Eve makes strides in her pursuit of Helene, while Villanelle murders her own personal Jesus.
So, you will all understand what I mean when I say that this episode doesn’t have that.
An actor in an arming cap is being tortured for information.

Helene’s daughter asks if being tortured hurts.
“Only if you let it,” Helene says.
(Which is a weird thing to say to a kid!

After all this time, is there anythingleftto say about that?
Well, anyway: While Eve is busy plotting, Villanelle is still trying to be good.
“you’ve got the option to’t tell anyone,” she says.

Needless to say, this confrontation does not go as she hoped.
The group shuns her.
This isnotthe love and acceptance that Veezus promised her she deserved!

Meanwhile, Carolyn’s (Fiona Shaw) own pursuit of The Twelve brings her to increasingly dark places.
Is this too much, even for her?
Has she lost her stomach for the business of betrayal?
Finally, in Paris, Eve prepares to confront Helene.
Literally: Helene holds her hand to the stovetop, and asks Eve if it hurts.
“Only if I let it,” Eve says.
That weird moment from the start of the show was totally worth the payoff.)
Listening outside the vicar’s tent, she hears May say that she believes Villanelle isliterallythe devil.
For Villanelle, it’s the last straw; for May, her last words.
Villanelle murders them both and then turns on the lying false prophet who led her astray.
Wherever she goes, there she is.
The only question, as the credits roll, is where she’ll end up next.
