When we last left 'Killing Eve', the series' leading pair, Villanelle and Eve, agreed about how toxic they both were for each other and planned on parting ways. However, after a few steps, both could not help but turn around, leaving their relationship status up in the air.

'Killing Eve' Season 4 is back on the screens giving the audience a view of the two lead characters, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh), stepping back into the spy game. Episode 1, titled 'Just Dunk Me', begins with a mysterious motorcyclist on the warpath in Russia. Villanelle's story creates much of the dark humor of the episode, especially when it's clear her faith is merely a ruse to show Eve she's changed. Additionally, bad things always seem to follow her as she prepares for baptism and rebirth, such as accidentally killing her host's cat. Finally, after getting rebuffed by Eve, Villanelle has a more sincere crisis of faith and implores God to show her that he is honest.

Another tweet reads, "Honestly V gave Eve the choice on the bridge so why is Eve so frustrated? I’d like to see that explored more…" Another tweeted,"Loved the first two eps. 👏 Things got weird but that's what I want and appreciate about Killing Eve. Sandra, Jodie, and Fiona are phenomenal as ever. I don't think anyone had Villanelle Jesus in drag on their bingo card!" Another said," This first episode gave me the feeling of a sequel they did not get right. Disappointing. Plus they went way too far messing with Jesus. Can’t expect brilliance to last forever. Sadly I must say I’m glad this is the final season. #KillingEve #BBC #JodieComer #SandraOh."
