'Killing Eve' Season 3, Episode 5 Recap: "Are You From Pinner?"
This week's Killing Eve takes a complete break from the action to send Villanelle home to Mother Russia. It is not a glamorous place. When Villanelle reaches the house, a little boy, Bor'ka (Temi Blaev), curiously ventures into the kitchen to greet this tall blonde stranger. But he seems to care, as another woman walks in and out, paying her no mind. That's Bor'ka's brother's girlfriend, Yula (Natallia Bulynia), he explains. Upon seeing Villanelle, the brother, Fyodor (Dimitrij Schaad), asks if Dad AirBnB'd his room again. But Dad, Grigoriy (Pedja Bjelac), says no and tells Villanelle she must have the wrong house.
Villanelle: "I think I need to kill you."
Then Pytor (Rob Feldman) walks in. He recognizes Villanelle, er, excuse me, Oksana, his sister from their mother's first marriage. Villanelle responds he looks just like Grandma. Now an accepted presence, Villanelle heads to Bor'ka's room, which is a shrine to Elton John. But when mom, Tatiana (Evgenia Dodina) pulls up, Villanelle openly panics, like a bird in a cage that can't get out in time. But despite her terror, the woman who walks in sobs, and wraps "her baby" in her arms.
