Villanelle’s return to her family home in Russia is met with surprise and suspicion from her extended family. She bonds with her reclusive brother Pyotr and her Elton John-obsessed half-brother Bor’ka, and reunites with her mother Tatiana.
Villanelle is ordered by Raymond to perform a clean assassination like the Ghost. She kills her target in a lift and delivers lipstick to Eve with the name “Love in an Elevator” to ensure that Eve knows who performed the assassination.
Villanelle is elevated to Keeper by Hélène, a specialist of the Twelve, and requested to kill a Romanian lawmaker. Baffled and disappointed that the work is the same, she moves toward Konstantin and requests to join his arrangement to flee.
While founding wounded Villanelle, Eve is called back to London to investigate a murder case believed to have been ordered by the Twelve. Villanelle has a rough time as she makes her way from a Paris hospital to London.
Villanelle tries to get Eve’s attention with an assassination in Amsterdam based on The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers but is angered when Eve does not show up to investigate.
Villanelle meets with Hélène over her commitment to the job. Villanelle asks for another assignment instead. She and Dasha travel to Aberdeen to kill an American businessman at a golf resort.
