Eve finds a connection between a murder committed by Villanelle and another death in 1974, and is disturbed by the delivery of a birthday cake sent by Villanelle.
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 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.
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.
Villanelle approaches Carolyn and offers to turn into a source for MI6; Carolyn rejects her when she can’t give any data. Villanelle then, at that point approaches Eve and requests that she recover a bundle Konstantin had stowed away to help his departure.
