Beautiful written sounds like there are at least 2 traps set in this scenario! Hopefully Eve heeds Oxana’s advice and listens to her gut🫣

I'm not sure Bili is the enemy here, if by any chance she is, Eve is more than capable and will already have clocked all the red flags with the rat catcher. I'm hoping Bili is there at the call of Balice but has more self centred reason to be there - negotiating a better visa package than Balice can...but why the rat? Is the rat even real or controlled by a chip...why am I even thinking this LOL.

Been waiting to see how Balice’s call to the exterminator would play out…and have no idea what to expect is coming next! lol. Both Johnny’s and Balice’s accounts of Bili and her role in all of this seem suspect, and maybe convoluted…so it seems we’re just going to have to wait and see where/what/how her loyalties lie.. :O

In the meantime, the only thing I do have might just be this one hot take: I don’t think Balice has any idea how to estimate Eve. Balice has so far played her little important role of spy pretending to be with the Twelve, watched her partner get unalived, dabbled in some international intrigue with Villanelle, and possibly played honey pot trap with Bili…so she’s no stranger to the game. But she also can’t seem to handle much in the way of real combat. Couldn’t even save her own handbag on the garden tour, or take the shot herself at Eve on the bridge, or do any of the dirty work at the Poodlefucker (sorry, my previous slip-up now makes me laugh lol). She relies on cheap help, and her own wiles that only seem to appeal to those who need something from her in the moment. Which also clouds her judgment (e.g. she let Villanelle tear out her earrings and manipulate her, then had no idea where her pedo-lady asset was until Villanelle admitted to actually having her only bc she was trying for leverage).

But Eve? Man, Eve is badass. Eve faked her own death, stole into the night on the back of a Ducati driven by an international assassin whom she had only like seen twice, hooked up and paired up with her, only to find herself strung up and tortured by Dasha, and later shooting goons in the head in her home (RIP Kris), taking a shot and getting sewn up with a blanket stitch in a dark hallway, nailing her would-be competition for Villanelle square in the head with a can of beans when they pissed her off (RIP Charlie), taking out Anton with a pencil (a pencil!), going through sniper training and actually calling out the kill shot on an international assassination plot… Do we need more?

Balice has nothing on this gal!

She might be wise to settle for the fucked up nose lol. Villanelle the “psychopath” might make her decisions coldly on calculated cost-benefit analyses. But Eve is the one of sound mind who consciously made these choices because she felt like it. She’s the one I wouldn’t test. 😹

Yes, probably best not to underestimate Eve!

Ohhh am I nervous. I’ve been nervous all along with Billi and where her loyalty truly resides. I also am nervous whenever E & V are apart. I just always want those two ladies together forever! I do wonder if the wolves are actually not only the Russians but Balice and MI-6. Does Johnny know that Billi has betrayed them and needed Oxana to get Valentin out of the house to draw Billi in? Does Billi have any clue she’s dealing with the one and only EVE?!

Why does Billi want the rat alive? 😂

Nervous and trusting in Luke on the rollercoaster to take care of our Angels.

Oh my, I am nervous. 🫨 What is Bili doing there? Eve is in danger! Where is Oxana when Eve needs her? Balice, the bitch, is in hospital and is so deserving of her broken nose. What is Bili going to do to Eve? We cannot trust Balice and her girlfriend. Bili is the rat. I hope Oxana arrives soon to take care of the situation. Why is Oxana's phone turned off? So many questions. I can't wait for the next installment, Luke! Your excellent writing has me on the edge of my seat and I am anxiously waiting to find out what happens next. Thanks, Luke, for your masterful writing! Love, Diane ❤️

Bili IS the rat, a highly intelligent creature, eating her block of Emmental de Savoie on the stairs. But who is the declawed cat? My poor ugliness Balice with no nose to sense trouble? Or Villanelle? Or Johnny?

I hope the literal rat is not going to Balice as a wedding gift. Mr. Jennings, can you please specify what color was the tissue paper in Bili's pet carrier? Pink by any chance? :)
