Only Murders in the Building season 4 will air its conclusion on October 29, 2024. After what turned out to be a roller-coaster of a penultimate episode, the show is all set to reveal the final answers (and possibly a new question, as it has already been renewed for a new season) next week.

Though it seems at the moment that viewers know the answer to the riddle, Only Murders in the Building season 4 has repeatedly misdirected and redirected fans with renewed vigor. If anything, things may not at all be the way they appear at the end of the penultimate episode. Moreover, there are still big mysteries to be solved.

Moreover, the final episode is also set to feature Oliver's (Martin Short) and Loretta's (Meryl Streep) wedding, which should make it both hilarious and heartwarming.


Only Murders in the Building season 4 finale: What to expect

Only Murders in the Building season 4 finale has its biggest hint in the title, My Best Friend's Wedding, possibly referring to Charles' (played by Steve Martin) point of view. This means the wedding will take place at the Arconia either while or after catching the real criminal responsible for Sazz's (Jane Lynch) death.

This episode seemed to confirm that the writer of the movie adaptation, Marshall, was the protege of Sazz, about whom viewers find out in the eighth episode. This also seemingly confirms he was the murderer. The ninth episode also gives a motive to the killer by revealing a script for the first draft of Only Murders in the Building movie adaptation, which seems to be originally written by Sazz.

The final episode will then uncover the truth behind Sazz's murder, whether Marshall is really the murderer or not. It will also depict Oliver's wedding, both of which have been mentioned in the synopsis for the episode.

The synopsis for Only Murders in the Building season 4 finale reads:

"The final answers are revealed but not before the trio faces mortal danger and an Arconia wedding."

The synopsis also states the trio will again face mortal dangers, which means that perhaps the killer will go after the three podcasters before everything is revealed.


A brief recap of Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 9

The ninth episode of Only Murders in the Building season 4 kicks off with the trio trying to decipher the events of the eighth episode. It was seemingly revealed in the eighth episode that Glen Stubbins was the protege harassing Sazz.

However, while trying to interrogate the unconscious Stubbins, the trio discovers it was actually another stuntman called Bailey, who was Sazz's protege. The search for this mysterious stuntman takes the group to a Ron Howard set and beyond.

Charles and Oliver finally find out from Howard that the man Sazz mentored was actually Marshall, the writer for the movie, who, at that moment, was at Mabel's apartment trying to fix his script.

Moreover, Mabel also found a script from Sazz's beer crate, seemingly the script for Only Murders in the Building adaptation but with the author's name as Sazz Pataki.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger without explicitly confirming that Marshall is the killer.


Only Murders in the Building season 4 finale will explore this story till the end when it airs on October 29, 2024.
