A brand new series of Killing Eve is finally upon us after the BBC brought forward its release to help us through the current lockdown situation.
The one problem with that, however, it that it has given us all less time than we’d anticipated to rewatch the second series and remind ourselves of where we left Eve and Villanelle.
But we’ve got you covered. Here’s a quick guide to what happened in the last series’ climax…
The latter part of series two of Killing Eve saw Eve and Villanelle team up to track down tech boss Aaron Peel, who MI6 believed was about to sell a lethal weapon.
Villanelle went undercover to live with Peel, while Eve monitored the pair from a hotel room in Rome.
However, Eve and Villanelle had strict instructions not to kill him, which proved to be a test for a bloodthirsty Villanelle.
After hearing Villanelle’s safeword, Eve rushed to Peel’s mansion to rescue her, blowing her cover. He then tried to persuade Villanelle to kill Eve and team up with him, but she slit his throat.
Having gone against MI6′s instructions not to kill him, Eve’s boss Carolyn revealed that killing Peel had actually been their aim all along – they wanted him dead but without being directly responsible.
Villanelle’s handler Konstantin, who has a past relationship with Carolyn, also informed her that she the operation had been set up.
MORE KILLING EVE:
Back at the hotel, Villanelle was attacked by the 12’s Raymond. Witnessing this, Eve then killed him with an axe, much to to Villanelle’s delight.
Eve then discovered that Villanelle was in possession of a gun the whole time, meaning she never had to kill Raymond.
After Eve ran out, Villanelle confessed her love to Eve, but she walked away, prompting an enraged Villanelle to shoot her in the back and leave her for dead…
Killing Eve returns to the BBC iPlayer on 13 April, with new episodes every Monday from 6am. Each episode will also air on Sunday nights on BBC One from 19 April.
