The team travels to Rome, where things get weird… and sexy.
Thats a lot of psychopaths!
Like, millions of them!

Villanelle is, of course, a highly exceptional (and murderous) psycho.
But what happens when shes not the only game in town?
We open with Villanelle, making toast.
The note says, Forgive me.
Villanelle puts on her Billie wig and goes off to lunch with her mark.
Aaron has reserved the entire restaurant and already ordered for her, not himself.
First, he watches Villanelle eat.
Then, he invites her to Rome.
She says she wont sleep with him, and he looks repulsed: I wont touch you.
Is Aaron Peel just an ordinary, antisocial, patricidal control freak with a dirty business deal to make?
Or is he something darker?
Instead, Villanelle listens to the voicemails with a smile… and goes to pay Niko a visit.
Out comes a knife, and some tough questions.
I was so close to letting both of you go, she says.
Shes too involved, he says.
Which, I mean, yes, me too.
But you dont justsaythat!)
And then, its off to Rome.
Remember poor, weird, dead Julian from Basildon, with thedoll collection and the demented mom?
But we also find out why Aaron chose Villanelle as his companion: he sees the emptiness in her.
Youre the only person in the world I know nothing about.
Thats me, Villanelle says.
Aaron says, Me, too.
But Villanelle is different from Aaron: where hes repulsed by people, shes fascinated by them.
And the person who fascinates her most is so far away, yet so close just a whisper away.
In Eves earpiece, Villanelle purrs, You should let yourself go.
She lets herself go straight into Hugos bed.
So, that happened.
Yeah, remember Niko?
Last seen in a storage container, being quizzed by Villanelle about the orientation of his heart?
In the final moments of the episode, we see him waking up.
Hes right where we left him, but Gemma isnt whimpering anymore.
