Killing Eve 3.3 Meetings Have Biscuits
Carolyn was the queen of English eccentricity, unbuttunoed-up grief, and the scene with the gunshot was gripping, although up to that point, I had been sure that the accountant was Villanelle’s target.
And then it was all a bit of a weir letdown because they’d teased killing Carolyn, the number three most important character (sorry, Konstantin, but you are definitely number four.) So soon after killing Kenny, while we had the interesting dynamics at home with daughter Geraldine and at secret work with Mo. Bitter Pill and Eve!? But they didn’t go there, and it was, as I say, a weird let-down.
Of course the big thing was Villanelle and Eve’s encounter, after Eve was informed that no, Nico was serious about ditching her last week, in a dingy grey bus travelling through rainy streets (overriding my current responses to buses). To all the people watching the violent attack that was initiated by Eve and turned into fight fight kiss kiss – stay well out of it. It makes for great TV, though.
It was probably something the show needed as they’d both been on parallel tracks and Villanelle knew Eve had survived now.
I enjoyed/appreciated: Villanelle being annoying about the piano note, the fact she’d kidnapped the baby for her own entertainment, Dasha just dumping the child (though it was for the best that the baby didn’t spend much longer with Villanelle), the perfume scene with the oddly specific story (although failed manager of other assassins is not the same as an emperor, Villanelle) and the psychedelia of the build-a-bear shop…
She blabbed a little too much, though, to Eve (I’m not here for you) and Konstantin (he must have picked up that he wouldn’t need to find the money any more).
Eve got good and traumatised after showing flickers of re-energised, on-a-mission Eve. But at least she’s honest now that she’s endangered the Bitter Pill lot.
Carolyn engineering the meet with her ex was brilliantly played. Basically, if the show did kill Fiona Shaw’s character off before the final episode, it would be very stupid.
The music continues to be less sophisticated and more on the nose than it thinks it is.
But will Villanelle’s quest for her family (she wasn’t the only one who was loose-lipped) lead to interesting parallels with Fiona-Geraldine-(Kenny)? Or are we meant to theorise that she’s Konstantin’s daughter…with Dasha? There were references to past events this episode that showed up to me that I don’t enjoy total recall of all that’s happened on the show.
