Eve and Carolyn track down Nadia to a Moscow prison, and are allowed to speak to her due to Carolyn’s camaraderie with two Russian Intelligence officers, one of whom is Konstantin.
Konstantin punishes Villanelle for her recent unpredictable behaviour by making her work with two other operatives: Nadia and Diego. The three are to assassinate Frank Haleton, Eve’s former MI5 boss, who Eve has discovered is a mole.
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 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.
