'Killing Eve' Season 3 Finale Preview: Will Eve and Villanelle join forces with Carolyn to take down The 12?

We know both Eve and Villanelle are on the mission to take down The 12 and Carolyn just has the right kind of motive to participate

What's better than Eve Polastri and Villanelle teaming up to ruin The 12? Eve and Villanelle teaming up with Carolyn Martens — the "emotional iceberg" who really has a shot at sinking the enormous murderous organization's titanic venture. 

With just one episode to go for the ongoing third season, anticipation builds up as VillaEve moments seem sparse and barely there. In trying times like these, with Carolyn getting more and more impatient about getting answers for her son's murder and Konstantin suffering the massive heart attack which was a long time coming, the only respite comes in the form of the upcoming episode's trailer where Eve is finally able to hunt down Villanelle and meet her properly. 

We know both Eve and Villanelle are on the mission to take down The 12, with Eve's personal vendetta against the people hunting down her loved ones and Villanelle pretty much being done with their way of life. As Villanelle grew soft and incapable of murdering people in cold blood, we saw Eve embrace her darkness within as she stood inches away from actually killing Dasha.

Where one killer falls, another rises, and by the looks of it, that's not the new recruit by The 12 who killed Mo. Eve will be a nice supplement for Villanelle's murderous instincts or the lack of it thereof, and that could make them the most potentially disruptive challenge for The 12 to overcome.



 

Let's add to that the frustrated agony of a grieving mother and that's our unholy trinity right there. Villanelle, even though knows Carolyn through Konstantin, still keeps propping up in the MI5 agent's life through Eve's penchant for her. Given how she's been boiling with rage all this while, and pretty much unable to do something constructive about it, Eve and Villanelle's alliance might just give her the push needed to take down the people who took her Kenny away from her.

With Konstantin and Dasha both out of the way, and out of Villanelle's list of allies to turn to for good, the Russian assassin might also see sense in teaming up with the older detective who's got some really commendable trick or two up her sleeve. Carolyn is their best bet at the moment, no doubt. It only remains to see how they utilize each other to bring that secret organization down.

'Killing Eve' Season 3 finale will air on Sunday, May 31, at 9 pm on BBC America.
