Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) are back — and you might as well face it, you’re addicted to Killing Eve. The second season of last year’s surprise hit won’t air on BBC America until April 7, but the first trailer for the show is here offering up the most twisted, messed up Valentine’s Day present you can imagine.

The first season of Killing Eve ended in a massive cliffhanger, with sociopathic assassin Villanelle not actually making good on the promise of the title, and instead looking on, shocked, as Eve stabbed her in the gut. As our own intrepid reporter Meghan O’Keefe recently discovered, Season 2 starts a mere 30 seconds after Season 1 ends… And though it’s not a huge surprise, as teased in the trailer, Villanelle is very much alive and seemingly looking for revenge.

The trailer opens with Eve furiously munching on candy, before cutting to her, panicked, telling someone on the phone that, “I found Villanelle… I think I might have killed her.” Except Eve isn’t alone: she’s standing in front of a surprised couple in the middle of a marriage proposal.

And that, in a nutshell, is Killing Eve, which jumps ably from moments of intense emotional and physical terror, to humor, and back again without missing a beat. At the center of all of it is the relationship between Eve and Villanelle. Do they hate each other? Are they obsessed with each other? Do they love, or sexually want each other? The answer is probably all of those things, mixed up in a heady stew that defies characterization and has lead to viewers becoming mesmerized by one of the most fascinating (and twisted) relationships on TV.

“Sometimes, when you love someone you do crazy things,” Villanelle intones over surreal images of her walking in kid’s pajamas through an empty suburban landscape and what looks like a german bar-maid with a cartoon pig head. All of this is accompanied by Skylar Grey’s cover of Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love,” which keeps getting interrupted before it reaches the word “love.”

We’re not quite there yet with Eve and Villanelle, and the show isn’t quite here yet, either. Until Season 2 drops, we’ll just be obsessively watching this trailer, over and over and over again.

Killing Eve debuts on BBC America and AMC on Sunday, April 7 at 8/7c
