+ Oh, man, poor Nico. I admit when the episode opened with him I was very 'seriously? why is he back, ugh' and was annoyed when Eve continued to flog their dead horse of a marriage. I just wanted her to let him go already. Let him find some peace/happiness, and maybe accept that she doesn't really want him for himself anyway considering how hard she imploded their marriage. And then he died. Which I probably should have seen coming considering I immediately thought there was no way those texts were from him, but didn't get until Dasha's section.
+ So Eve falling to her knees and watching Nico die instead of running to his side was an interesting directorial choice. It made it feel less about Nico as a person and her feelings for him and more about Eve grieving the loss of her old life and the possibility of returning to the safety of it. Or maybe I'm reading into it.
+ I love that Villanelle is so happy and gleeful post-Eve meeting that both Dasha and Konstantin notice how different she seems. I loved her sending Eve a cake to commemorate their first kiss and then her trying to make Eve a fancy birthday cake. I love that she obvious can't stop thinking about Eve.
+ Villanelle's murder of Mrs. Kruger was definitely one of the weirdest kills on this show but also really fun. I think it's clear that Villanelle was weirdly charmed by actually feeling startled, and the light-hearted chase through the flowers with the upbeat music was just so incongruous with what we know is going to happen that it worked well.
+ I wasn't sold at first but I ended up enjoying how this episode was structured and how it came together.
+ I enjoyed Eve bonding with Jamie about being a shitty person with a shitty life. It was sweet and I like him. But also I'm worried about him because getting close to Eve seems like a good way to die horribly.
+ "I stabbed someone" Uh, I think she's really underselling this point. She did a little more than 'stab'. What she should have said is that she hacked a man to death with an axe. ... oh, wait she's talking about Villanelle, isn't she. So yeah, she can definitely still one-up Jamie if she really wants to!
+ Villanelle and Konstantin are great as always.
+ Loved seeing Irina again. She is as delightful as ever.
