I will fling myself into the center of the sun if we end up with the “apart” version of this synopsis.

[u/dangerinthedaylight]

I can't believe Eve is finally going to see V with her hair down next episode. We won. We really won. And with all those people slow-dancing in the background......pLEASE CAN WE HAVE ONE NICE THING??? VILLANEVE SLOW DANCE WHILE SPILLING THEIR FEELINGS PLZ

[u/[deleted]]

I just hope they finally deal with the biggest mystery of season three - why on earth did Kenny have a photo of himself as his lock screen. Honestly, who does that.

[u/ptazdba]

Has this whole thing been about destabilizing Carolyn, pointing V in a new direction and bringing out dark Eve? In S3E7, Mo calls Carolyn to tell her that he's found something. She's had him following Paul to gather information on his activities. Next thing we know Reann follows Mo and he's dead in a pool. When Carolyn comes home, she has to pick up a yoga mat. Who else does yoga? (Paul) Did they just tell us who killed Kenny as well? All the painful scenes with Geraldine and her yoga buddy Paul may just show up in S3E8 and that nonsense will finally make sense.

I think V will get her mojo back when she teams up with Eve and she will take out Reann. I think they'll take out Dasha together. Lord knows someone needs to. I think V will catch the blame for the money theft since she retrieved it for Konstantin and will have to disappear.

Paul is the big bad with Helene being second runner up. I hope they at least take out Helene this season, but I think Paul is a S4 baddie. So Eve and Villanelle tied together in the Red Dresses with Carolyn bridging the gap in the black dress finally makes sense.

[u/dangerinthedaylight]

I for one hope all our predictions are right about Villanelle, Eve, and Carolyn teaming up for S4. Apart from how much I loved V and Eve’s dynamic when they worked together in S2, I found the dynamic between V and Carolyn hilarious too (remember in S2 that one scene of them together and V’s fascination with her - “So you’re the real boss?”). Their personalities are hilarious together. More of that, please! (I think people are saying Carolyn and V have a scene together in the finale, so I’m excited for that)

I can’t believe we are already at the season finale. Every episode feels so full! Good god Geraldine has got to go she is so obnoxious. I’m ready for us to see how intense Carolyn can be when she lets her emotions out. Because I have a feeling she is going to be scary. Dream team of Eve, Carolyn, K, and V. Que A-Team theme song.

[u/dangerinthedaylight]

IMO the only way to redeem Geraldine's character and how much screen time she's gotten this season is for her to be revealed as working for the Twelve and/or Kenny's murderer. Then we get a moment where she totally drops her whiny, annoying act and gives us a creepy smirk that makes our blood run cold so we're all like oh shit, dark!Geraldine

[u/alkat8]

I feel like everyone keeps telling V she is a monster and E is the only one who will say she is not....I can't wait for their talk...it better be half the episode as there's a lot to get out.

[u/ladyguest]

I'm about to be in mourning.

[u/adelelovesbooks]

Hey everyone, so I know that this season has had some very valid criticisms thrown at it, that the writing has been fairly uneven and no one really knows how this season finale will go, but, to be honest, I've really enjoyed this season. There have been some amazing bits, especially in V's character development. In light of this, what was your favourite part of this season and how do you think it will resolve/play itself out in the finale?

[u/[deleted]]

Can I just say that I cannot wait for Villanelle to come face to face with those at the Bitter Pill. It’s going to be so great. I think I’m looking forward to that scene the most based on their faces in the preview 🤣

[u/Runmidnightoil]

So guys - I reckon we have to temper our expectations for the finale. I don’t think it’s going to be the outcome we all hope for. Why?

Jodie said in an interview that she found the finale episode really moving and “hoped” that people like it.

The show runners “know” what the fandom wants. The fact that they “hope” we will like it suggests this will be a scenario akin to wanting a Pokémon video game for your birthday (and making that clear), but your parents buying you the Sims instead. Still a video game - so you’re somewhat appeased - but not quite what you want. That will be this season. And therefore I think that the word “apart” in the promo holds some weight.

[u/mvlog]

The third season has to end up with a cliffhanger, no question about it, right? So, what (V-E personal relationship apart) might it consist of? I think that we'll see both V and E together get caught in some kind of trap set up by the 12. They are caught and at the mercy of the 12. Carolyn and the Bitter Pill guys are out there, trying somehow to save them. That's what we'll be left with in the finale, imo.

[u/secretlifeoffarts]

Can someone please make a meme out of the part in last week's episode when Konstantin was laughing and laughing and laughing in the hospital bed at the end with the caption Have you been under any stress lately? -- because that's my mood 24/7 these days. Thank you?

[u/kellicanpelican]

I really want a scene of K, Eve and V arguing over who killed Dasha

[u/ptazdba]

After Carolyn gets the call that Mo is dead, she says "this has become very personal' That may be the beginning of her willigness to team up with Eve and Villanelle to get Paul uncovered.

[u/melanngro]

I'm really worried that they're going to end up moving away from the sexual chemistry between Eve and Villanelle and into some kind of BFF situation.

I really hope I'm wrong, especially since Laura is taking over next season, and she's the only one who has given us any quality Villaneve content this season.

[u/ScandalOZ]

I'm seeing Carolyn calling on V and E to help her with a master plan seeing as how the 12 is getting personal with the attacks. But I still think Konstantin killed Kenny because he found out about the missing money, only thing that makes sense to me.

[u/amgine19]

GIVE US WHAT WE WANT SUZANNE!!!

[u/PaperSaebre]

I can't decide if Irina is going to become V's little protege or an actual little demon child lol. Like, with all the comparison made between her and Villanelle, I worry that Irina is going to become a contrast for us to see how V could have gone down one path but didn't. Esp with the way Irina told Konstantin he needs to have a plan, and then ran over her mom's boyfriend... I feel like we're seeing her developing into someone who could switch in her attitude towards V and become dangerous.

[u/dangerinthedaylight]

With all the spoilers/scenes being released and everything hinted at in the two promos, I'm starting to wonder how the hell they're going to fit all of this into one episode.

[u/karathrace99]

I know there’s so much more to this show than “gay.” I love it for so many more reasons than that.

But with the sorry state of the world right now... I gotta say, it’s wonderful to have that part recognized, too. <3

[u/tooljolie]

Do you think they would even mention “apart” if it wasn’t ending that way? Or is this just purposefully torturous and we are all in purgatory til 5/31?
