The final season of Killing Eve is speeding towards its end, and episode six was a doozy – in the best way. Yes, this one is my new favorite of the season. The Eve / Villanelle dynamic here is *chef’s kiss*.
You can check out my spoiler-free review of “Oh Goodie, I’m the Winner” here before you dive into my live reactions below.
**Note: The Killing Eve airing schedule can be a little confusing, as AMC+ subscribers are a week ahead of cable viewers. To share content for everyone and to prevent the biggest spoilers, I’m dropping spoiler-free reviews when episodes air on AMC+, and spoilery live blogs the following week when the episode airs on cable. So, this week’s content will include a live blog for KE 406, and a review for KE 407.
Killing Eve 406 “Oh Goodie, I’m the Winner” Thoughts
1. After last episode’s finale, this opening BETTER deliver that good good Villaneve content!!
2. Wait, who is that cutting off Villanelle’s clothes, that’s not Eve?
3. Is that Pam??? What’s she doing here??
4. Oh we’re back inside with Konstantin. I guess that does make more sense than Eve figuring out how to get Villanelle back to her hotel room.
5. (Remember when I said last week “oh this definitely feels like the last time Konstantin and Villanelle share screen time together on the show? Oops.)
6. “She’s good with anatomy.” “OF CORPSES!” I n c r e d i b l e
7. Okay obviously I wanted Eve and Villanelle to be alone (finally), but Eve and Konstantin fighting over what to do about this is funny. Eve is losing her mind at Villanelle being hurt and Konstantin is like, “same shit, different day.”
8. “Why is she here? Get rid of her.” Honestly that’s very fair all things considered, Villanelle. I’m hurt but also cracking up at how insulted Eve looked when she said that.
9. Villanelle’s slow realization that Eve is being nice to her… I Am Having An Emotion
10. Also shoutout to Pam for being the only useful one in the room.
11. Here comes Lars with the Carolyn life story recap. Which would probably feel a bit redundant at the best of times, but now? When Villanelle is injured and Eve’s finally demonstrating Real Emotions? I truly could not care less. Cut back to the good stuff!!
12. Okay, here we go again.
13. “It’s because of Helene punishing me” “Get over yourself” SCREAM
14. So we’re gonna get a Helene / Carolyn showdown. I’ll admit I care a lot more about this than Lars, but still. Focus please!
15. We’re back to Villanelle and it BETTER be just her and Eve this time. Konstantin and Pam were cute but I know you know what we want from this, Ms. Neal.
16. HELLO WATCHING OVER MY INJURED LOVE’S BEDSIDE TROPE!!! #blessed
17. “Go away” VILLANELLE PLEASE
18. WE HAVE TENDER GENTLE (SHIRTLESS) TOUCHING!
19. The music…please. This is on par with the bridge scene honestly
20. SOS WE HAVE EVEN MORE TENDER HAIR TOUCHING!!!
21. AND CAREFUL SHIRT BUTTONING
22. “You had me arrested” YEAH, CARE TO EXPLAIN EVE?
23. “I THOUGHT LOCKING YOU AWAY MIGHT BE GOOD FOR ME” AHHHHHHHH
24. Truly this is the most honest Eve has been with Villanelle since the S3 finale.
25. But Villanelle is so hurt!! (Emotionally, I mean. Not talking about the arrow wound at the moment.)
26. Is Konstantin trying to talk Pam out of working for The Twelve?
27. THE SCOOTER
28. Eve said “I am going to find the most obnoxious yet weirdly caring way to approach this woman” and that’s both very valid and the exact reason these two are meant to be together.
29. “I thought I lost you there for a minute. And I didn’t like it.” HHHHHHH
30. EVE I AM GOING TO SHOOT YOU NEXT, STOP TALKING ABOUT LARS INSTEAD OF YOUR FEELINGS OH MY GOD
31. Villanelle telling Eve to go HURTS. But again, very understandable considering the circumstances.
32. (Also, and I fully may be reading into this too much – does anyone else think it’s a good sign that Eve does go when Villanelle tells her to? Despite how much she clearly doesn’t want to? Like, these two for sure have boundary problems, but Eve walking away is actually demonstrating she’s at least somewhat learned to respect Villanelle’s boundaries?)
33. “Remind me why I’m doing this again” Literally all of us watching the show girl. Why ARE you doing this? Why have you decided to care so much about The Twelve, and what do you really think you can accomplish trying to track them down?
34. There’s been so much speculation that Yusef is some secret double agent who’s going to betray Eve, because we hardly know anything about him. But honestly I’m pretty sure Yusuf is just a plot device to do the actual boring part of spy work so Eve can do whatever the hell she wants lol.
35. Okay I love Villanelle up to some of her old tricks, giving Eve details about Berlin because she’s going to be there.
36. Oh so Fernanda’s a thing again.
37. Aw Pam’s like “I don’t want to kill this poor woman.”
38. CAROLYN AND HELENE’S FATHERS WERE LOVERS???
39. “We’re quite similar, you and I” I mean true.
40. Poor Fernanda 🙁
41. Carolyn watching Lars throw a tantrum like “this is embarrassing.”
42. KONSTANTIN AND PAM AT A ROLLER DISCO
43. Konstantin telling Pam he thinks she can be more than this and encouraging her to meet up with her carnival guy…
44. GET IT PAM!
45. Helene’s jumpsuit is a LOOK.
46. Oh yikes this setup is not looking good for Helene’s ankles…
47. Is it going to be Eve at the door?
48. IS VILLANELLE GOING TO HEAR HELENE AND EVE FLIRTING!!!
49. The LOOK Villanelle just gave Eve…
50. OMG OMG OMG PLEASE LET THEM TAG TEAM KILL HELENE
51. EVE YEETING THE KNIFE BACK AT VILLANELLE AND CUTTING HER I AM CRYING FROM LAUGHING. THEY ARE SO DUMB I LOVE THEM
52. This scene has big S1 humor energy and I love it. Eve searching for a weapon to fight Villanelle and grabbing a toilet brush 🤝 Eve trying to arm Villanelle by throwing a knife at her. Also, Eve making this face:
53. UM Eve thought Villanelle killing Helene was so hot.
54. “I’M DONE WITH YOU”
55. HELP!!!!!!
56. I was not prepared for this level of angst!!!
57. Eve on the phone with Yusef so relieved to have anything Twelve related to throw herself into because she’s so afraid she’s lost Villanelle for good
58. THE NUNCHUCKS
59. Another big win for Sandra Oh’s facial journeys.
60. Obsessed with these bizarre but respectful German taxi drivers negotiating down their own bribe.
61. “Who says Lars is the one I want to kill?” GET HER EVE
62. (I don’t actually want Eve to kill Carolyn but it might be justified tbh.)
63. Seriously, is Eve gonna rage kill Carolyn because she’s so unstable after Villanelle dismissed her? Her hands are suspiciously in her pockets…
64. “This isn’t about Kenny” Well maybe not for YOU Eve but that was her son so???
65. (Also if it’s not at least kind of about Kenny WHY are you doing this again? I still don’t understand why Eve cares so much about The Twelve!)
66. I feel like Eve gave up too easily? Like we know she’s not thinking clearly at the moment. She’s grown a lot lately, but there’s still no way she’s not about to make a bad life decision right now.
67. Carolyn literally hugging a tree as “cover” while just repeating “tree tree tree”… amazing. (And I thought Eve was bad at this.)
68. “You’re not like the other women. You can keep up with me.” Ew. Carolyn, are you sure you can’t murder him right now? It seems like you should murder him.
69. I KNEW EVE WOULDN’T WALK AWAY
70. Bye bye Lars!
71. Carolyn saying yeah they’ll just replace him like…this is why I don’t understand Eve’s attempt to “go after” The Twelve. What are we even trying to accomplish here?
72. Wait, Villanelle is in the boat this episode? RIP the fan theory that Eve was in the boat with her…
73. Why does The Twelve have so many assassins that are unreasonably attractive?
74. Villanelle and Gunn be like “we have to beat the shit out of each other or else.”
75. I feel like this means episode 7 is going to have a lot of Gunn content and I’m not feeling it. It just seems too late to introduce a new character. There’s only two episodes left, we want to see Villanelle and Eve!
Final Thoughts on “Oh Goodie, I’m the Winner”
Ding ding ding, new favorite episode alert! “Oh Goodie, I’m the Winner” is the best of season 4 yet. Progress in both Eve and Villanelle’s emotional arcs? Check! More shared screen time between our leads? Check! Unbearably soft, tender, caring touches AND a wildly sexually charged chaotic stupid murder scene? Check, check, check!!
I love that after three and half seasons of Villanelle being the one to lead the pair’s romantic pursuits, Eve finally has to step up and pursue Villanelle. Eve might not quite be able to lay it all out on the table yet, but she is SO close. The romantic tension and angst in this episode was simply off the charts. And again, the humor was spot-on. From Eve arguing with Konstantin, to the nunchuck-wielding taxi driver with Jack Black energy, to Eve accidentally knifing Villanelle, this one had plenty of iconic scenes.
However… as much as the angst hurts so good, it does leave me a bit concerned. It just feels a bit late in the season to have this big split happen now. With only two episodes ever left in Killing Eve, will Eve and Villanelle turn things around in their personal relationship in time? I mean, with where we stand now, it seems pretty unlikely episode 7 will have many scenes with both Eve and Villanelle…
But I can’t worry about that right now. Instead, I’m off to go watch Eve gently touch Villanelle’s hair on repeat. (Hey, remember how the show has shown us multiple times someone stroking Villanelle’s hair is a very specific form of comfort she craves? Doesn’t it make you lose your mind a little bit to see that coming from Eve? Just me? Okay. I’ll see myself out.)
