Only Murders in the Building – Ah, Love!

  • wiki: link

Date night comes to Only Murders in the Building in an episode that doesn’t actually deal with Joy (Andrea Martin) as a suspect but instead focuses on Charles’ (Steve Martin) emotional issues with the help of his old friend Sazz (Jane Lynch). By the end of the episode, Charles has worked through his panic of dating yet another possible murderer and fears of commitment, but it turns out to be too little too late to save his unplanned engagement. While Joy is crossed of the list in Oliver’s mind, it is interesting that the episode doesn’t actually rule her out as a suspect (although her story does reveal more about the altercation between Charles and Ben on opening night).

Only Murders in the Building – White Room

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Only Murders in the Building – White Room
  • wiki: link

“White Room” takes its name from the multiple panic-induced breaks from reality Charles (Steve Martin) suffers while trying to get the patter song down for the play and deal with the realization he may have made a mistake in asking Joy (Andrea Martin) to move in with him. In each episode, Charles blacks out finding himself in a peaceful white room only to return to his consciousness to the horror (or, in the final example, delight) of what he’s done during his blackout. Although we don’t see exactly what Charles did during each of his episodes, the disgust of Oliver (Martin Short) and the others is certainly suggestive. The end of the episode’s realization that Joy the trio’s new prime suspect in Ben‘s (Paul Rudd) murder isn’t likely to calm him.
