Summer Streamin' 24 - Only Murders in the Building - Season Four

The fourth season of the American mystery comedy-drama television series Only Murders in the Building commenced late August, on Disney+.

Starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, & Selena Gomez continuing to producing true crime podcasts that investigate murder cases in their apartment building.

Michael Cyril Creighton, Paul Rudd, and Meryl Streep all return from the season three. 

In addition to Creighton, Rudd, & Streep, season four additions include, Zach Galifianakis, Kumail Nanjiani, Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy, and Eva Longoria. While Melissa McCarthy also has a show stopping episode performance. Finale spoilers that aired just now below. You have been warned!


So how does season four wrap? After we kinda found out the killer in last week's episode.

Charles and Oliver return to the Arconia to find Mabel being held hostage by Marshall in her apartment. While trying to figure out how to save Mabel, Charles realizes that Marshall committed Sazz's murder in 12 minutes by traversing the inner ledge of the building. 

Charles and Oliver decide to do the same from Vince Fish's window while Marshall gets distracted by Vince and Rudy performing a "ding dong". Once they reach Mabel’s apartment, they confront Marshall. Marshall reveals that after Project Ronkonkoma, Sazz showed him her draft for the OMITB movie. 

Envious of Sazz’s writing skills, Marshall stole Sazz’s script, then sold it as his own work. Sazz told Marshall she would tell Charles the truth, so Marshall, the son of a hunter, killed Sazz. Then, worried that Glen would oust him as Rex Bailey, Marshall killed Glen at the hospital. 

Marshall then attempts to kill the trio, but they get saved by Jan, who shoots Marshall from Charles' window and reveals she was still hiding in the Arconia and knew everything, after which she gets arrested again.

A few days later, Oliver and Loretta hold their wedding in the Arconia’s courtyard. That same evening, a woman named Sofia Caccimelio (Téa Leoni) runs into Charles and Mabel and requests the trio to solve the disappearance of her husband, who the news proclaimed as dead, but they refuse. I am predicting, main plot line in season five next year?

The next day, Loretta tells Oliver that she will be moving to New Zealand alone as she cannot take him away from Charles and Mabel. Later, Charles, Mabel and Oliver find Lester the Doorman, dead in the courtyard’s fountain with his blood gushing into the fountain water.

So who killed Lester? Who is Sofia's rich husband? What did he have going on at Arconia? So many questions, all have to wait till next year. Disney+ has severed up so much quality TV lately. With two more finales to come this week. Agatha All Along & Grotesquerie both also conclude this week.

More TV tomorrow with the racy UK dating series, Dating Naked UK. Oh the foreskin!
