The shocking Season 2 finale cliffhanger of "Killing Eve" ended with MI5 operative Eve, played by Sandra Oh, shot and left for dead by the obsessive Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer. According to ComicBook.com, co-showrunner Sally Woodward Gentle explains the plot twist was a take on "Thelma and Louise." To her, it was clear that Villanelle's fantasy of running away with Eve to the wilds of Alaska would just never work out. Ever.
