Villanelle: [to Niko] God, it's so nice to finally meet you. Smell ya later.
The MI6 team make a pact with the devil in order to get information from The Ghost.
Tropes in this episode:
- Almost Kiss: Between Villanelle and Eve as she holds her at knifepoint in the kitchen.
- Brutal Honesty: Villanelle tells Niko a) that she was the one making complaints to the school about him, and b) that Eve stabbed her. It's true, yes—and told vindictively, with the intent to harm.
- Failed a Spot Check: Villanelle flirtatiously asks Eve if she wants to search her body for a weapon. Eve refuses as she doesn't see the point in doing so. She really should've checked to see if Villanelle had a weapon. And Eve got her answer when held at knifepoint.
- For the Evulz: Villanelle tells Eve to take the pills only to tell her it's poison, just as she once did to Konstantin. But it’s all a ruse, and the pills are fake!
- Gory Discretion Shot: Villanelle interrogates The Ghost offscreen. Whatever she does or says to her, it's enough to not only get all the information Eve wants, but also reduces the tough, silent professional killer to tears.The Ghost: Monster.
- I Ate WHAT?!: Eve takes the pills with champagne Villanelle gives her, only to be told it's arsenic causing her to throw up. Afterwards Villanelle starts laughing and tells her it was a lie and the pills weren't poisonous.
- In Love with the Mark: Though not played straight.
- Inverted Trope: A hit on the preexisting object of Villanelle’s affections.
- Invoked Trope: Eve put out the hit on herself.
- Internal Reveal: Niko learns that Eve stabbed Villanelle in Paris.
- Nightmare Fetishist: As one of the professors on psychopaths notes, Eve is the only one who doesn't look away from the bloody grisly crime photos.
- Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"!: Eve takes the pills Villanelle gives her with the champagne, despite not knowing they are. As a means of showing that she's not afraid of Villanelle.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Konstanin reminds Villanelle that she shot him in the heart back in season one and both Konstanin and Kenny (separately) remind Villanelle and Eve that Eve stabbed Villanelle back in Paris.
- Recruiting the Criminal: Eve gets Villanelle to interrogate the Ghost.
- Ready for Lovemaking: Eve asks Niko if he wants to go upstairs with her, after receiving a present from Villanelle.
- Retargeted Lust: After receiving a present from Villanelle, Eve immediately has sex with her husband Niko.
- Shout-Out: Carolyn fears of being accidentally crushed under the library book stacks like The Witch from The Wizard of Oz.
- Vomit Discretion Shot: Eve's face is obscured by her hair and her back being turnt away when she forces herself to vomit up the pills into her kitchen sink.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Kenny gives one to Eve.
