Grief is a strange bedfellow.
It mutates, shapeshifts, surprises.
It enters our lives and creates patterns that rearrange our understanding of ourselves.
It was as if grief burned everything away until it was all I could focus on.
After she accidentally drops her cigarette into a puddle, shes blasted by the smoke from a mans vape.
you’re gonna wanna go electric, he says.
He trails after her until she gruffly calls him a dick.
If anything she remains wary of him and confused by her grief.
He gets her a gin, himself vodka, of course.
What has the bullet Villanelle shot into Eve left behind?
Eve makes an ungraceful exit from the funeral.
She knows he was murdered.
Carolyn of course doesnt wear grief as readily.
She shows up to work as if nothing happened.
She buttons her blouse improperly.
At one point she says to Mo, I cant solve it.
I cant investigate it.
My hands are tied.
Shes back, Eve.
I dont work for you anymore.
Not after what you did in Rome.
I cant help you, Eve firmly responds to Carolyns efforts.
So Jamie blows up Kennys phone, first demanding then pleading with Eve to turn it over.
When Eve visits Carolyn she gets to the point I need to know what happened, who killed him.
Shes getting used to her beautiful new pad in Barcelona.
Shes exchanging quips with Dasha over drinks.
Hes excited about the prospect of travel; Villanelle hilariously tells him to get everything paid up front.
If you make me look bad, Ill kill you, she also notes.
Shit, Villanelle says, finishing his sentence.
The kill itself is meant to be clean and clinical, but Felixs approach is anything but.
She finds him on top of the target, beating him bloody in a fight.
Not according to plan at all.
Villanelle gets the job done herself with a bullet to the head of the targetandFelix.
Oh, management sucks.
Yes, indeed, Villanelle.
The most intriguing part of Villanelles storyline this week is her brief interaction with Konstantin.
When she comes home to her palatial new Barcelona home, she finds him on her bed.
Hes his usual charming self, which Villanelle responds to by kneeing him in the balls.
You do not get to come without an invitation anymore, she viciously advises.
If I killed everybody who betrayed me there would be nothing left, Villanelle says.
Jodie Comer says this almost casually, but there is a weight and truth to this statement.
It takes Konstantin telling her Eve is alive and well to throw Villanelle off her game.
Konstantins voice fades away.
Management Sucks feels more like place-setting for more intriguing developments to come than a strong standalone story.
On the Dressing Room Floor:
I cackled when Konstantin said, Vodka straight.
Not because Im Russian, because it works, at Kennys funeral service.
Konstantin is a tricksy fellow.
That double decker bus magnet proved to be more consequential than it originally seemed.
What exactly is Konstantin up to?
Coupled with Comers vivacious, commanding strut, its a sight to behold.
