Contains spoilers for 'Killing Eve' Season 4, Episode 6

As the show inches to a nail-biting finale, the three leading ladies of BBC's 'Killing Eve' are getting closer than ever to their goals. Carolyn, Eve, and Villanelle continue trudging their way through the grim thriller's intriguing plotline, leaving an inevitable trail of dead bodies in their wake. After Sunday's episode aired, Villanelle's fans were relieved to learn that the latest person killed wasn't her but a different major player of the season. 

'Killing Eve' Season 4 Episode 6, titled 'Oh Goodie, I'm the winner', was a dramatic and bloody affair as one of the show's most loved characters, Helene (Camille Cottin), got brutally killed. The previous episode ended on a cliffhanger that saw Villanelle (Jodie Comer) getting shot with an arrow right through her back, and she seemed to be losing her consciousness in Eve's (Sandra Oh) arms. However, Villanelle was lucky enough to be saved as Eve managed to get her into Konstantine and Pam's hotel room, where Pam took care of her wound and gave her medical treatment. The show took a dramatic turn when Villanelle slit Helene's throat, killing her instantly.

'Killing Eve' Season 4 Episode 1: Fans say it feels like a 'sequel they did not get right'

Villanelle hasn't liked Eve's company since getting arrested earlier in the season, and we can't really blame her. Unfortunately, her act of killing Helene leads straight to Eve killing someone else, much to the disappointment of Carolyn. 

The episode ended on a dramatic note, and fans were quick to share their thoughts online. A fan tweeted, "and they killed bill and carolyns dad and helene and paul and may. what do they all have in common? exactly. ke is homophobic = confirmed." Another fan said, "i think villanelle will watch eve kill gunn and will have the same reaction eve did when she killed hélène." Another fan tweeted, "Villanelle killed more out of jealousy than revenge. No one kisses her soulmate girlfriend and lives. BUT Eve, you “helped her” & feigned shock. Really girl?I didn’t want Helene to die. She’s a mother. Her poor daughter #KillingEve."

Another fan tweeted, "Won’t happen but what if villanelle saves eve from gettign killed by Gunn, and then Gunn talks about how they kissed like Helene did, leading to Eve killing Gunn, and linking the two scenes & their jealousy. That’d be so good. #killingeve." One fan theorized, "I'm leaning towards either Carolyn killing Pam or Carolyn grooming Pam. Pam is a killer with no direction now. She wouldn't have killed Konstantin had she known Helene was dead." Another said, "PAM HAVE NO IDEA HELENE IS DEAD SO SHE KILLED KONSTANIN, POOR DADDY K,FUCK IRINA."

'Killing Eve' airs every Sunday at 8 pm ET.
