'Killing Eve' Season 4, Episode 5 Recap: "Don't Get Attached"
Killing Eve opens in black and white, with doc martens and leather jackets. It's Berlin 1979, and young rebels are struggling to name their group: "The Socialist Squad," "Anarchists With An Attitude," "Chaos Club." A young woman arrives, dramatically dismissing their ideas with her own better one, inspired by Beethoven: "The Twelve." It is Carolyn (Imogen Daines), working undercover as "Janice" and dating Johan (Siggi Ingvarsson), aka Lars Meier. She's cheating on him with Karolina (Teresa Klamert)'s boyfriend, Karl (Louis Bodina-Andersen), also a covert operative, but KGB. It's none other than Konstantin, and his seduction of Carolyn is to get evidence on her British Intelligence father Dickie's (Nigel Cooke) closeted affairs.
Villanelle: I tried to kill other people's assholes, but charity begins at home.
Villanelle is still in Cuba being fed breakfast by Benita, who she learns, stays in the safe house because it's better than going back to her abusive husband. Her story inspires Villanelle to use her talents for good, taking out Benita's firefighter husband with his own hose (God, I've missed her creative murders) and a laundry list of abusive spouses who need to be removed from this earth. Sadly, Pam is no Villanelle, as Konstantin is learning to his utter confusion. High-end fashion doesn't entice her; ridiculous outfits look, well, ridiculous, on her. However, her circus friend, Darren (Josh Zare), gets her some proper clothes, even if Konstantin and a newly-arrived-from-Cuba Villanelle aren't so impressed.
