'Killing Eve' Season 4, Episode 2 Recap: "Don't Get Eaten"

Before I get into this week's Killing Eve, let us give all the credit to the camera shots of that opening scene. One of Killing Eve's greatest strengths is the female gaze of its cat-and-mouse show. Everything in the bar sequence, from that shot of Sandra Oh's back with the braid to the mirrored ceiling work in the lift of her slipping the tracking device into Hélène's purse, is memorably striking, on par with the show's best moments. For that matter, no matter what you think of the Villanelle-Gets-Saved storyline, Jodie Comer's Jesus-In-GoGo-Boots is a great visual gag. That this week's plot doesn't exactly go anywhere fast is at least made up for in styling.

Carolyn: Don't try and outsmart me; you haven't got the neurons.

Speaking of Jesus, because this show won't let him lie, Villanelle is off with her church to a camping retreat. The Vicar knows something happened last week with her and May because May won't go anywhere near her, forcing Villanelle to confess her sins to the girl in hopes of making up. One would think admitting one is a serial killer to someone whose life they just attempted to take would not go well? But Nelle manages to charm her way back into May's heart and even manages to get some dirt on the Vicar as a reward: He killed May's mother, Mary. No, he's not a serial killer or even a domestic abuser. She died in a car crash while he was drunk behind the wheel.
