Villanelle - It was pretty damn blatant in this ep. Once again Angels were referred to her and she likened it to herself. Name wise - ‘Saint’ Julian was the patron of Travellers (hotel keepers & boatmen as well but irrelevant). He also killed his own parents (by accident) but received penance for housing and helping a leper. Lots of parallels to helping sick and injured Villanelle and asking for something in return. Anyway glad she killed him - in a way she did another ‘good’ killing - ridding the world of that scum and ‘freeing’ the mother (not REALLY good, but from V’s POV..) They are very much pushing her being likened to an angel (fallen/of death).

Eve - So i didn’t comment on each in my previous post much about Eve coz I only saw the obvious Eve + Apple but i realised in this episode there is quite a few things with Eve. Specifically the fact that (as we all know) shes getting tempted by Villanelle to turn dark and give in to ‘sin’.

Lust - well der, Villanelle is the peak of her sexual awakening.

Greed - this is a big one; the dress and the windows. Very, very unlike Eve to blow money on superficial stuff.

Gluttony - Could tie in with the above, but the excess food, the lollies at the train station.

Pride - She is very proud of her skills of investigation and proud of Villanelle. Bragging about V’s skills.

Wrath - She hasn’t show much of wrath yet, except at the kid with the lollies and later in the show (seen in trailers) she screams and yells in frustration.

Envy - I feel like we will be seeing a lot of jealous Eve (and V) with this new assassin. Also, her jealousy of Carolyn always looking good.

Sloth - Not sure bout this one yet.

Anyway they are really pushing symbolism this series, and i’m loving analysing it. I think Eve’s descent is gonna lead her to killing someone, probably to protect Villanelle.

The focus on angels in particular - ‘Gabriel’ being the kids name for starters; the wife of the dying man calling her an Angel; the 'mercy’ kill and specifically the fact that she was framed to be looking down upon his body with a low camera angle to make her loom was an interesting choice. Then of course her finding and fixating on the Apple in that shot. Obviously the connection of Eve and the forbidden fruit - especially given all the reference images with that Apple.

I feel like Villanelle is going to have a “good” complex this season. As in.. She will see what shes doing as being “good” (the mercy kill, telling the wife her husband is getting better) but her definition of good is so warped… which will be the 'Eve rubbing off on her’ sense. But of course… lucifer is a fallen angel so if they are using religious metaphor then we know which angel she is 😏 the one that tempts Eve to the dark side.
