'Killing Eve' S02, Ep04: Eve Prepares for Some "Desperate Times" (PREVIEW)
At the end of "The Hungry Caterpillar", Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) made one of the bigger mistakes that she's made on Killing Eve to date- she put on the lipstick that Villanelle (Jodie Comer) left in her pocket.
Why she did this in the first place is questionable, but Villanelle's obsession with Eve has been maliciously playful for the most part, and she knows what looks good on Eve- from the right way to wear her hair, to what kind of accessories she should wear.
So, when Eve finds a little lipstick clue in her pocket, it is, of course, the perfect color for her.
Too bad it had a razor blade in it.
The suspense between hunter and prey is ratcheting up again, as the second season of Killing Eve builds on the complex relationship the two leads have with each other. Eve is hunting Villanelle with investigative prowess, while Villanelle hunts Eve through the power of whimsical psychosis.
She's also one of the most efficient and baffling murderers Eve has ever encountered.
There's so much charisma and energy at play between Oh and Comer, and that alone could carry the show- luckily, there's a whole lot more giving Killing Eve life. The ensemble cast is excellent, the shooting locations exotic, and the soundtrack is absolutely mesmerizing.
Monday, April 28th, BBC America and AMC will debut "Desperate Times", which is a bit of an understatement.
Eve's marriage to Niko (Owen McDonnell) is on life support, Carolyne (Fiona Shaw) has a missing asset, and Eve somehow managed to put Villanelle in an even more dangerous vantage point- namely, back under the management of Konstantin (Kim Bodniaback).
Then there's the matter of Villanelle's new (now old) handler, Raymond (Adrian Scarborough). Raymond has already shown himself to be a bit of a sadist, and he's probably not thrilled that his charge just bolted on him.
Desperate times indeed! Here's a peek at the new episode:
