are looking at all the murder victims. Eve looks at the note tied to the pitchfork used to impale Niko. She says that this can’t be about the bus as she knows that Villanelle knows she can’t touch Niko. They also have a photo of Charles’ wife, who was killed when Eve was in Poland. Bear talks to Eve and tells her that it’s okay to be struggling. He shows her a picture of Dasha (Harriet Walter), who they assume was the chalk killer of the gymnast. Eve goes over to Carolyn’s (Fiona Shaw) and asks her about Dasha. Eve wants to go to Barcelona to talk to her as she does not think Villanelle stabbed Niko. Carolyn tells her to be careful and that Dasha used to be the top assassin until she was kicked out for killing one of her own.

Russia

Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) is watching Irina’s (Yuli Lagodinsky) ice hockey game when Villanelle suddenly turns up and talks to Konstantin about what happened with her family, along with that she wants to leave with him. He tells her that they can’t all go together as it will be too easy to find them and that he doesn’t think she is ready to leave everything, such as Eve. Villanelle looks upset and asks him again. He warns Villanelle to not let anyone know. Irina also says that she does not want Villanelle to come.

Carolyn sits down next to a man on a bench and they talk about poker and he asks if she is coming. He then slides a newspaper over to her which contains Kenny’s phone records. There were incoming and outgoing calls to a Russian number and says that he had emailed the records to her already, but she never replied. Carolyn goes to her office to talk to Paul (Steve Pemberton) and then asks if he is working for The 12, which he asks her in return.

Irina is going to school and her mother’s boyfriend hands her her lunch, while Villanelle waves to her from the swings. They head to a driving range together and talk about how annoying mothers are and Irina complains about her mother’s boyfriend and how nice he is. Villanelle tells her that if he is so annoying she should just kill him. Irina lets it slip that Konstantin and her are planning on going to Cuba.

Not Cuba

Carolyn is waiting for Konstantin and she asks if they can go for a drive and he tells her that Geraldine kissed him, She then asks why Kenny called him the night before he died and he explains that Kenny wanted to know whether he was his dad.

Geraldine (Gemma Whelan) comes home and tells Carolyn that she knows she doesn’t like her. Carolyn tells her that Kenny was always hers and Geraldine was always her father’s, but that all they have left is each other. Carolyn asks Geraldine about Konstantin and is not impressed that she has been lying to her.

Konstantin has made it home after his long walk and finds Paul sitting in his dark room. He tells Konstantin that the person they are now after is the person that ordered Charles’ wife to be killed (awkward, I guess Konstantin has to go hunt himself down).

Barcelona

Dasha is bowling while Eve is watching her and she joins her. Eve tells Dasha that Niko is still alive and then Dasha tells Eve that Villanelle will never trust her and that she created Villanelle. She also tells Eve that she can’t win. Dasha also informs Eve that Villanelle is moving up in the world and they can’t touch her.

This Is Bullshit

Villanelle is sitting on a bed with pinned up hair and a man walks through a film set. Villanelle is wearing a brown wig and posing as his hair stylist when she puts a mask on his face and a dryer around his head. She stumbles and suddenly pushes the mask into his mouth, he stabs her with scissors and then he is electrocuted by the dryer. Villanelle drops the scissors and leaves.

Konstantin is packing and calls Irina and tells her to get ready. Meanwhile, Dasha finds Villanelle sitting on the bathroom floor bleeding. Villanelle tells her that she’s done. Irina’s mother’s boyfriend is putting out the bins, while Irina is sitting in the car and Konstantin is watching. Irina suddenly accelerates and hits the boyfriend with the car and drives over him. She grins at Konstantin who looks shocked. Lastly, Eve walks away from Nikos hospital bed.

Overall Thoughts?

This episode felt a bit slower than others, but was very clever. They had some really funny moments and a lot of references to winning and losing games. I’m really intrigued what Villanelle and Eve’s next moves are. Also, will Konstantin leave or not?

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3.06 ‘End of Game’ appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

Villanelle (Jodie Comer) walks into a home and looks at the pictures on the wall when a little boy sees her, followed by the rest of the family, and asks who she is. Pyotr (Rob Feldman) recognises Villanelle as his sister! Oksana is home! Villanelle talks to her young half brother, Bo’rka (Temirlan Blaev) and they talk about Elton John.

Villanelle attempts to leave when she realises her mother is coming home. Her mother (Evgenia Dodina) hugs her, but Villanelle is not impressed. They look at baby photos and Villanelle asks about her father, but her mother does not want to talk about it.

The whole family sits around the table. Her step brother, Fyodor (Dimitrij Schaad) accuses Villanelle of being a killer, but we realise that they are playing a game. They all dance to Crocodile Rock by Elton John and Villanelle joins in after a while. Pyotr is beating a couch to pieces, he has anger issues and beats wooden objects instead of people, but Villanelle tells him he should just hit people. Villanelle complains about her mother to her brother and they share a moment.

Villanelle is watching TV with Fyodor and his girlfriend, Yula (Natallia Bulynia). They fill Villanelle in on the idea that they believe the moon landing was faked and that there is a huge organisation behind everything. Villanelle finds this very amusing.

Villanelle talks to her stepdad (Predrag Bjelac) about his past marriages. She also asks him about what her mother has told him about her. He says her mother was upset about her ‘death’ and that she always thought Villanelle was a difficult child. Villanelle becomes angry and complains about her mother leaving her at the orphanage. We see Bo’rka banging his head against the wall looking upset and Villanelle’s mother gives her an outfit that she used to wear.

Harvest Festival

Yula is shooting at a target and is pretty good, Villanelle does a dung throw and wins. Bo’rka entered a cooking competition to win money to go to an Elton John concert, but doesn’t win. Yula performs a dance with her friends and Villanelle talks to Bo’rka. He tells her that their mother told him that he embarrassed the family and starts hitting his head with his hand. Villanelle tells him to stop.

Back at home, Villanelle is cutting tomatoes and when her mother turns around, Villanelle has red tears running down her cheeks. Her mother does not find this funny.

Villanelle and her mother talk after she asks her face to be cleaned because she wants to feel like a child again. Her mother asks Villanelle to leave as she does not want her darkness around anymore, but Villanelle believes her mother is. She’s not upset about being abandoned, but is upset about the fact that her mother can not admit that Villanelle is “her mother’s daughter” and that they are alike. So, with that, Villanelle says she needs to kill her and begins pouring oil on the floor. Bo’rkas’ alarm goes off and a note is lying on his bedside table, it tells him to go to the barn. He finds money and a note telling him to see Elton John and Fyodor is also sleeping in the barn. The house blows up and we see Villanelle walking away looking annoyed.

The final scene shows Villanelle sitting on the train wearing the outfit her mother gave to her.

Overall Thoughts?

This episode was very different to previous episodes, but the dark undertones of Villanelle figuring out what her family means to her was incredibly enjoyable. This episode had some very clever lines and shots and I thought the family dynamic was really well portrayed. It was great to get Villanelle’s backstory and understand why she is the way she is. I am very interested to see how this storyline will link into future episodes and whether we will see any of these characters again.

What did you think of this episode? Were you shocked to see Villanelle murder her own mother?

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3.05 ‘Are You From Pinner?’ appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

Niko (Owen McDonnell), takes a selfie in the countryside in what we assume is Poland and then heads to a bar where he receives a number of texts from Eve (Sandra Oh). 

Meanwhile, Eve is sleeping at the office and tries to make herself presentable when she gets a text from Niko. A cake is delivered to Eve, which is from Villanelle, in the shape of a London Bus, so she throws the cake off the roof. Jamie (Danny Sapani) comes to talk to Eve and we learn that it is in fact her birthday. Eve goes home with Jamie and she learns that he has/had children. They bond over their traumatic past and mistakes they have made. Eve finds a cuddly bear in her bed and stares at him, which is a reference to the bear Villanelle gave her in the previous episode.

Back at the office, Bear (Turlough Convery) discovers the murder in 1974 (Dasha’s murder victim) and they realise a connection.

In Moscow, Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) is waiting in a car outside a private school to talk to his daughter, Irina, who is not very happy with him. Konstantin then goes to talk to Charles’ wife who is upset as Charles emailed her a file, so she sends it to Konstantin and he suggests she goes to stay in their holiday home.

Villanelle is baking and listening to music when Dasha (Harriet Walter) asks who else Villanelle saw while she was in London, so she mentions Konstantin. Dasha tells her that The Twelve want to meet her and that she is going to be promoted.

Konstantin scares Villanelle and tells her that he can find out where her family is if she does something for him. Villanelle gets the hiccups.

In Lyon, Villanelle is cutting flowers in a garden. We see Charles’ wife come out to talk to her and she tries to scare Villanelle’s hiccups away, but they scare each other and chase each other around the garden laughing. Villanelle strangles her with a garden hose and then calls Konstantin that it’s done.

Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) wakes up very early and she walks past Geraldine (Gemma Whelan) without acknowledging her. Carolyn has lunch with Paul (Steve Pemperton) and asks to have her office back. She sees Konstantin walking down the street and wonders if he was at her house with Geraldine. When Carolyn gets back home, Geraldine tells her that she is worried about her and breaks down crying.

Dasha is swimming and talks to a woman about Villanelle. The woman is disappointed in Villanelle and therefore Dasha. Dasha offers to kill Eve, but the woman tells her that would cause too many problems, she suggests that she drive a wedge between the two instead.

As for Niko, he is talking to an old woman again, which we can now see is Dasha, who takes his phone and texts Eve. Dasha ties a sign to a pitch fork that says ‘still got it’. When Eve arrives, she sees Niko being stabbed in the neck by a pitch fork. This woman has seen too many people die!

Overall Thoughts?

This episode had a lot of time jumping and foreshadowing going on. I really enjoyed it! Also, wow we are getting a lot of deaths this season! Poor Eve, she needs a well deserved vacation! I can’t wait to see what happens next, I am officially hooked.

What did you think of this episode? Did you see this death coming? Tell us in the comments below!

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3.04 ‘Still Got It’ appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

Andalusa
Villanelle (Jodie Comer) sits at a piano while a woman speaks Spanish to her. Villanelle follows the woman into a different room and kills her. The nanny holds a crying baby, but she puts the baby down and Villanelle kills her.

Back in England, Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) talks to Mo (Raj Bajaj) while in the bath and Eve (Sandra Oh) also joins them. They discuss that they need to get the thumbdrive from the police and that Kenny definitely did not commit suicide. Jamie (Danny Sapani) and the other three have a ‘meeting’ about what their next step should be. 

Villanelle takes baby and sits at a restaurant with Dasha (Harriet Walter), who gets annoyed by the baby and puts her in a bin. Villanelle accepts her next job, which is in London, after some protest and saying that she isn’t ready. 

Eve is at Kenny’s workplace and is looking at the bank accounts that Kenny found with Bear (Turlough Convery). They solve the Rubik’s cube and the letters spell Panda (which links to The Twelve), so Eve tells Bear and Jamie about The Twelve. They don’t know who the Geneva account belongs to, so Eve goes and asks for Mo’s help. 

Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) visits Charles Kruger (Dominic Mafham) and Charles tells him that somebody is siphoning money from the Geneva account. He then asks Konstantin to somehow find him 6 million (the amount of money that has been siphoned). 

Mayfair, London
Villanelle has arrived in London! She goes to a perfume shop and asks the owner to make her something that smells like power and a Roman centurion who has now become emperor. We all know that this is a reference to Eve being shot in Rome.

Geraldine (Gemma Whelan) tries to talk to Carolyn, who is getting ready for a ‘date’. Carolyn seems to accidentally bump into Henrik (an old friend) and they go out for dinner. Henrik works for the Geneva bank. She tells Mo and Eve that the owner of the account is Charles Kruger. 

Villanelle is at a toy store and records a message via a talking bear. Initially she says “I should have shot you in the head.” She then changes it to “I can’t stop thinking about you.” Talk about a complicated relationship. 

Eve is waiting for Nico, but learns that he has discharged himself and did not leave her a note. The nurse does tell Eve that he mentioned something about Poland.

Eve is on the bus home, texting someone when Villanelle walks up to Eve. Eve suddenly attacks Villanelle and they fight on the bus, which leads to Villanelle on top of Eve and telling Eve to smell her. Eve kisses her, but then headbutts her. Villanelle gets off the bus and watches Eve drive away.

A bruised Eve arrives at the office and tells everyone she does not want to talk about it, but ends up confiding in Jamie. Meanwhile, Mo and Carolyn are on a stake out to spy on Charles. Charles sees Carolyn and tries to run, but they catch up to him while Villanelle is dressed as a police officer watching them. Eve figures out that Carolyn is in danger from Villanelle and tries to call both her and Mo. Carolyn sees Eve’s text just before Villanelle shoots at the car, but Charles is dead in the back seat.

Villanelle watches the news which shows the baby being reunited with her father, who is some well known politician. She comments that he looks “so happy”. Konstantin comes home and gets into bed, but Villanelle is under the covers and scares him. She tells him that she shot an accountant (Charles Kruger) and Konstantin looks surprised. She also tells him that she wants to find her family. 

Eve also finds something in her bed, a teddy bear. It says “You wish I was here.” Eve listens to it on repeat. 

Overall Thoughts?
I really enjoyed this episode. We finally got the Villanelle and Eve reunion and we even got a kiss, I was definitely not expecting that. They kept us on our toes this episode and it had a lot of funny moments. I can’t wait to see what the next episode brings!

What did you think of this episode? Were you shocked by the kiss?  Tell us in the comments below!

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3:03 “Meetings Have Biscuits” appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

We start the episode with Eve (Sandra Oh) standing outside in the rain and a man accuses her of being drunk. When she heads back inside, we realise that we are at Kenny’s funeral.

Konstantine (Kim Bodnia) talks to Eve and she tells him that they both know that Kenny did not jump. The man from outside tries to interrupt and talk to Eve again, but she escapes to the bathroom, where a girl is crying, and we see that Eve still has Kenny’s phone.

A young woman talks to Konstantin who is Kenny’s sister, Geraldine (Gemma Whelan), and remembers Konstantin from when she was younger. Eve tries to leave, but Carolyn stops her and tries to talk to her. Eve yells at Carolyn and tells her that they both know Kenny did not jump.

Barcelona
Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is walking through a very fancy house and Dasha (Harriet Walter) is also there as she got Villanelle the house. They talk about Eve and Villanelle tells Dasha that she took care of it. Villanelle learns that she has to work with someone to prove that she is ready to be a keeper.

MI6
Carolyn is back at work, although she is supposed to be on leave, when she walks into a meeting with Paul (Steve Pemperton). They both try to take charge and talk at the same time, so Paul talks to Carolyn privately and tells her to go home. Konstantin is told (by The 12) to stay in London to keep an eye on Carolyn.

Eve’s Work
Carolyn comes to visit Eve at work and they discuss that Kenny did not jump, but Carolyn tells Eve that she can’t investigate this, however, she doesn’t work for Carolyn anymore. Carolyn tells Eve that Villanelle is alive and back working for The 12, which shocks her!

Later on, Eve is sitting at a bar alone and attempting to access Kenny’s phone when it starts ringing. She then receives text messages and these let her know that these people know that Eve has the phone. When she picks up the phone, the man on the line is the man from the funeral. Jamie (Danny Sapani) was Kenny’s boss and wants Eve to give them his phone. She goes to the office and refuses to hand it over, but she tells them that she will only give them the phone if she gets access to Kenny’s files. Eve discovers that the girl crying in the bathroom was Audrey (Ayoola Smart), Kenny’s girlfriend and colleague.

Côte d’Azur, France
Villanelle is waiting for the boy she is meant to look after, Felix (Stefan Iancu). He is only nineteen and tells Villanelle all about how he killed lots of people connected to his bully. He tells Villanelle that he killed these people as one of them bullied his boyfriend, but the love was unrequited. This hits a nerve with Villanelle.

London
Konstantin purposely bumps into Geraldine. They talk and he gives her the magnet he bought earlier.

Birthday Party
Felix and Villanelle are on a job together, dressed up as clowns at a birthday party. She tells Felix to kill their target and when he takes a long time, she goes looking for him. Felix did not stab the target like intended, instead he is bashing his head against the floor, so Villanelle shoots the target and then shoots Felix. “Management sucks.”

Carolyn’s House
Eve comes to talk to Carolyn about Kenny and tells her that she has Kenny’s phone and a thumb drive. We realise that the magnet Konstantin gave Geraldine is bugged and he can hear everything.

Barcelona
Villanelle comes home and finds Konstantin inside. She is mad at him, but he tells her that Eve is alive (they both got some bombshells this episode). We also learn that Konstantin never left The 12.

Overall Thoughts?
This episode was a lot easier to watch than the previous one, however, I’m still heartbroken about Kenny’s death! We’ve been introduced to quite a few new characters so far and I’m very intrigued what their roles will be. I’m also happy that both Eve and Villanelle know that the other is alive and will hopefully see each other again soon.

The post Killing Eve Recap: 3:02 ‘Management Sucks’ appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

At the end of season 2, Eve has been left for dead in Rome as Villanelle shot her and left her behind after telling her she loved her. We are left wondering if Eve is alive…

Now, let’s recap and review what went down in the season 3 premiere!

Moscow, 1974
The episode starts off with a young female gymnast named Dasha performing on the bars, who is being watched by a young boy. The young boy hands her flowers and kisses her in the locker room, but she pushes him away and starts punching him. She kills him and positions him in a seated position and pours chalk all over him.

MI6, London (Present Day)
Carolyn (Fiona Shaw)  is in a trial and being questioned for all her unauthorised decisions and actions. We also learn that Paul is running/overseeing a desk for Carolyn.

Spain
We see a young woman giving a wedding speech when the camera cuts across and we see that the woman is getting married to Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Villanelle gives an interesting speech about her ex and when she sees an older woman standing in the doorway. She runs towards her and tackles her to the ground, yelling.

New Malden, England
Eve (Sandra Oh) is alive(!) and shopping, but she is clearly still recovering from her gunshot wound.

Barcelona, Spain
We see a photograph of the young gymnast, Dasha from earlier hanging on the wall. Villanelle is talking to the old woman and they have a tense relationship. The pair used to work together and if Villanelle comes back, they will send the old woman home. Dasha quotes the title of the episode and tells Villanelle that she has to return. Villanelle asks to be a keeper. They strangle each other and then laugh.

Kenny’s Work
Kenny (Sean Delaney) bikes to his new job as he is now working as a writer in a new office. He is researching murders, but deletes the files.

Asian Restaurant
Eve is working in the kitchen making dumplings, but she does not want to work at the front of the house. The TV behind Eve shows a woman being shot by another woman (I see what you did there).

London Gift Shop
Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) is browsing through the store when one of his many phones begins ringing. We see that Irinia is calling, but he rejects the call and then of his other phones ring, which he rejects as well. He tells the shopkeeper that he is buying the magnet for his daughter that hates London.

Later on at his house, he listens to his missed calls and it’s his daughter who is asking when he is coming back. When he receives a food delivery, at the bottom a note says “Time to go fishing.”

Gymnastic Hall
Villanelle is at a practice with Dasha coaching her and other young girls. Dasha hands Villanelle an envelope and postcard with a new job.

Eve’s House

Eve sends a toilet roll picture to someone, saying it made her think of them and then later on, Kenny visits Eve as she sent him the photo of the loo roll. Kenny tells Eve that he quit working for MI6 and is now an investigative journalist, he says he is concerned about The 12 and that he has been researching them. Kenny asks if she is still in touch with…. Eve assumes he means Villanelle and states that she is done with her, but Kenny actually meant Nico (Owen McDonnell). Eve tells Kenny that they still see each other every now and then.

Eve later visits Nico. They talk and he signs some documents regarding their house, while telling her that he deserves more than her.

Girona, Spain
Villanelle is dressed as a delivery person (she is truly iconic with all her undercover outfits). She talks to a woman in the store and when the woman climbs the ladder, Villanelle pulls it from under her. The woman crashes to the ground, but she attacks Villanelle. Villanelle hits her with a jar, positions her in a seated position, and then pours some sort of spice on her, which is a parallel to how Dasha killed the young boy, years earlier.

Carolyn’s Home
Carolyn is packing up belongings, while Kenny tries to stand up to her and we learn that they are moving.

Kenny’s Work
Eve tells Kenny that she will come out with him and his friends, but when Eve comes to pick Kenny up from work, he’s not there and has left his phone. She sees someone falling off the building and runs outside to find Kenny lying on the ground. Dead.

Overall Thoughts?
This episode was once again beautifully shot and it’s great to be back with these characters. I got a bit annoyed at the constant switch between characters and locations, but I am very intrigued where this season is heading. I have so many questions and am still confused, but let’s see what happens in Episode 2. Alright, now I’m going to go and cry about Kenny’s death.

Based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings, BBCA’s Killing Eve centers on two women; Eve (Oh) is a bored, whip-smart, pay-grade MI5 security officer whose desk-bound job doesn’t fulfil her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle (Comer) is a mercurial, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse.

BBCA President Sarah Barnett says, “In Killing Eve, a genius bunch of women behind and in front of the camera transcend the predictable with this funny and heart-stopping twisted cat and mouse thriller. From creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge — with remarkable performances from Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer — Killing Eve stands out in a sea of scripted stories as refreshingly entertaining and great fun.”

CHARACTERS:

• Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) – Eve always dreamed that she’d be working as a spy in a secret assassin-hunting department for MI5, but really she is just a desk jockey tasked with assigning protection to foreign people of interest during their trips to London. Always fascinated by women in crime, she excelled in her degree in criminal psychology. Underneath her air of “a woman content with her lot in life” is a woman looking for trouble. To combat her boredom, Eve has secretly been tracking a new female assassin. Eve wants it all, the action, the blood, the rule breaking and the femme-fatales. But she’s beginning to realise her secret passion for the gloriously awful may be nothing but a fantasy. Until one day, her fantasy crosses her path.
• Villanelle (Jodie Comer) – Villanelle possesses a cold brutality under her innocent-looking exterior. With an appetite for killing groaning in her gut, she is a living, breathing, shopping, killing psychopath. Contentedly living outside any human moral code, Villanelle kills with flare, recklessness and absolutely no conscience. She has an impulsive side that lets her down. Her ego requires her to feel invincible and essential, and then there’s a certain kind of woman… early 40s, dark full-bodied hair, no make-up, ill-fitting clothes, a quiet kindness. Any or all of these things could tip her into orchestrating her own downfall.
• Niko Polastri (Owen McDonnell) – Eve’s husband Niko is strong, moral and appreciates the simple things in life. He was born in England to Polish immigrant parents and grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. He has an aversion to violence, and can’t understand Eve’s fascination with darkness and criminality. He’s smart, wildly compassionate and though he perhaps can’t admit it to himself, prefers his wife in a boring desk job than in close proximity to danger.
• Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) – Konstantin is not afraid of anything or anyone. He has seen more broken bones and shattered spirits in his life than anyone would dare to imagine. He recruits and runs assassins, but none more complex and demanding than Villanelle. He understands that her ego is a beast, and he is constantly walking the tightrope of being able to manage it. He doesn’t always know who she is going to kill, he just tells her she has to.
• Bill Pargrave (David Haig) – He and Eve have worked together for over ten years – they have a great relationship. Bill humors Eve’s conspiracies, teases her and also dismisses them. She has been right once or twice, but when she is, there is normally a whole load of bureaucratic red tape bullshit to have to sort through that, these days, he’d rather not have to deal with. He is solid, but tired. When Eve proposes he join her in a secret assassin tracking unit with MI6, he discovers he may have some life left in him yet.
• Elena Felton (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) – A working class girl who studied computer studies at Sheffield, Elena could easily be mistaken for a career office worker for MI5, but in truth, she is strategically climbing the ladder until she can move sideways and become a spy. She knows she’d be brilliant at it and is moved by Eve’s faith in her. She hasn’t had many champions in her life.
• Carolyn Martens (Fiona Shaw) – Charismatic, erudite, incredibly well-read and irreverent, Carolyn is a principled yet ruthless leader in her field. As a young agent on the ground in Moscow in the 80s, she cultivated one of MI6’s most valuable assets and has since saved the world at least three times.
• Kenny (Sean Delaney) – Kenny is a bonafide computer whiz and gamer, low on social skills but brilliant at what he does. He’d be at the top of his game if it weren’t for his impossible eccentricities. Desperate for the attention of the opposite sex but existing mainly online, he rarely gets a chance to socialize. The thought of actually dating a real woman is terrifying, better to get the take-out and live with his mom. Then he meets Elena, falls in love instantly and completely freaks out.

The series is produced by Sid Gentle Films Ltd. for BBC AMERICA with Waller-Bridge serving as lead writer, showrunner and executive producer and written by Phoebe Waller Bridge (Fleabag). Sally Woodward Gentle and Lee Morris are executive producers, with Colin Wratten serving as producer and Sandra Oh serving as associate producer.

Starring alongside Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) and Jodie Comer (The White Princess) are Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter), Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Downward Dog), Kim Bodnia (The Bridge), David Haig (Penny Dreadful), Sean Delaney, and Owen McDonnell (My Mother and Other Strangers).

Killing Eve will premiere Sunday, April 8, at 8/7c on BBC America.
