Wonderful! I laughed so hard at their joke with Eve's plaid outfit. And I believe that when they asked for a photo of her, Eve made a point of sending exactly that one so that V. could see herself. Another thing, Villanelle told Balice that Eve didn't kiss and shouldn't even be talking to Niko, and Balice stayed quiet. This is certainly true. I wonder how my Eve must be, I miss her! Whenever something hurts me and I feel a little lost, I remember a phrase from her book Die for Me - "Fuck you all! I will not succumb!" I love her so much.
Balice has to live and see that he can't mess with both of them. She set everything up, separated the two, slept with V and thinks she's winning, but it's not like that... although I think she's still going to get into trouble with the villain in the murder of Tibério.
I loved the Princess of Wales part! you are fantastic!
Another superb chapter! Thank you Luke. I really relish the anticipation of each episode. Such a novel experience in the era of bingeing and torrents of content.
I love the complexity in the relationships in all of the books and these episodes. They're haunting, beautiful and captivating. Aside from a little disturbing. Masterpieces. I love it.
Ooh enjoyed 18. Yes the sweater is important. Like how the chapter ends with the glittering diamonds on the bracelet. I can visualize it. Loved the flashback to the Neva river
I'm in awe. This whole chapter - the dialogue, the back and forth, the juggling for control, Villanelle being her absolute asshole self and Balice so trying to keep up - so on point, breathtakingly so. A thing of beauty.
I laughed so hard at 'Balice, if you sleep with an employee and then hit her-' And Balice closing her eyes knowing that the bracelet is as good as Villanelle's no matter how much she denies it. Villanelle has Balice dancing in the palm of her hand... couldn't happen to a more deserving person. (Pleaaaase Luke can she live at the end even if it is just to exist for the sole purpose of being humiliated pleaaaaase I love her)
Of course Villanelle and Eve know each other well enough to be able to tease each other about her taste in clothes. And for it to be a signal. AHHH these two!!!!
And -- 'I was her monster. I still am.' SWOOOOOON.
(Also: A PRINCESS OF WALES REFERENCE?!?!?!?!? NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!!!)
Big grin here. I'd say that every couple has their rituals and insider jokes nobody else knows about, and they can be used for coded communication in plain sight. It was beautifully carried out here, real classic spy stuff with the wink of an eye.
I was her monster , I still am! What a line from Villanelle 👏👏👏 I kept thinking could it be photoshopped , I can’t stand Balice seriously she makes me feel 🤢 😂, things are really starting to heat up ! So excited 😆 to be on this 🎢 journey of yours Luke the mastermind! I’m just loving this , thank you 🥰again 👏👏👏
How does Balice even think she could outsmart Villanelle? Villanelle is trained to see the tiniest details. Balice must think she's untouchable or maybe she's just very stupid. Either way, Villanelle has her dancing to her tune. Villanelle is getting into her hyper focused killer mindset for now, but Balice is simmering on the back burner.
Very interesting. Balice is such a bitch and stupid besides. She is very stupid when it comes to Villanelle, who is so brilliant. Villanelle is way above Balice in intelligence. She has Balice in the palm of her hand. Villanelle knows Eve so well and about the Photoshopping that was done. I hope Villanelle takes out Balice. Can't stand her. She is like annoying bug flying around your face. I love how Villanelle wants Eve back. She tells Balice that Eve is hers. I want so much for Eve and Villanelle to be back together. I'm sure that Eve wants Villanelle back and will be willing to risk everything for her true love. Her monster. Niko and Balice need to be taken out of the picture one way or another. The two of them are despicable. Okay Luke. I love how this is going. Villanelle must be careful with the job she has to do, and then please get Villanelle and Eve back together where they belong. I know they love each other and would risk everything to be together, as they have in the past. Thanks Luke. Can't wait until the next installment.
Love that the twist is the ugly clothing and Eve’s poor taste. They know each other so well. Great chapter. Revitalized my faith in a good ending for them.
I don't mind Balice as she is just a pawn in Villanelle's game as she makes her way back to Eve. Villanelle is most definitely writing the script and pulling the strings. Balice will have her comeuppance, I am sure, and whether she lives or dies I really hope that she is made aware that despite the perfume and the bracelet and whatever else is to come that it hits her hard how much out of control she really was. From start to whatever her finish is Villanelle was the one in control, and masterfully so. And now we have a double play being played by Villanelle controlling the narrative with both Balice and Johnny. What on earth has she planned? The game continues. I looked forward to the next chapter. Thanks Luke. :)
For now, it's just us!
Love that Eve's shocking taste in clothes was the clue.

Still unstoppable!
Ah ha! I was thinking about the Photoshop angle, but didn't know what tipped Villanelle off - she knows Eve well!

Love the reference to the Princess of Wales and Photoshop. very current.
Ha!
Not one effing word wasted. 🙏🏼

The monster thing reminds me of the bridge scene. V: "I think my monster encourages your monster." E:"I think I wanted it to."
