Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Episode 6 - analysis and theories

[@cheri7054]

What are you talking about dude in a blck suit. What??

[@misseverythingisfine]

Oh sorry I just realised I said Ben when I meant the guy that killed Ben. In season 3 episode 2 Mabel and Charles are thinking of scenarios where Ben would have grabbed on to the killer's hankie as he fell down the elevator shaft. In yes scenarios, the killer has a black suit. They don't know who did it, so they just imagine someone random in that scenario. But in Season 3 Episode 10 when we finally learn who did it and we see what happened, the killer doesn't have a black suit, he has a colourful blue suit. This tells us that the images we see of the scenarios in the trio's head of how it happened are not what actually happened. So this season when Charles imagines the shooter and he sees someone dressed in the cool blue outfit, it doesn't necessarily mean that that person is the shooter. That's just how Charles is imagining it. I don't if I'm explaining it right. Let me know

[@psiloveyou1964]

​@@misseverythingisfineI do know what your referring to. I think in the scene that they're imagining the way Ben fell, Ben has 1 of the rattle hankies in his hand?

[@misseverythingisfine]

Yeah that's the scene I mean

[@tmtb80]

21:48 wow. Great catch! My immediate thought when you showed the still......Matthew Broderick.

[@misseverythingisfine]

Yeah I think someone pointed it out in a comment and I didn't pay much attention to it but when I was rewatching, I realised that it was really a big difference

[@Jinxed222]

@@misseverythingisfine I think it kind of looks like Dudenoff. He’s got a similar face shape and also wears glasses. But now I can’t remember, did we see Jane Lynch’s face at the end of season 3 after the shot was fired? It was her writing in blood on the floor right?

[@misseverythingisfine]

Yeah that's what confuses me. We do see her writing on the floor

[@MagicalSkyWizard]

Wouldn’t be Matthew Broderick’s first body

[@tmtb80]

@@MagicalSkyWizard ouch!

[@ana-ex7ik]

The police didn't know there were 2 left shoulders because Sazz's left shoulder was in Bulgarian, not English.

[@misseverythingisfine]

Okay yeah that makes me feel a bit better about this potential big mistake but still... Wouldn't they go to the trouble of opening Google translate?

[@NoFrillsBJS]

With regard to something from Charles' past, what about when they talk about regret and Oliver says to him "What about that ad campaign you did for saccharine?" Then, when the trio are watching the student film (The Desecration of Alice), Mabel says, "There's some kind of anti-sugar message" which we don't really get from the part of it we see. When Mabel finishes watching the student film, she says, "Well, I was hoping for more clues, but what I got was a big fear of sugar." Could be a red herring, but it seems pretty strange. Do you see that fitting into any other part of the narrative?

[@victoriajloveland3144]

ok, I'm such a nerd. I went back to the last episode in Season 3. Right before "Sazz" enters the apartment. The Camera starts in the courtyard, pans up to the Westies tower, there are 3 windows in that shot that are suspect. One room is dark with a flashlight , one has the Brother's Sisters creepy costume and a fake hand. and then all the way over to the right, in the apartment next to the lit hall. It looks like someone with a red hat is taking aim out of the window? I think I have officially lost my mind.

[@misseverythingisfine]

Wait a minute what??? Okay I'm gonna watch it

[@Jinxed222]

I loved all the theories and the connections to the other episodes and seasons. I am so confused after this episode so I have no theories but I can shed some light on the cremated remains. Cremains is the correct term for that as weird as it sounds. I work in a funeral home and can say that everything about what happened there is pretty accurate. In a situation like this the remains are actually considered evidence and sent home like that. Although they’re usually returned to the legal next of kin and not a friend. It’s weird they didn’t put her date of birth on there, but because it’s evidence they’re not required to. That’s all I have to contribute this week but I’m so looking forward to your next video!

[@misseverythingisfine]

Thank you!!!! That's actually really helpful. For a moment watching that I thought maybe that could be a funny hint in case this is all staged, but it's not in this case. I guess we can assume the detective was doing them a favour but yeah it's strange. I really hope they pull this season together and it all makes sense in the end

[@Jinxed222]

@@misseverythingisfine I do find it pretty sus that the police didn’t run the serial numbers before returning the remains though. It’s pretty much impossible to get any DNA out of cremated remains but they could’ve at least done some basic police work right? Also, didn’t Sazz have like 4 joint replacements? One was like a knee or something I thought. Why are there only two left shoulders? I hate to say it, but I’m starting to think Sazz was never in the incinerator at all. Maybe it was just Sazz in her house when the trio heard the noise.

[@victoriajloveland3144]

I loved your theories. And the detective work involving the former episodes. What a Woman! Keep up the good work. When you talked about the shot of Sazz not being Sazz, but possibly Eugene Levy, I wondered...Charles driver in Hollywood seemed keen not to be seen. And he looks like Charles. Was it the Limo Driver instead of Eugene Levy entering Charles apartment? A convict would not want to be seen. So coughing would be a great way to distract. Also on Sazz's desk there is a Newsletter entitled "Burn Gel". I think that will play in. I think you are right, the killer doesn't want to kill the trio, they want to drive them crazy. For an even crazier theory, I wonder if Sazz posed as Helga? That's why Vince said he had never spoken to Sazz, because he thought she was Helga. My eye is on Marshall for the West Coast killer. I hope the East coast one is not Howard. I like Howard.

[@misseverythingisfine]

Honestly thank you, I needed the compliment today 😅 about the theories, I'm literally ready to believe in a lot. I've had the Sazz is Helga theory before and I wasn't a big fan of it, but if she really is alive is more than plausible. Still, wouldn't the westies have seen a photo of Sazz or something after her remains were found?

[@sairatariq425]

She has always make up on , when she was sazz, maybe her appearance as Helga is different? It would have been crazy if sazz turned out to be alive and killer of dudenoff, she is playing with them, I know everyone is saying sazz is dead, so yeah sazz stunt double is dead but Helga remains alive.

[@sairatariq425]

Sazz don't want to be stunt double anymore.

[@ana-ex7ik]

22:00 I'm sure it is just a stunt double or something.

[@trippiehippietay]

21:50 wtf!!! bruh omitb got some explaining to do

[@ana-ex7ik]

I wish this season has answers for season one sick pup Winnie, the dog being poisoned, and the handnotes to Jan, but I didn't think so.

[@cheri7054]

One of the twins shows up in an orange jumpsuit. Could foreshadow they are the killers but why kill Saz

[@misseverythingisfine]

Yeah I thought that at the beginning as well but I think this is just them kinda manipulating the viewers opinion in the film they are shooting within the show

[@ana-ex7ik]

"Tap in" is just for emotion. Sazz didn't fake her death. I like the theory that Dudenoff died naturally, and the Westies covered it up for the apartments. And yes they acted suspicious when told Dudenoff is in town. The Brother Sisters are innocent but if they had accidentally film the murder of Sazz, wouldn't they already see their footage by now? They just made a documentary. I hate the Ben= Glen and Glen is important theory.

[@misseverythingisfine]

Yeah it's possible but I really hope the tap in is related to that damn poker crew. I don't know what it is about it but in this shows/movies where someone leaves a message behind as they die, it's usually a clue about who did it. I agree that the sisters would have turned the footage in if they had filmed the murder, but I think that the movie reference has to be pointing to them filming something by accident and without even noticing it. The guy from the film only noticed what he had photographed after he developed the photos. I think they did film something important but haven't noticed it yet

[@cheri7054]

I think when you review this season episode 6 you should stick with the episode at hand rather then going back to other seasons. It gets confusing

[@misseverythingisfine]

I appreciate the suggestion but that really is not how my brain works. I prefer seeing the bigger picture rather than the episodic stories

[@tmtb80]

It seems like many things from all of the seasons are relevant. I love the 'looking back'.....like, who took the photos of Charles and Lucy outside of the Arconia?

[@misseverythingisfine]

Yeah I mean I just hope the questions have answers and don't become plot holes

[@cheri7054]

@@misseverythingisfine For the purpose of the show it should be separate. It’s confusing to go into details from other seasons. I forgot half the stuff you mentioned and I stopped watching . Every killer is different. Yes some similarities but still it too much
