Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Episode 9: What to Expect and Key Details

The most recent episode of the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building, which aired on October 15, 2024, has confirmed that the mystery surrounding Sazz’s murder, portrayed by Jane Lynch, is still alive and well. This episode revealed that the clues uncovered by Mabel, Charles, and Oliver have been misleading.

With just two episodes remaining, we stand on the brink of unraveling the mystery, yet the truth seems just out of reach. The conclusion of episode eight clarified that Sazz’s murder was not connected to that of Dudenoff, thus further complicating the investigation. The next episode, being the penultimate one this season, is expected to delve into the significant clue left by episode eight.

Let’s explore what awaits us in season 4, episode 9 of Only Murders in the Building.

What to anticipate from season 4, episode 9?

The narrative in the eighth episode made it clear that the trio’s investigation was misguided, as Dudenoff’s and Sazz’s deaths were not linked at all. Surprisingly, Dudenoff was never murdered; he took his own life after discovering his terminal illness. This revelation implies that the true culprit would be someone involved solely with Sazz or the central trio: Charles, Mabel, and Oliver.

The upcoming episode will focus on the new lead that emerged during the closing moments of episode eight. While the clue suggested that Glen might be involved in Sazz’s murder, it seems implausible that the resolution will be straightforward. Although Glen Stubbins (played by Paul Rudd) remains hospitalized, the last moments of the episode indicated that he might soon regain consciousness.

In a nod to cinematic history, the title of the next episode is Escape From Planet Klongo. Its synopsis reveals:

“In pursuit of a vital clue, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel must infiltrate a film set to uncover the real motive behind Sazz’s murder.”

This episode will not only highlight Stubbins but will also concentrate on the trio’s quest to decipher the true reason behind Sazz’s untimely death. Their escapades on the film set promise a mix of hilarity and intrigue.

A brief overview of season 4, episode 8

The eighth installment of season 4 centered primarily on the enigma surrounding Dudenoff. Following the indications from the seventh episode suggesting the West Tower inhabitants’ involvement in the respective murders, this episode explored their dynamics and intricate relationship with Dudenoff.

The mysterious Helga, previously mentioned but not entirely understood, was introduced, culminating in a shocking twist: Dudenoff had not been murdered. In reality, he ended his own life upon learning of his terminal diagnosis, wanting to maintain the facade that he was alive and well in Portugal while allowing his tenants to continue subletting his apartments.

With this revelation, it became clear that Dudenoff’s death was unrelated to Sazz’s murder. Nevertheless, since Sazz had reached out to Helga via ham radio, Helga could provide an essential clue about the possible suspect in Sazz’s murder.

Additional details surfaced indicating that Sazz was being harassed by a former protégé, none other than Glen Stubbins (Paul Rudd), who remained in the hospital due to the botched assassination attempt on Oliver.
