'Killing Eve' is back on the screen to spell more madness and mayhem. In the first episode of Season 3 titled 'Slowly Slowly Catchy Monkey', it shows how Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) attempting to rebuild her life after being shot by Villanelle (Jodie Comer). 

Villanelle is also moving on. She also got married but it doesn't work for her. Meanwhile, Carolyn Martens (Fiona Shaw) is being undermined at work and Kenny Stowton (Sean Delaney) can't leave his investigation to The Twelve alone. 

Fans were taken aback to see how the characters' lives have changed. One posted, "Wow, things have seriously gone to shit for everyone since the end of S2 Eve's working a shit job in a restaurant, Villanelle tried to marry someone for her money — and failed spectacularly — Carolyn's demoted, & Konstantin has way too many phones." Another wrote, "Eve really yearns for villanelle She is also disappointed with what she did. Another one posted, "Eve is a mess without Villanelle."

It's clear that both, Eve and Villanelle, are not happy with how things are shaping up. Analyzing the entire scenario, a viewer wrote, "Okay so at first glance it seems like Eve really does realize the road she went down last season with Villanelle but I think she's going to also realize that she cannot live without the chase and the danger. We've seen this from Eve each season she can't stay away #KillingEve."

One fan wrote, "Eve and Villanelle don’t want to kill each other... those are just simply love bites that will never fade even in death," and another said, "Eve would know all abt that her infatuation never turned to love and vice versa for Villanelle #KillingEve." One tweet read, "SHE HAS THE GUNSHOT MARK! Villanelle lives on her body and in her soul!" and another posted, "Eve listening about love all the time. It reminds her of Villanelle."

What's more, the way Eve always thinks about Villanelle before her husband Niko Polastri (Owen McDonnell) freaks out fans. "Eve always thinking of Villanelle before her husband lmao," one wrote and another said, "Eve thinking of Villanelle instead of Niko, I screamed." Another fan posted, "The way even after everything Villanelle is a priority in Eve’s mind, she still thinks about her before thinking about Niko." One said she has got it bad. "The fact that Eve's first thought was Villanelle and not Niko.. She's got it bad," the tweet read. 

Several other fans are just waiting for the moment when Villanelle will realize that Eve is alive. "I'm just here waiting for the moment that Villanelle will realize Eve is alive." As the next episode airs on Sunday, April 19, 2020, we may find out what will Villanelle's reaction be when she finds out Eve is not dead.
