Don’t Get Attached
Johan and his group discuss the name of a new group, coming up with the name Chaos Club. They decide on Chaos Club because it is a word that is associated with chaos and anarchy.
Carolyn, a young woman, is central to this timeline. She is in a relationship with one of the members, Johan. However, she takes a liking to Karl, who is actually Konstantin. ..
Carolyn returns to Berlin and is reunited with her old friend, Villanelle. In her absence, Villanelle tended to the waitress who bring her food, discussing the violence her husband, Camilo, has been inflicting on her.
She decides to pay him a visit. A fireman arrives and comes in through the window, and Villanelle kills him courtesy of a firehose. The rush causes her to call out in delight.
Villanelle’s actions have a ripple effect of inspiring abused women to turn to her for help. ..
Konstantin meets Pam again and he’s not happy. His smile and laughs have turned to scowls as it turns out he has an ear infection. For now, they’re going to play dress-up as Konstantin continues to take the young woman under his wing and convinces her to act the part of a master assassin. ..
Eve manages to get a meeting with the photographer who took pictures of Lars in the past, but her plans go awry when she kidnaps Helene’s daughter. Eve has other plans though, and that comes from kidnapping Helene’s daughter.
The young girl is taken with Eve though, and unfortunately that gives her Villanelle levels of manipulation to use against Helene. Eventually Helene succumbs to Eve’s wishes and agrees to meet at 8am the following day. Eve does also bag herself some home videos from Carolyn’s time in the past too, which she watches in her hotel room. It’s here she finally catches up with the audience, learning that Carolyn is (or was) part of The Twelve.
Carolyn continues her search for Johan, retracing her steps and cutting back and forth between the past and present. Her story does a pretty decent job with its storyline, revealing that her boyfriend Karl is actually Konstantin. However, fate has other plans and after killing her father, the pair try to strike up a deal.
Johan rushes in and scuffles with the pair down on the dock, prompting Carolyn and Karl (Konstantin) to work together and kill him.
Helene and Eve meet up, confirming that they’ve found Lars. Konstantin meets back up with Villanelle who regrets how he initially handled her when she was under his wing.
Villanelle warns that one of his trained assassins will turn on him before long, but for now the pair hug it out like old times. Konstantin hands over a slip of paper with a contact to help her and watches as she walks away. That contact is someone by the name of Gunn who happens to be on Feasgar Island.
Eve is forced to watch as she’s hit with an arrow by someone up on the roof. Eve is irate and begins choking out Helene in the car. Eventually she leaves and tends to Villanelle as Helene watches on.
The Episode Review
Despite some good moments, The Twelve is a forgettable show that doesn’t quite justify its high price tag.
The story is starting to move in the right direction, but it still has some issues. Killing Eve still struggles to capture the same wacky and unpredictable feel that the original seasons had in abundance.
Carolyn’s backstory is a fascinating way to explore her character in more detail, and that’s easily the highlight of the whole season so far. Of course, this is helped by the visuals which have been consistently great right from the start. ..
There is no telling what will happen next in the next chapter of the story. ..
