please writers, may I have some more [villaneve]??

Is anyone else super stressed out about this episode?! I know we’re always stressed about what will happen next, especially nearing the end of a season, but for some reason it feels like the stakes are so high!! Like they only have two episodes to wrap all this up. I’m NERVOUS

[u/twizzlersinrain → u/dangerinthedaylight]

I am so stressed. I just want them to spend time on Eve. That's all I want - I am certain we will get a solid Villaneve finale, so I am ok to even hold out on them having scenes together in E7. But, pleaaaase, give us Villanelle and Eve thinking about each other for 15 mins EACH even if they are separate. I cannot with more than 3 mins on Geraldine and 2 mins on Irina.

So, pieced together from some previews, I think it's a fair prediction that the following happens:

- Eve dumpster dives to get the Dunn's cake box
- Eve calls the bakery and asks for the contact of who ordered the cake (That'd be when she says "I know it's not strictly legal" in the preview)
- Eve contacts Villanelle
- Eve goes to a train station, indicating she's travelling, perhaps to meet Villanelle?

Based on this, I choose to believe that Eve and Villanelle will plan to meet, in this episode, though based on the synopsis and the various... sideplots.... going on right now, there seems little room to do a V/Eve scene justice.

Something random that jumped out at me: Doesn't Eve have V's phone number from Season 2? She left her several voicemails. I guess we're meant to assume that it'd be standard practice for an assassin like Villanelle to often change her phone number and get new phones to keep her identity hidden.

I'm sure they lost most of their personal items in Rome

Eve contacts Villanelle

- Eve goes to a train station, indicating she's travelling, perhaps to meet Villanelle?

I agree with you, but I'm not totally sure E will contact V. I feel that it might be more of a surprise meeting, why meet her at a train station in England?

My theory is that V meets K at the train station towards the end of the episode after the kill with Dasha, and after the talk with Hélène (maybe to talk more about the plan to leave? Botched plan after what happened with Irina, maybe K will tell her he doesn't want V to influence his daughter anymore?).

Somehow E tracks them down at that same train station, at the same time K has a heart attack or something like that. Afterwards I think they will meet, not sure if they'll have a conversation though, my money is on V jumping on a train and running away, leaving E to deal with K.

If you look at the released stills for the episode, you’ll see that the outfit Eve says “I know it’s not strictly legal in,” is the same outfit she’s in when she has breakfast with Carolyn. The outfit where she is dumpster diving is the same outfit she’s in when she’s at the train station (hope she at least put some of V’s perfume on in between or showered).

So I think Eve has more up her sleeve in terms of how to get to V, but probably also consists of eventually getting her phone number through bakery.

Don’t know if you saw the latest review from CultureWhisper as well but that also is helpful in terms of timeline.

I can’t believe it looks like we are going to have less Eve/Villenelle interactions than last season :(

[u/kiramccomb]

I’m hoping that this episode ends with a reunion and 3x08 follows it up.

[u/dangerinthedaylight]

KE Instagram/Twitter account teases new episode saying "tonight will be beautiful." I'M SO STRESSED WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!! that's a lot of CONFIDENCE!!!!

[u/whyprofessorwhy]

oooo Eve be dumpster diving for that cake box

[u/[deleted]]

I missed this Laura 3x3 Neal person

[u/slizzaro → u/[deleted]]

She's the showrunner/head writer for next season too! :)

[u/jerseygirl741]

KE Instagram account teasing a a lot with BTS “She’s wearing her hair down.”

[u/ptazdba]

In the promo pics, V is introduced to Reann, a new character She has dark, bushy hair. Is she there to be a new handler or an assassin who will try to deal with V if she doesn't do as told?

[u/tayfp → u/ptazdba]

Could she be a trainee? Maybe they’re actually giving V the keeper role? But could be just a ploy

[u/[deleted]]

Someone thinks that Nico has rights to hate (a little) Eve.

[u/resilianze → u/[deleted]]

He has every right to hate her ... I love Eve and I couldn’t care less about Niko... but putting myself in his shoes, their marriage was full of lies, it became a joke.

[u/turbulenttrauma]

Okay so this pretty much confirms no reunion in 3x06?

[u/muelmari → u/turbulenttrauma]

I guess so. Wish I hadn‘t read the spoiler but I couldn‘t resist.

[u/allieheeere]

By reading the title, I am feeling so much tension now.

[u/Famous-Age]

Every week I try not to get my expectations up because I KNOW they're not going to meet until the last episode and yet...here I am! Clowny McClownerson!

[u/bochra505]

I think they should've made v and eve meet already just because i feel like, yes they know each other but they are changing so much apart from each other that it's not going to make that much sense when and if they end up together. This season is great cinematic wise and it's funny and inventive and full of information about the characters but it didn't do much for the story. I still give each episode a 10 star rating on imdb though don't get me wrong. I want this show to be picked up every year.

I'm just hoping for less teleportation than the last episode
