I saw a lot of people here commenting on how tough they were acting around each other when they reunited. They were acting too normal, exactly how they were supposed to. But we know that there’s nothing normal about their relationship or their story, so we shouldn’t see things here just by how they look.



A lot of their interactions in this episode reflects not only on how they feel about each other, but it has a lot to do with how others perceive their relationship and their actions. Niko telling Eve: “Oh, Eve, you are. You are so kind, you’re the best person I know. Always have been… it’s why I love you. Come back.” and Konstantin telling Villanelle: “You’re a mess. She’s making you weak. You know that.”



Niko and Konstantin words have quite a weight on both Eve and Villanelle, because they know them better than anyone, so it’s easy for them to realize how much they’ve changed because of each other. But deep down Eve and Villanelle are willing to let what they feel for each other affect them, they like it. They won’t even bother to keep it hidden…









…except from each other. When they finally face each other again, they put their walls back up. Eve acts as the detective who wants to get her job done and Villanelle as the steady cold assassin she’s always been. These are the roles they’re supposed to play after all. But even though they try to keep that up, their feelings for each other manage to crack those walls a little bit when they’re together.

We can see their true soft selves here, when Eve says “I think about that all the time.”, it’s not only about the stab, it’s about their confessions, the vulnerable moments they shared, not only about what happened, but mostly about how much they think and care about each other.

(I think about you all the time…)





And for a moment there Villanelle questions Eve’s feelings towards her, she’s not so sure anymore, Eve didn’t show up in Amsterdam, she didn’t do anything about the postcard, was she really thinking about her at all? (Really?)

Eve doesn’t need words to confirm that she didn’t stop thinking about her, her touch says it all, and Villanelle accepts that, so she lets her touch linger for a bit. No, she didn’t stop thinking about her. (Not for a moment.)

And now Eve wants to hear it from her, if Villanelle feels the same… (Do you?)

She does. She thinks about her, in fact Eve’s the only thing she cares about now, she’s her home. (I think about you too.)

We all know damn well how much they care about each other and we know it’s not only about desire, it’s about who they are inherently. Essentially? That’s what we see as love, displayed in the more twisted way possible, but still, it’s love. We can’t view them as common people with normal feelings, but it’s all there and at the end of the day, what they crave for is each other, to be together. But they know that by doing this, when their walls come crumbling down, they’ll destroy everything and everyone else around them, everything they thought they knew about who they are, and everyone who cares about them…



Even though they’ll keep playing tough, it’s just a matter of time before they get what they really want from each other, before they give in to their true feelings…

“I’m expensive.” (Our feelings may cost us everything…)

“I know.”

“Will you give me everything I want?” (Will you be mine?)

“Yes.”



Well… there’s no coming back. You’re mine.
