- Villanelle: Do you live here? This is a nice home.Bor'ka: Are you from Pinner?Villanelle: No.Bor'ka: Watford?Villanelle: No!
Villanelle returns home to Mother Russia to try to find her family. Perhaps a new connection to her roots will give her back what’s been missing in her life.
Tropes in this episode:
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Villanelle clearly adored her father, who died long ago and who she only half-remembers.Villanelle: You really don't remember dad?
Pyotr: What was he like?
Villanelle: Funny. Strong. Taught me how to fight. He was much better [than mum]. - Enfant Terrible: At least according to Tatiana, Villanelle was one.
- Fan Boy: Bor'ka for Elton John
- Freudian Excuse: We met Villanelle's mother, at any rate. She's not a great mother, and is somewhat emotionally abusive, but not wildly so.
- Matricide
- Pet the Dog: Villanelle spares her brothers, and gives Bor'ka the money to go see Elton John.
- Where I Was Born and Razed: Villanelle burns down her mother and remaining family's new house after killing her mother and kills her stepfather, stepbrother, and stepbrother's girlfriend in the process.
