Last week, Konstantin told Villanelle that the safeword for her Aaron Peele operation in Italy was gentleman.
You said you were in trouble, shouts Eve, and Villanelle shrugs.
Youll get bored with her, says Peele.
Youll never get bored here.
Ill check that of it.
Neither of us will ever be bored again.
He always did like to watch.
Carolyn shrugs; this is what she wanted and now she has it.
For the second time, Villanelle refuses to abandon her, insisting that we are the same.
Do it, whispers Villanelle.
She doesnt have it in her, laughs Raymond.
The wound slows him down but doesnt kill him, and Villanelle whispers again: Dont think, Eve.
He will come after us.
Eve pulls out the axe and strikes him in the head, until whatever he was is gone.
Its okay if you feel weird, she comforts.
You just killed someone for the first time.
What do you want for dinner?
Its going to be amazing, she promises.
You wanted me to do it, says Eve accusingly.
What did Villanelle say at that AA meeting?
I get what I want; I dont want it.
Maybe Villanelle was right after all, and Eve is more like her than she thought.
Whether a feeling was real, or where it came from, or what it tells us about ourselves?
This is what you wanted, insists Villanelle, who is both right and wrong.
But Im like you now.
Im not afraid of anything.
