'Killing Eve' season 2: Villanelle's injuries and lack of control could turn her into something far more dangerous

Villanelle just wants to do her job well, but how meticulously will she be able to execute her plans with her being injured? Does it snap something worse in her?

With the second season of BBC America's hit thriller 'Killing Eve' arriving in less than a month, the anticipation has peaked regarding what more we will get to see in the cat-and-mouse chase between the titular MI5 agent Eve, and her target - psychopath assassin, Villanelle. But while Eve (Sandra Oh) explicitly admits she's losing her mind in the last released trailer of the new season when it comes to Villanelle (Jodie Comer), things aren't all that sorted for the murderer either, and it's not just her physical ailments.

To say that these ailments do not have a part to play in Villanelle's current crisis would also be wrong because as fans will remember, the source of it was a violent stab with a kitchen knife that came from Eve. All of that happened in the finale episode of the debut season, after which, things ended on that very teasing cliffhanger, where Villanelle jumps from the building's balcony and Eve assumes she is dead.
