Yahoo News Killing Eve star Sandra Oh reflects on brutal season 2 finale
Note: This article contains major spoilers for Killing Eve's season 2 finale, which has just aired in the US.
Wow, you thought the finale of Killing Eve season 1 was brutal, they just went above and beyond that to wrap up season 2.
A quick recap: In Rome, Eve and Villanelle get tangled up in a deal between Aaron, Raymond and Carolyn. The head of MI6 wants Eve out of the picture, but Villanelle kills off Aaron instead and the pair go on the run.
Villanelle fakes being about to be killed by Aaron, manipulating Eve into making her first kill in an attempt to bring them closer together. Eve later realises this and tells her lover that they are done... only for Villanelle to shoot her.
Speaking about the bloody finale, Eve actress Sandra Oh told Entertainment Weekly that: "what’s so heartbreaking to Eve is that Eve is also killing. Eve enters into that title – and that discovery of 'You wanted me to do it?' is so brutal for Eve.
"It’s so brutal that she now becomes the killing Eve. The Eve who kills."
Talking about the moment where Villanelle shoots Eve, Oh says: "What was Villanelle thinking at that moment? Was she really wanting to kill her? Was she not? We have not yet decided.

"I will say the blood is coming from a certain area, and I think that we may move that around, the area of the shot. All that stuff is really being creatively decided right now.
"If Eve survives... I would imagine we know each other so much better now it would be like, 'Of course you shot me. Of course she tried to kill me'.
"But honestly, in the beat before the shot happens, there’s something in Eve that I think knows that it could happen, but she’s willing to walk away from that dynamic."
Killing Eve will return to BBC One and iPlayer in the UK in June.
