Killing Eve Season 4 Episode 3 Villanelle Twist Explained By Writer
The lead writer for Killing Eve, Laura Neal, explains the pivotal twist that occurred in the most recent episode of the show's fourth season. Based on the novellas by Luke Jennings and created for television by the iconic Phoebe Waller-Bridge, fans of the psychological drama had to wait nearly two years for the newest season, which also happens to be its last. Airing back in February, there are only five more episodes to go before the story of Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) comes to an end.
The long-awaited season premiere marked a stark change in the series' leads, showing Villanelle on a path to redemption and Eve on a mission for revenge. While the former eventually abandons these efforts and returns to killing once more, Eve wants nothing to do with Villanelle and is fully absorbed in her mission to bring down The Twelve. After being repeatedly rejected in her attempts to reconnect, Villanelle breaks into Eve's hotel room (and also her tablet) to arrange a meeting with Eve's psychiatrist friend, Martin. Holding him hostage and forcing him to provide therapy, this leads only to his death and in a shocking move by Eve, Villanelle's arrest.
