- Title: 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).
In an episode that sees podcasting (are they even recording this season?) and play rehearsal put the the side, romance is in the air for both of his fellow podcasters as Oliver (Martin Short) has an unconventional, but successful, date with Loretta (Meryl Streep), and Mabel‘s (Selena Gomez) evening with Tobert (Jesse Williams) quickly goes from stakeout to date. Both dates also provide potential paths for the murder investigation and Mabel observes some suspicious activity between Jonathan (Jason Veasey) and Ben’s doctor, and Oliver makes a troubling discovery in Loretta’s apartment provide motive for his new girlfriend.
