KillingEve Season 4 head writer Laura Neal breaks down the series finale, from that road trip to how things finally played out between Eve and Villanelle.
BBC America original series Killing Eve has revolved around its central pair of two women who begin as foes but then evolve into something much more twisty and complex: MI5 analyst Eve Polastri and skilled but psychopathic assassin Villanelle .
One of the things that struck me specifically about these last couple of episodes is Eve and Villanelle are, for a large part, alone. There are other characters present, but these women have a lot of alone time together outside the supporting cast. What fueled the decision to bring them together and give them this little intimate road trip sequence?
NEAL: I think there's a now or never aspect to that moment. The intimacy that they've shared in the bothy opens up that moment for them as well. They've had this sharing of the sleeping bag together. They've had the scar moment, touching each other's scars. They've recognized their shared history and what the other has done to the other and also what they've given each other. There's a kind of bubbling over of that after they piss on the side of the road.
Another big moment is Konstantin, and what happens with his character, and it's surprising in a way, but also not. These are characters that are involved in this spy-game world, [and] there's a danger to that, but one of the things that feels a little more tragic for him is that it happens almost as a result of miscommunication, or one character not having all the information that someone else does.
NEAL: The decision to have the endgame at a wedding was in part a cheeky nod to the Eve and Villanelle relationship and where it would end up in the kind of Disney version of the story. I also just love the contrast. I love the bloody violent act that's going on below deck contrasted with this life-affirming, joyous, happy, universal moment that's happening on the top. It also really spoke to me about the difference between Eve and Villanelle.
