Killing Eve 3.6: Wounded

Well, wounded applies to at least two major characters in Killing Eve 3.6, just on BBC America tonight.

First. as I intimated in my review of episode 3.4, Niko wasn't killed by the pitchfork in his neck, after all.  As I often say, in the metaphysics of television drama, someone is not 100% dead for sure unless you see the head literally blown or cut off (and, even then, if it's 24...).  Since Nico got prongs only in his neck, I figured there at leas was a fair chance he survived.  Which he did.  But not his wanting to be with Eve, although that was already pretty well gone, too.  But now we hear him, in a voice reminiscent of the late Stephen Hawking, tell Eve just what he'd like her to do.  Not stay with him, in terms a little more vivid.

But there's another wound suffered tonight, this one by Villanelle.  Not that she hasn't been hurt before on the job, but this stab in the arm carries a big symbolic significance:  she doesn't want to do this kind of work any more.  She's been saying that since the beginning of this season.  She wants to assign people to do the killings, not do them herself.

But speaking of killings, Konstantin's daughter happily does one, too, before the episode is over.  He figures in a lot of different subplots tonight, the most interesting (to me, at least) actually being not his own daughter, but what is going on exactly between him and Fiona's daughter.  He may be Kenny's father.  Would he sleep with Fiona's daughter, knowing that there's even a chance that she could be his daughter, too?  This means either he knows for certain that he's not her father, or they didn't sleep together, or both.

Provocative possibilities.  Now that I'm all caught up with Killing Eve, I'll try my best to get in my reviews of the last two episodes of this season in a more timely way.
