What to expect from Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 3? Everything to know

Only Murders in the Building season 4 is now in full swing, relishing in fresh drama, offbeat comedy, and plenty of new and interesting characters. By the second episode of the acclaimed Hulu comedy-mystery show, fans were acquainted with the mystery and with some of the possible suspects. There were also elements introduced in the premiere that are slated for a return later in the season.

While still far from its more interesting bits, the third episode of Only Murders in the Building season 4 is expected to kick things up a notch and bring back the lovable and hilarious trio of Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria, who were introduced as the "doppelgangers" in the first episode of the new season.

Moreover, the third episode could also bring back the angle of Amy Ryan's Jan, adding to the intrigue of the episode. Ahead of its premiere on September 10, 2024, here is what you can expect from the upcoming episode.

Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 3: What to expect?

Going by the show's usual approach to the mystery, the third episode will not bring fans any closer to the ultimate resolution but is surely expected to add more to the investigation in a positive way.

For instance, the previous episode hinted that the West Tower residents, especially one particular Dudenoff, seem quite fishy. Moreover, the hints deciphered by Charles (Steve Martin), Mabel (Selena Gomez), and Oliver (Martin Short) at the end of the episode also seem to indicate that Sazz's (played by Jane Lynch) murder had something to do with the residents of the West Tower and their game, which was called "Oh Hell."

Apart from exploring these angles, Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 3 will also bring back Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria as themselves. They were introduced in the first episode of the season as actors slated to play the three protagonists in the film adaptation of their podcast.

The synopsis for the third episode has confirmed that the three Hollywood people would be joining the three podcasters to dive into the investigation. The synopsis for the upcoming episode reads:

"Charles, Oliver and Mabel begrudgingly pair off with new investigators, actors Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis and Eva Longoria."

This will not only elevate the depth of the episode but will also surely add a lot of humorous sequences. The first brush-up with Zach Galifianakis, for instance, yielded extremely hilarious results. This should continue in the third episode. Moreover, like the second episode, the third one will also perhaps continue with the exposition of Sazz's past (and also perhaps feature Jane Lynch once again?).

A brief recap of Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 2

The second episode of the show followed up on the harrowing discovery of Sazz's death. After the trio finally realized she was murdered, they went into their investigation mode, with only Charles not participating this time, choosing to mourn over his long-term friend instead.

The investigation took Oliver and Mabel to the West Tower and its eccentric residents. Meanwhile, Charles was also visited by an escaped Jan, who came looking for Sazz.

By the end of the episode, the trio discovered some clues that would take their investigation forward and also ascertained that whoever killed Sazz, originally meant to kill Charles.
