“For what we are about to receive may the Lord make you truly thank me.” Villanelle’s version of grace just set the tone for the whole of that part of the episode for me and it was glorious.

I think whoever it killing The Twelve might wrap that storyline up off screen and I’m not sure if I like that or not. They were a driver for Konstantin, Villanelle and to a lesser extent Eve. But now Konstantin and Villanelle are out of that game, they’re less of an important player for those two. They’ve become more important for Carolyn and Eve but, while I love Carolyn, she’s not endgame. Eve and Villanelle are.

I can construct ways to get from Ep 1 to Eve and Villanelle together by the end of the season (ideally before that, so we have an episode or two of them happily together, even if they’re fighting off outside forces) but I’m content to wait and see what happens.

I’m in what I think is a small minority that looks at the changes we’ve had every season with a new show runner and welcomes them. Sometimes they’ve felt a bit rough at first but they’ve always come good. I’m going to relax and wait and see where this one goes too.
