Killing Eve Recap: Just Dunk Me

The last Killing Eve recap I wrote ended with Villanelle and Eve meeting on a bridge. Villanelle basically said she didn’t want to be a killer anymore. Eve said she wanted a normal life, but she can’t see a future without Villanelle.  They both felt like the monsters inside them brought out the worst in each other. They turned their backs to each other agreeing to walk away without looking back. So let’s see where we pick up.

If The Van Is A Rocking, Don’t Start Knocking

Wow. That is a shocker. A female on a motorcycle shows up to a building in Russia. She physically attacks a guard and points a guy at a passerby and struts into a room where a woman is giving Konstantin Vasiliev a head massage with one of those weird wire things. She points the gun at him and he says, “If I’m going to die, can I take this off? The headline would not be good.” Then woman rips off the helmet and we are all expecting Villanelle but it’s EVE! Wait, is Konstantin a mayor now? Eve interrogates him about the whereabouts of Helene, boss of the now dead Dasha, and top ranking member of the twelve. Konstantin gives her a name of a contact. Then, he asks her why she doesn’t just ask Villanelle?  He tells her whatever she is doing, she won’t come out alive. She replies with, “Thank God.”

In other shocking news, we find Villanelle performing a solo in church. Because, the darkness has left her now, or something. Is that really Jodie Comer singing? Then we go right back to Eve who seems weary in her Russian Apartment. She has a board with photos of Konstanin and probably the suspected twelve. Then she takes a protein shake to a hot co-worker in a van full of surveillance equipment. It seems like they are more than friends. You go Eve! But it must be an open relationship because he missed work to go take part in a threesome. As one does. He gives her an invitation to Villanelle’s baptism. She rips it up. He realizes that she shot someone. This turns them both on and so they have sex in the van.

Carolyn Has Been Fired From MI16

We leave Russia for Mallorca, Spain to pay a visit to Carolyn. She is napping behind her desk as her assistant reads her very boring agenda for the day. It appears that the twelve have been separated and given mundane, legal forms of employment. And Eve, and the hot guy, Yusef? Are after them. Caroline meets with a “Mr. Smith” they have lunch in her offices.

He is there to tell her about a new gruesome murder, a man was tortured and fileted alive in Prague. Caroline says the gruesome photos remind her of something. She doesn’t say what. Then Hugo walks in and announces that he has been promoted at MI16. Caroline apparently was fired. Hugo is a snot to her and she has him thrown out. Hugo threatens to have Caroline arrested for killing the accountant in season three.

Meanwhile, Villanelle has been living with the pastor and his daughter? She cooks for them and makes them fish and loaves every night  because it is from the Bible. The pastor suggests that she can branch out to non-Biblical foods. He prayer is, “For what we are about to receive, may the Lord make you thank me.” She hasn’t quite nailing the praying thing yet. Also, the cat is named Lucifer and he hates her. LOL. The pastor doesn’t want his daughter to be friends with her, but she thinks Villanelle, or Nelle as they call her is perfect. That night Villanelle prays for a new life. She is nice to the cat. The cat bites her and drowns in the bathtub. Villanelle goes to the daughter’s room, she asks May to stroke her hair and tell her why she likes her so much. This interrupted May’s writing she’s writing church porn. LOL. I love this show.

Eve Has A Run-In With Caroline

The new Eve seems to always be training. She’s a trained assassin now? Caroline shows up at the end of her run. Eve is not interested in whatever she wants.  Caroline let’s us know that Eve is working for a private security firm. She suspects she is still tracking the Twelve. Apparently, the twelve are all being murdered in gruesome ways. Caroline says she will pay her, she has plenty of money and no one to spend it on. Um what about her daughter? Eve takes the file, even though she claims she wants them all dead.

Meanwhile the Pastor explains to Villanelle the baptism rituals. She knows all of the dialogue. Villanelle has a guest coming to the baptism. I suppose that is Eve. She picks the perfect pew for her to sit in. The pastor informs her that there are no reserved seats. Then, another member of the congregation arrives with the blood body of dead Lucifer the cat. The priest takes Villanelle into his office where she tells him she was burying the cat when she found it on the side of the rode while taking blankets to the homeless. He is hesitant to baptize her. He asks if she believes in God. She says being around people who believe in God is good for her.

Eve heads to the funeral home where Helene’s last known contact was buried. The guy was more concerned with selling caskets. So, Eve wanders around and finds the mortuary. The female mortician (not Phaedra Parks) basically ignores her. Eventually, she goes to see if there was a contact for the dead woman. While she waits she seems morbidly intrigued by the dead body. The mortician comes back with no information. She seems sketchy. Or maybe it’s just because she is a mortician.

The Baptism

At the church, Villanelle is inconsolable because of the dozen people in the room, Eve is not one of them. She interrupts the service and demands that the priest just dunk her. He keeps going with the rites so she just dunks herself. Can you do that? LOL. And yet, Villanelle still lives with the priest and his daughter May. Villanelle has helped herself to May’s dead mother’s clothes.

Back over to Eve and Yusef’s apartment, Yusef is going through the files that Caroline gave them. He says there are good leads. But, Eve is talking about the mortician at the funeral home she thinks she is a recruit for the twelve. Something about the look in her eye disturbed Eve. Eve goes out to get some nuts? I think she is in the hotel lobby. I guess it is not an apartment at all. So, why would she have all her work laid out on the wall if it is not a secure apartment? Or maybe it is an apartment with a concierge? I dunno.  And there she runs into Villanelle. Villanelle tells Eve she forgives her for not coming to her baptism. Villanelle says she has changed. Eve says she has changed too. Villanelle prays for her. Eve slaps Villanelle. She says she is a different person now.

Next, we see Eve walking around some weird place. I think she is following, the mortician, Pam. But, Pam blindsides her and attacks her out of nowhere. Then runs off. It’s warning. Pam leaves in a car, and Helene is in the car with her window rolled down so Eve can see her. That’s either just stupid, or a way to lure Eve further in. Eve says, “found her” as if that wasn’t a deliberate set up.

Jesus Saves

Then, we see Villanelle back in the church. It’s empty. She starts talking to Jesus on the cross. She tells him it is very much in his interest for her to believe in him. After she asks the statue to wink at her and he doesn’t, she says, “See? I knew you weren’t real.” On her way out she runs into May. May still thinks she is the best person in the world. They kiss. And then Villanelle is back to killing people. She drowns May in the baptismal fount. But she keeps looking at a painting of Jesus. Did she think he winked at her? Something happened and she pull May out and resuscitates her. She rocks her back and forth like a baby and then says, “Oh I didn’t kill you!” Which apparently means Jesus is real.

Meanwhile in Moscow, Caroline runs into Vlad, who greets her with, “Hello Traitor. ” Once again I have to Google Vlad. They are old friends from the Konstantin days. And had something to do with a plutonian situation back in the day? I don’t remember that.

Back at the priest’s house, May is not speaking to Villanelle. Obviously. And things are awkward. And things get even more awkward when Villanelle seems to hallucinate Jesus in in the living room watching TV eating popcorn. Who knew Jesus likes popcorn? Also Jesus is being played by Jodie Comer. So it’s Villanelle as Jesus. That’s relatable I guess. Villanelle asks, “What is next?” and “Jesus” says, “Easy, I lead you to salvation. And that is where the episode end. Um okay.

Kinda Off Topic

This recap took several hours because basically, I have to Google who. Lawn Kid showed up for the day asking for work. So, I gave him a few tasks and paid him enough so he can pay off a small fee for missing a court case over an expired license plate on a car that he somehow acquired and no long runs. But he got the bird nest out of the mailbox and may have even fixed it. If so that saved me the money for a replacement. He also weeded a garden and did a few other little things like getting my trash to the curb. I wasn’t able to do that last week so that was really helpful.
