'Killing Eve' Season 2, Episode 3 Recap: "The Hungry Caterpillar"
Though the season's first two episodes re-ignited the cat and mouse chase at the heart of Killing Eve, the new hunt begins in earnest with Konstantin's return.
Konstantin: She's a parasite, Eve. She gets into your brain, she eats you up to make space for herself. Like the book with the hungry worm and all that food, pickles, tomatoes...
Villanelle is back on the job. The episode opens, after explaining away the timely return of Konstantin, with her murdering some poor high-ranking hedge funder man before being sent to her room. Her killing (a tie through the elevator door) was neither boring nor discreet, which were her orders. Her new handler, Raymond, lets her know that her employers are displeased, and she's no longer Queen on Murder Hill in the company. As Eve discovered last week, there's a new girl in town, and that makes Villanelle "sloppy seconds" at best. But it turns out she doesn't work for the organization Villanelle is repping, yet. (One would assume this is the only reason Villanelle is still employed by them.) The Twelve are working on tracking her down though, in hopes of beating MI-6 to the punch.
