'Killing Eve' Season 2, Episode 5 Recap: "Smell Ya Later"
After four episodes being kept apart, this week's Killing Eve puts Villanelle and Eve on a crash course to meet again.
Eve: I wish she were a bit more fun... She kills people for a living, you'd think she works in accounts.
This week's episode starts with another of Villanelle's kills, this time in a car wash. The outside of the car is clean, but the inside could definitely use some detailing. While Villanelle is hard at her job, Eve is grumping over her own, where the Ghost, arrested at the end of last week's episode and whose real name is revealed to be Jin, is not being forthcoming on any particular subject... except Villanelle, when Eve brings her up. The Ghost calls her "the demon with no face." That gives Eve an idea: Crack one by using the other. Jess spills the beans about the Amsterdam job and reveals Eve's favorite girl has gone freelance. As far as Eve is concerned if Villanelle is for hire, then MI-6 should pony up with a contract and put the woman on retainer. Barring that, they should simply put a hit out on Eve and hope Villanelle is the one to take the job.
