By (*5*)Mar. 27 2022, Published 12:59 p.m. ET
Should Killing Eve be referred to as Killing Villanelle? Or to position it extra bluntly, does Villanelle die in Killing Eve? As the fourth and ultimate season of the BBC America hit continues, we’ve got spoilers about the upcoming episodes.
Last warning: Spoilers for Killing Eve and the Luke Jennings e-book sequence forward!
It turns out like Season 4, Episode 5 — titled “Don’t Get Attached” — places the Jodie Comer persona in mortal peril. The episode doesn’t air on TV until tonight, Sunday, March 27, debuting on BBC America at Eight p.m. ET. But episodes had been streaming online a week early this season, and fanatics have already observed Episode 5’s bloody twist…
Does Villanelle die in Episode 5?
According to a Digital Spy recap of “Don’t Get Attached,” Villanelle is felled by means of the arrow at the end of the episode — with an murderer employed through Hélène (Camille Cottin) on the other end of the crossbow — and he or she seemingly dies within the palms of a panicking Eve (Sandra Oh).
But lovers aren’t buying that Villanelle is in truth lifeless. On Reddit, one particular person ridiculed “the truth that they didn’t put Villanelle within the sneak peek for next week’s episode, as if we all don’t know she’s nonetheless alive at this level.”
Another fan wrote, “I’ve rewatched that scene. I’m starting to assume it’s some ridiculous arrow laced with some agent that renders you unconscious.”
And a 3rd fan agreed, writing, “I do additionally consider that there was once something at the arrow. We’ve noticed from the Season 4 teaser that her arm seems partly paralyzed, and he or she and Eve are still wearing the similar clothes from this episode.”
Will Villanelle die at the end of the sequence?
The show would possibly follow the ending of its source subject material, Luke Jennings’ Villanelle sequence. Luke released four guide novellas between 2014 and 2016, and those four tales were then compiled as a 2017 novel titled Codename Villanelle. With the success of those tales and Killing Eve, Luke then launched two sequel novels, 2018’s Killing Eve: No Tomorrow and 2020’s Killing Eve: Die for Me.
And the books finish with Eve and Villanelle alive and in a relationship, consistent with TV Insider. (A Reddit user summed up the end of Die for Me, writing, “Villanelle’s demise is faked after assassinating the Russian president. Fast forward to them living a quiet existence in a Moscow suburb, Villanelle going to school for languages, and Eve teaching part-time on-line. Ends with them walking arm and arm previous an attractive river.”)
But the show has already deviated far from the e book collection, so don’t assume Luke’s plot is gospel for Killing Eve. In fact, the display may have already telegraphed that each Eve and Villanelle will die. In Season 4, the 2 characters speak about the fantasy of The Scorpion and the Frog, through which a frog ferries a scorpion throughout a river, however the scorpion stings the frog midway throughout, dooming them both, all since the scorpion “can’t alternate its nature.”
Following that analogy, in all probability Eve and Villanelle’s pursuit of one another will result in their mutual destruction? We’ll find out as Season 4 continues! Catch new episodes of Killing Eve Sunday nights on BBC America, Monday nights on AMC, and streaming on AMC+.
