Killing Eve fans left reeling from epic bus scene in latest episode

Season three of Killing Eve just dealt fans a shocking twist that has lit up discussion on social media.

BBC America's hit thriller aired a brand new episode last night (Sunday), ending with Eve and Villanelle facing off for the first time since the season two finale.

Villanelle surprised Eve on her commute, turning up on a London bus with no warning before nonchalantly approaching her.

A fight quickly breaks out, but the big talking point comes directly after when Eve and Villanelle share a kiss.

Fans were ecstatic to see such a bold and unexpected development for the series...

However, others were a bit distracted by the awkwardness of Eve's fellow bus passengers, who watched on the sidelines as she duked it out with her pursuer.
