I don’t really have the mental bandwidth for a good Killing Eve Recap, but I’d like to watch the show and I am two episodes behind. So this one is going to have to be written while I’m riding the struggle bus and it might be a little bit of a bumpy ride. You can catch up on episode one of this season here, and episode two here.
We begin in Andalusia where Villanelle is settling in to her palace and tuning her piano. Oh wait, isn’t her palace in Barcelona? It looks like she’s about to kill a bitch with a tuning fork. Yep! She threw it like a dart to the back of her head and she was deader than a door nail just like that. So it was super quiet when she heard a baby crying. Then she heard the nanny singing to the baby. I’m sure the nanny is about to die with the same murder weapon (that part is kind of disappointing) but I hope she doesn’t kill the baby! Yep nanny gets it in the forehead after begging Villanelle not to kill the baby. I have a feeling she’ll take the baby with her.
The Bin Baby
But we must wait to find out the fate of the baby. Carolyn is holding a meeting in her bathroom. She’s in a bubble bath having a drink. Her new assistant,Mo , it using the toilet as a seat as they look over the coroners report on Kenny’s death. Then Eve joins the meeting along with Jaime, the head of Bitter Pill the company where Kenny worked. Carolyn eventually gets dressed and the meeting moves to the kitchen table. No one seems how to progress with their mission to find out who killed Kenny. Eve says,”Excellent! Good meeting!” Jaime says the titular line, “Meetings have biscuits.” I totally expected that to be Villanelle’s line.

And I was correct. Villanelle has taken the baby out for vodka and tapas with Dasha. It’s a hysterical scene. Dasha is not pleased with the baby and when the baby tosses a piece of bread at her, Dasha picks the baby up and places her in the outdoor trashcan. Villanelle thinks that is funny. But when Dasha tells her that her next job is in London, she’s isn’t in a laughing mood anymore.
It looks like Eve is going to work with Jaime and Bear (from Bitter Pill) and Carolyn and Mo will work through MI6 or whatever they are these days. Eve and Bear figure out that Kenny had named his account Panda.
Fat Pandas & Dickswabs
On his computer he has photos of Frank Haleton aka the dickswab who fired Eve and Bill. He was the mole who was working undercover at MI5 and reporting to the twelve. Villanelle killed him via castration while he was wearing a dress. The other face on his computer was Fat Panda a Chinese hacker who according to the Internet was also killed by Villanelle at a BDSM place in Berlin. What do these two dead bodies have in common? I dunno yet. And also, later on when Kenny and Eve talked he told her that the dickswab and the fat panda’s accounts both showed activity. I wonder what kind of accounts. Bank accounts? Email accounts? Credit card accounts? all of the above. The dickswab may be alive y’all!

From Eve’s rapid paced dialogue this episode, “Fat Panda was a Chinese intelligence officer who was killed in Berlin. He was tracking a double agent for the twelve who was being paid from a bank account in the Caymans.” The double agent was dickswab. The Cayman island account has had three bank transfers in the last two months totaling just over six million € and the rest was transferred to Geneva. Eve strongarms Mo into investigating the owner of the Geneva Account.
The Smell of Power
Konstantin meets up with an old associate, Charles Kruger. As soon as he said he was going to his son’s graduation soon, I knew he was Villanelle’s next mark. Oh apparently, he runs the Geneva account. He tells Konstantin that a sizeable chunk of money has been siphoned from the account. So it looks like the six million euros came out of the Geneva account and into the Caymans account. Konstantin is going to look into it. Charles wants money to tide him over until he can look into the matter himself. For a mind I thought Konstantin was going to kill Charles right there. Somebody is going to kill Charles by the end of the episode. He seems to be worried about that himself.

Next, we see Villanelle in Mayfair, the fanciest part of London. She goes to a perfumer. He seems afraid of her right away, even before she say, “I want to smell powerful. I want to make her gag with it. Can you do that?” And I believe this is our first smell reference of the season. sociopaths usually have no sense of smell. She puts a stack of money on his desk and tells him a story about a roman warrior to describe the scent she wants.
Talking Bears
Carolyn had some sort of date but she got stood up. On the way out she runs into Henrik someone from her dating past 20 years ago. Coincidence? I think not. Henrik takes her out to dinner. Carolyn asks how Geneva is treating him. She loves some good financial gossip. Carolyn is next seen extremely hungover with Mo and Eve hovering over her. She somehow did find out who owns the Geneva account. It seems there never was a date at all, she was tailing Henrik. They find out Charles Kruger owns the account. Carolyn of course had a fling with him back in the day. His real name is Sergei Korchmoref from East Berlin. Eve immediately expects he is the accountant for the twelve.

Eve goes to visit Niko in the looney bin. He checked himself out a week ago. She has no idea where he is other than he did say something about Poland. Eve is devastated. Meanwhile, Villanelle is shopping for stuffed animals and giving me hope she didn’t kill the baby. She tries to record a phrase for a bear. She starts with I should have shot you in the head. Then, she retapes I should have shot you in the head and watched you die. Then, she records, “I can’t stop thinking about you.”
Star-crossed Lovers
A despondent Eve sits quietly alone on a bus. Villanelle gets on the bus and walks up to her wearing an oversized men’s suit and asks her how she is. A violent brawl breaks out and I think this scene is Eve’s daydream or something. But when Villanelle holds Eve down and asks her to smell her (Eve can’t smell either) I know it’s for real. Eve kisses Villanelle and then rares back and headbutts her hard. Villanelle gets off the bus looking fantastic and happy. Eve goes to her desk at Bitter Pill with torn clothes, a bloody nose and crazy hair.

The next day, Villanelle has some killing to do. Charles aka Sergei is her target. She is dressed like police officer on a motorcyle. Carolyn also wants to get some information from her old friend. Unfortunately, Carolyn and Villanelle are staking him out at the same time. When Sergei sees Carolyn he takes of running but seems to be terribly ill. Carolyn has Sergei in her car. She’s intimidating him by discussing the son’t graduation.
Death Comes In Threes
Then Eve calls. Eve is sure that Villanelle is there to kill Carolyn. But Carolyn doesn’t take the call. Suddenly, Villanelle who is still dresses as a motorcycle cop hits the lights and sirens to try to pull Carolyn, Charles/Sergei and Mo over. Villanelle walks up to the car shooting through Carolyn’s window to the back of the car hitting Sergei and splattering his brains all over the back window. The good news is that the baby was reunited with her father. Villanelle struggles to see the happiness on the father’s face. Because, sociopath. Speaking of sociopaths, when Caroline gets home, Geraldine tries to hug her. She does not hug her back. Instead, she asks for a whiskey. Our third sociopath, Eve, just sits at a bus stop not moving when the bus comes.

Villanelle hides in Konstantin’s bed and scares the crap out of him. He’s exhausted and just wants to sleep. She is wondering what kind of baby she was and if people smiled with joy when they saw her. She tells Konstantin that he is more boring than the accountant she just shot, and accountants are very boring. Konstantin tells her she was an ugly baby. She wants to find her family. Konstantin goes to sleep on the couch.
Eve goes to bed in her apartment and hears Villanelle’s voice. It’s the teddy bear saying, “Admit it Eve, you wish I was here.”
I watched this episode last week but I read your recap so I can recall key details from this season so far
Villanelle’s sense of humour is slowly rubbing on me – the baby throwing food at Dasha lol !
Dave, thanks for commenting. There are like twelve people who read these recaps. This place just isn’t the right audience. But I NEED to recap this show. I miss so much of what is going on. So these recaps are just for me, and the rest of you who still appreciate great TV. So these recaps are really for me and the rest is… a job I am thankful to have.
Make that thirteen! Love this show and thanks for recommending it a while back. I binged the entire series but am slowly getting caught up on these last two episodes of season 3! I appreciate your recaps because I just can’t with the misogyny channel anymore. I boycotted it for NYE resolution but all bets were off once quarantined. Even quarantined the Bravo shows don’t keep my attention anymore and I literally fall asleep every time I try to watch one of them!
As an aside, do you know if Showtime’s “How to become a God in Central Florida” has been renewed for another season? Somewhere someone mentioned Mary Steenbugen a few days (weeks? I have no sense of time anymore,lol) and it made me think of the show. Talk about good tv shows! Loved that one too! 🙂
Love these Killing Eve recaps and need them as there is so much more to the plotline that you catch by reading your recaps. Thank you for the deep dives!
Thanks for reading. These posts don’t get many views but I need them too to sort out what I am watching. The stress of quarantine has made my brain mushy.
Until the end I, too, thought the bus scene was some type of dream.
Whenever I hear the British “biscuits,” (aka cookies), I think of the sappy rock star interviews from 16 and Tiger Beat in the 1969s. “What’s your favorite color?” and “What’s your favorite food?” Brian Jones said “chocolate biscuits.” American girls started tossing chocolate BISQUICK biscuits onstage. (Like hard jelly beans instead of soft jelly babies at the Beatles.) I thought I was so cool, knowing biscuits were cookies. Thanks to the enema-obsessed British neighbor.
Leading up to — not an idle random question — What is YOUR favorite color, Tamara?
What is Bisquick?
I vaguely remember a corn beef hash recipe from MizGrandma and it mentioned BISQUICK which sounded yummy.
TT kindly explained to me all about Thanksgiving peeps.
I’m not really sure what Bisquick is but it is mostly flour and I guess all the stuff you need to make biscuits so it prolly has a bit of shortening in there? I buy it when I want to take cheese straws to a party,
So I guess your need question is what are cheese straws and that makes me cry for you, And now that I think of it, I am not sure I have ever bought Bisquick. So I dunno, You can use it to make pancakes. It’s dried flour and who know what in a box. I think it is like pancake mix.
But Cheese straws,.. I have not cooked for others in so long are mostly grated cheese and flour (maybe I used Bisquick) and.. salt and Cayenne pepper. They are baked and are delicious. You can by the store bought kind here. And I would eat the whole box but mine were better.
I am also crying and drooling at the thought of YOUR cheese straws,
I might try a Yorkie Pudding batter with MizGrandmas recipe.
Hope you are sleeping better TT.
Love to Banjo, I had visions of you and Banjo singing alone to Philip Philips on American Idol the other night…Made me smile.
Hello? Bisquik is most definitely for making the old sausage balls: Bisquik, hot jimmy dean sausage and sharp grated cheddar. Mix thoroughly and roll into balls, put on greased (or sprayed with Pam) cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Best to double the batch and freeze one batch. Then you can just microwave from frozen or thawed in fridge and they freeze/reheat well. Really good snack for watching tv and being horizontal any time of day! Although I might have to make some cheese straws too! Sounds so good!
While I’m at the cooking thing here, got sick of making banana bread with all the leftover bananas, so I started making banana pudding with nilla wafers and whipped cream (can easily do with merengue if you prefer) but it’s really hit the spot served chilled on the hot days. Yummy yummy for my for my growing tummy! 😋
It’s 3am in Spain and I suddenly want a Banoffi Pie and cheese straws.!!
For cheese straws it is quite simple It’s just flour (or bisquick, lol) and cayenne pepper (or some sort of heat) not too much and a bit of salt, mix that together, Combine cheese (a lot) and butter. Mix dry with moist. Twirl into “sticks/ straws” and bake for about ten or fifteen minutes at about 350F. Why am I not making these now?
Dear GAWD I LOVE ME SOME SAUSAGE BALLS.
If you freeze the over-ripe bananas they make a banana liquor that makes whatever you make with over-ripe bananas even better. Plus, you don’t have to make the choice of tossing out or ODing on banana stuff.
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!! Lol I don’t mean that in an accusatory way, I mean it in a should have have ordered bananas sort of way. I think I have a frozen on in my freezer kind of way.
Nanette, please give directions for this frozen overripe banana liquor. I’m not a drinker but I keep fucking up my online grocery orders and I think I’m ordering four bananas and I keep getting four bunches instead so I continue to have an abundance of bananas and I hate to let shit go to waste. At this stage of the game I wouldn’t be opposed to some home made hooch. It’s B-A-N-A-N-A-S here! Lol
Hi Tamara
Hope you are feeling better and not over doings things.
I am planning to watch Season 3 this evening.
I had a little wobble this morning.
My doorbell rang this morning, I nearly shit myself.
Praise be Jesus, Mary and JoJo, toilet paper was available.
The last time my doorbell rang was March 10th, my phone starts ringing.WTF!!!
I went straight into a major menopause moment; I can feel the heat rushing up my body, hot flushes, looking at the door, looking at the phone. NOOOOOOO
My brain is demanding I remove my clothes, Take em off, Take em off RIGHT FECKING NOW, ignore the fecking door, ignore the fecking phone just get fecking naked .
The doorbell is DING DONG, DING DONG, DING FECKING DONGING at me and the phone is still ringing.
I am now stripped down to my knickers, and I am shouting in what I can only call Spanglish
“Who is there” I can hear someone but I cannot understand a word they are saying.
“Un momento, Un momento, telephono is ringing” more Spanglish.
Grab the phone and I now have cold rivers of sweat running everywhere and I feel chilly, I need a towel.
CALLER: “Hablo Espanol”
ME: NO
Brain is thinking if you are a cold caller I will lose my shit.
She then tells me in English there is a man at my front door WTF!!
ME: Perdona!!!!! Hombre
BRAIN: How do you know there is a man at my door and is there the slight chance you may also know I am just in my knickers? I am losing the plot.
CALLER: We are from the town hall. He has a package for you. He is wearing PPE protection.
ME: Can you contact him and tell him to leave package outside.
CALLER: NO, you have to sign for it and he needs to scan your ID.
ME: Sorry, not possible, you can keep your package.
CALLER: It is your PPE and community information.
I stuck on my dressing gown, put my mask on, there was no way I could cope with latex gloves, next best thing oven mitts.
DO not ever sign for a package wearing oven mitts.
My package contained more masks, latex gloves, 2 bars of Aloe Vera soap and a lot of information to read.
I cannot believe how panicky I got over my door bell being rung.
Enjoy your day peeps xx
Wait! You are an Irish woman living in Spain who doesn’t speak English? No wonder things are so topsy turvy. Even without coronavirus it would be a jumble. It would SEEM there should be a better way for you to sign for the package. Shoot a photo of your ID or something. At least you didn’t have to sign for a bus birthday cake.
We are not allowed copies of ID, NIE, Resedencia, passports during this type, it has to be original documents.
You can live with your husband, sleep in the same bed however you cannot share a car as only one allowed, we are excited as on Monday 2 people in car.
I speak English but not my first language so brain imploded and English and Spanish became Spanglish.
How is your restaurant marketing going?
Did we all miss someone’s BIRTHDAY and when is the virtual party???
A birthday of someone and a “twin”? I missed my dog’s getday, which was yesterday, I am forgetting all kinds of things. The TV guide is my calender. You write as though you’ve mastered English. Often, it is hard to grasp the humor, and you’ve done that too.
Sorry Nanette, I am being a numpty Irish woman, for the first 9 years I spoke and wrote in Irish and then the Ninja Nuns came along and English arrived.
When I say I am a hybrid Irish woman mum was from the South and dad was from the North, different religions, a difficult place and time for my folks, so I lived on an island with my Grandma Population 1129 Population now around 500
I have dual nationality Brit and Irish believe me a sense of humor was necessary.
I left Ireland when I was 13, I bounced around Scotland, Wales, Italy, Cyprus and Germany till I moved back to Scotland early and after many other countries I finally settled in Spain 24 years ago.
I live in Spain as a European citizen and I work in Gibraltar as a UK citizen.
2 Tax Returns which is a nightmare June in Spain and November in Gib.
I go back to Ireland every September for 4 weeks to teach Irish, watch the whales, dolphins, drink the golden nectar and listen to stories and sing out of key.
I enjoy a simple life which is why I always tell Spanish cold callers no habla Espanol
Happy Belated Dog Getday
Tuatha, I have to agree with Nanette here. Your English is impeccable and I never would have guessed that it wasn’t your first language. It’s better than some Americans (see Cynthia Bailey comments, lol). And I just wanted to tell you that I always enjoy your comments! Very glad you joined our tribe! ❤️
Fascinating. You and TT have lived all over the world!
Have you ever taken a trip in one of those Traveler (😥gypsy is non-PC nowadays) wagons? I have wanted to do that since the 1960s. The Fiancée is trying her best to get Tamara to do that for the wedding/honeymoon.
No I haven’t , however I nearly got arrested in Luxor due to a similar type of wagon, and a seriously underweight horse.
I had to give the policeman €75 so I didn’t end up in jail.
More important I have the outfit for the wedding, did you send my invite to Manila rather than Manilva ?
Are we having cheese straws?
