Killing Eve producer breaks down final scene
Killing Eve season 3 finale spoilers to follow.
Killing Eve wrapped up its third run last night (May 31) after an up and down season, but it wasn't in the way you might have expected.
While a lot of the episode was dedicated to the mystery of The Twelve (more on that here), the final scene saw Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) on a bridge.
After stating that their 'will they, won't they?' was too intense for its own good, the pair decided to walk away from each other forever.

Of course, they both looked back. But what does that mean going forward? Will they just carry on as they are or actually attempt to make honest women of each other? Or were they just trying to psyche each other out?
Executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle has broken down that final scene, and what them turning around could mean.
"Well, I just think they couldn't get shot again. Or stabbed," she told Entertainment Weekly. "Of course, they are on a bridge and there's all sorts of drama that they could have happened there.
"I think that what was really appealing was for both of them to have an honest conversation, which we rarely see – particularly with the revelation in the earlier scene that they were both complicit in somebody else's death. They both did it together, and in a way that's a good jumping-off point for a discussion about where they are.
"And also, for Eve to say, 'You've got to release me. I can't stop thinking about you,' and for Villanelle to say, 'Well, it's really easy. You just walk away.' They walk away and Eve turns around with Villanelle, and I think what you see in her is she knows that Eve is going to turn around.

"She knows that Eve is going to be looking back at her. Is that point-scoring, or is it actually something much more fundamental than that? And that's quite an interesting way to look at it.
"It's just a little bit more introspective than before, but that's quite fun as well, not to do the same thing every time."
Judging from fans' reactions on Twitter, people think it's about time for Villanelle and Eve to finally become official.
