Emmerdale fans likened the ITV soap to Killing Eve as Meena kissed Dawn on the lips, before making her escape.
The serial killer - played by Paige Sandhu - has been terrorising the village for months on end, and her latest victims were Dawn Taylor and Billy Fletcher, who she kidnapped after their intimate - but romantic - Valentine's Day wedding.
Fans tuning into tonight's episode saw Meena lying on the floor as Dawn and Billy finally overpowered her, but they were dealt a cruel blow as Meena told Dawn to tie Billy up and give her the gun - or she wouldn't reveal Dawn's son Lucas' whereabouts.
Meena told the pair they needed to let her go, or they would never find out where she had hidden Lucas, who she claimed she had left suffocating - but cruelly told them that Lucas had about half an hour left if they didn't find him in time.
Reluctantly, they had to let her go - but not before Dawn had one last thing to say to her.
"Meena, he's only little, he'll be terrified. This has nothing to do with him! Tell me where they are, tell me where Harriet is," Dawn said, shouting at the killer as she held her against the white limo.
Reacting to her movements, Meena quipped: "Hey, take me out to dinner first," as Dawn told her to shut her mouth.
She continued to taunt the mum of one about her son's whereabouts, leaving Dawn with no choice but to let Meena go and drive off in the white limousine.
But just before she left, she told Dawn to stay as she leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Fans took to Twitter to express their shock at the moment.
"Meena loves to kiss. First Manpreet and now Dawn who's next? # Emmerdale x," one wrote.
A second added: "Don’t tell me Meena in Emmerdale wasn’t written by Villanelle, I’m telling you," as a third wrote: "#emmerdale deffo got Inspiration from killing eve."
"Take me out to dinner first and then she kisses her #Emmerdale," a fourth shared.
