We knew someone was going to die at the end of Killing Eve. And not just because the show is called Killing Eve. The signs were there. The ‚Til Death Do Us Part talk, the Death tarot card, the psychiatrist advising Eve to enjoy the little things in life. Because those little things are about to be cut short. The season 4 finale of Killing Eve — also the finale of the entire show — resulted in one of the most painful rug pulls imaginable. The show seemed to be set up for Eve to meet her fateful end. But no. Killing Eve had to do a Game of Thrones. It had to second guess Reddit theories or plain old under-appreciated happy endings and surprise us with an unbelievably cruel ending for Eve and Villanelle. Let’s keep this short. Just after Villanelle murders the entirety of The Twelve, standing in the glow of her accomplishment and embracing Eve as a happily committed couple, she’s shot dead by Carolyn Martens‘ sniper. Did playing air guitar mean nothing to Carolyn? Did she have to pretend to want another round of Truth or Dare with Villanelle before making it impossible to play ever again? It’s just another odd, out-of-character moment that has marred the final season of Killing Eve. If you watched the very first episode and then this finale, you’d think they were two different shows. The writers played with our expectations from the outset. We all thought Villanelle was going to save Eve after that episode 7 cliffhanger, but no.
