‘Only Murders In The Building’ has captivated audiences with its blend of mystery and humor, culminating in a finale that left fans on the edge of their seats. As we reflect on the high stakes and the twists that have unfolded, let’s delve into the implications of this gripping conclusion without revealing too much, for those who have yet to witness the spectacle.
Only Murders In The Building Finale Cliffhanger
The finale left us with a cliffhanger that has everyone theorizing about the fate of our beloved characters and what’s next for the show. That’s what finally puts Poppy over the edge and she confesses her grand plan,
but what does this mean going forward? With Becky Butler’s DNA found on the murder weapon, we’re left pondering who else might be involved. Could it be Nina, Bunny’s mother, or another resident of The Arconia?
Character Arcs and Development
The journey of Mabel, Charles, and Oliver has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. They’ve evolved from mere podcasters to amateur sleuths framed for murder. Their development peaked as they used some A+ slow-motion acting skills to pin the blame on Cinda, showcasing their growth. Donna’s character arc was equally compelling, evolving from a concerned mother to a dark figure willing to protect her son’s reputation at all costs. 
Revelation of the Murderer
The revelation that Poppy White was behind Bunny’s death was a pivotal moment in the series. Poppy said she “just wanted to make a good podcast” and with Officer Kreps, they were hoping she’d become famous,
a motive that speaks volumes about the show’s exploration of ambition and fame. Mabel’s discovery that Bunny’s dying words were actually “14 Sandwich” not “14 Savage,” thanks to Poppy’s unusual diner order, was a testament to attention to detail. 
New Mysteries Unveiled
The finale wasn’t just about wrapping up loose ends; it introduced new enigmas. With two attempts on Ben’s life and Donna convincing everyone to let her turn herself in due to her illness, questions abound. Who else might be involved? What are their motivations? These new threads promise an intricate tapestry for future episodes. 
The Role of Humor and Irony
The show’s humor and irony shone through in the finale. From Poppy planting evidence in Charles’ apartment only to be undone by her allergies, to Alice being accused in an ironic twist by Mabel, these moments underscored the show’s unique charm. Craig Erwich said it best: Only Murders in the Building is the true crown jewel of our slate.
Predictions for Next Season
As we look ahead, predictions for next season are swirling. With hints that Season 3 could land in summer 2023, based on previous patterns, we can speculate that our trio will face new challenges and perhaps even more complex mysteries within The Arconia. What lies ahead for Mabel, Charles, and Oliver is anyone’s guess, but one thing is for sure: their podcasting days are far from over.
