Tropes in this episode:
- Ambiguous Situation: After Eve's meeting with Anna, it's clear that Anna and Villanelle's relationship was intense and inappropriately close—close enough that Anna doesn't feel comfortable telling Eve all the details. But Anna was a) Villanelle's teacher, b) married, c) this was a same-sex relationship taking place in Russia—so even just dipping into romantic territory would be enough to make Anna very covert about it.Eve: I don't know. I mean, was it a crush? A fixation? A relationship?
- Has a Type: Anna notes that Eve is Villanelle's type. Both Anna and Eve are older than Villanelle, and have thick dark hair and palindromic names.
- Non-Answer: When Eve is questioning Anna.Anna: She had a... fixation.Eve: Was it reciprocated?Anna: I was her teacher; I was married.Eve: But... was it reciprocated?
- Parental Sexuality Squick: Eve is discomfited by discovering Carolyn's dirty letters, but Kenny is even more discomfited because Carolyn is his mother.
