(Wear it down, Villanelle advised.)

Its a difficult tonal trick to pull off, and Waller-Bridge keeps narrowly missing the bulls-eye in this hour.

Why are you doing this to me?

her victim asks as shes about to shoot him.

I have no idea, she replies, then smirks as she watches him die.

Shes a bit of a loon, too!

Its like Ive walked into the inside of my brain, remarks Eve.

(Thats a lot to place on womens intuition.)

If I were Carolyn, Id investigate the morale problem at my nine-to-five.

As Eve gets promoted to Worker of the Month, Villanelle is proving to be a problem employee.

He drags her to see a psychologist, who asks Villanelle if she still dreams about Anna.

Villanelle looks upset for a long time, then laughs.

Your face, she says.

Sebastian, you in danger, boy.

Workaholism is both Eve and Villanelles default mode.

But the entrepreneurs soft heart leads to her downfall: Villanelle has poisoned the perfume.

As the older woman dies, the assassin looks at her face with pride and fascination.

I hope Waller-Bridge gives Villanelles sociopathy some dimensions soon.

Even harsher: Sebastians accidental death after trying on Villanelles scent.

Harshest yet: the truth that Konstantin drops on Villanelle that MI6 is searching for her.

Villanelle Googles the name of the detective after her and is shocked to discover that theyve already met.

Meanwhile, Eve casts a wide net in her search for Villanelle.

Id be more annoyed if the scene didnt ring so true.

A fair amount of seemingly intractable life problems have definitely been solved through chance encounters in womens bathrooms.
