As a long-time viewer and fan of this thrilling series, I must say that this season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. The plot twists and turns have kept me on the edge of my seat, and the characters’ development has been truly captivating. However, I must admit that some aspects of the finale felt a tad too convenient, as if the loose ends were being tied up a bit too quickly for my liking.
As our team gets closer to another criminal, Charles suddenly notices a pattern: with every crime they solve, another body appears just in time for the season finale. It’s typical for this to happen, but it’s amusing to watch the characters become aware of their show’s formula. It seems as though they’re developing self-awareness, and soon enough, they might figure out that they’re part of a TV series. However, Oliver, who is getting married to Loretta tomorrow, isn’t thrilled about the prospect of another death, fearing that Loretta could be the next target. The likelihood of this depends on when The Devil Wears Prada 2 starts filming.
However, there’s a more urgent threat: Mabel is being held captive by Marshall P. Pope (Rex Bailey, if you’re nasty), who uses her phone to text Charles and Oliver to stay away. The thing is, they didn’t know she was in danger until that text, so he was kind of telling on himself. The good news is that she’s still alive at all, a feat she was able to pull off by reminding Marshall that he needs her to fix his screenplay’s horrible dialogue. A lesson to all aspiring screenwriters: be so good that they can’t kill you.
Peering into the hostage area across the courtyard, Charles comes to understand that the murder wasn’t just the work of two people and that Marshall managed to execute the entire plan swiftly by walking along the building’s ledge to move between the units. One misstep from a pigeon, and it would have been a mess. Despite his own phobia of heights, Charles decides he’ll take the same risk to save Mabel — considering he couldn’t protect Sazz before. He doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes. Instead of attempting a dramatic climb along the entire building, they opt for a quicker route by starting from Vince Fish’s window. That way, they get an extra peek at Richard Kind.
In the scheme, Mabel is meant to flee through a window as Marshall’s attention is elsewhere, but Charles, impulsive as ever, decides to confront his friend’s supposed murderer instead of following the plan. However, they soon realize that this antagonist is armed. Yet, Charles isn’t unprepared. He carries an unusual weapon – Eva Longoria’s 19-in-1 multitool, with at least four settings capable of causing harm. Somehow, amidst the chaos, they manage to disarm Marshall, who Mabel reveals took Sazz’s script.
In the climax of this murder mystery, it’s the moment when the culprit delves into his past, explaining his motives. We learn about his father pushing him towards marksmanship instead of writing, and how Sazz helped him when he was struggling for recognition. Even after an attempt to burn Ron Howard, she stood by him. This conversation sparked Sazz’s own writing ambition, leading her to draft a screenplay inspired by the “Only Murders” podcast. Keeping just one copy of such a valuable script could have been Sazz’s most daring risk yet. For heaven’s sake, save it online too!
Marshall secretly criticized the script, saying “It’s not fantastic, everyone has to start somewhere,” to Sazz. This left her crestfallen, as she usually exudes confidence. It was heartbreaking to see her dejected. What makes it worse is that Marshall then made a copy of the script, used a false name, and tried to pass it off as his own in an attempt to get an agent. Soon enough, they turned the script into a movie without Sazz knowing. This behavior from Marshall is unforgivable!
As someone deeply involved in the entertainment world, Sazz learned about it promptly and informed him that this act of treachery was more painful than any blow she’d experienced on the job. He attempted to justify his actions, but Sazz revealed her intention to visit Charles’s play in New York and disclose the truth about the movie to him. In the words of Scooby-Doo, “Ruh roh.” Instead of allowing Sazz to jeopardize (his stolen) opportunity, Marshall devised a strategy, much like a villain would plot. He was aware of the Dudenoff apartment due to information in Sazz’s script, so he jumped on a late-night flight to New York himself to eliminate this fresh danger. He shot her, but before she passed away, she warned Marshall that his “number one” would be his undoing.
As Sazz had foretold, Charles becomes so furious that he throws Eva Longoria’s laser at him. Amidst the chaos, Marshall manages to regain control of the gun. “Welcome to the end of your movie,” Marshall declares dramatically, mimicking a villain from a horror film like Scream. However, as they stand on the brink of death, someone shoots Marshall. From afar, it was Jan who took the shot, seeking vengeance for Sazz’s death and seemingly hiding within the building’s walls throughout this time. From a narrative perspective, it fits, but it seems a bit too convenient, as if the storylines are being tied up more quickly than usual, giving us a sense of haste that we aren’t accustomed to in this series.
The trio, no longer fearing murder, and with a fresh perspective on their cinematic experience, make a trip to the film set. Here they observe their on-screen alter egos engaged in a scene. As they watch, they mutter, “They believe they merely need to unravel Tim Kono’s murder.” This serves as an engaging means for the series to demonstrate the significant progress these three characters have made throughout the seasons. Charles, in particular, has developed a renewed affection for the project, now aware that it was penned by Sazz. In a touching finale, Sazz reappears as a figment of Charles’s mind, congratulating him on his performance.
As the enigma of this season is finally unraveled, I, as an ardent fan, find myself in a delightful predicament. Oliver and Loretta are able to tie the knot without a menacing presence lurking around, though the question remains whether Oliver will accompany her on her journey to New Zealand, where her show is relocating. However, considering that season five has already been given the go-ahead, it’s clear that our beloved character won’t be jetting off to the land of the Kiwis.
Having found myself quite intrigued, it’s me who gets approached by Téa Leoni, portraying Nicky Caccimelio’s wife. She seeks our aid in locating her missing husband. Ah, that’s why the sudden news report about him last week felt a bit forced! I was thrilled at the prospect of this new angle for the upcoming season. Moreover, it would address concerns about more deaths serving the show’s premise, but honestly, it’s just a TV show. Besides, so far, there have been only a few such incidents. My apartment building has seen far worse, and there are hardly any character actresses around. Unfortunately, the group declines Téa Leoni’s request, sticking to their rule of investigating only murders within the Arconia. Yet, Mrs. Caccimelio hints that the Arconia is somehow linked to her husband. So, we’ll have to wait till next season to uncover the mystery. Nevertheless, let’s anticipate some fantastic guest stars with a mafia-themed season!
After the podcast concluded, Oliver got married and Téa Leoni declined the proposal, it seems we have a potentially blissful ending on our hands. However, as they start to rejoice about surviving the wedding without another corpse appearing, they find Lester, Arconia’s doorman, dead in the fountain. I must admit, I wouldn’t be as saddened if he hadn’t been allowing all those murderers access to the building throughout this ordeal.
