In the ninth episode of Only Murders in the Building’s fourth season, the characters investigate the events behind Sazz Pataki’s murder. The episode begins with a flashback of Sazz leaving the set of a movie two years before her death.

During this period, she meets her former stunt apprentice, Marshall, who becomes a key figure in the inquiry. Now, let’s see what else happened in the latest episode if you’re wondering.

A Deadly Stunt: Marshall’s Ties to Sazz Pataki’s Murder

In the latest episode of Only Murders in the Building, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel attempt to visit Glen Stubbins, Sazz Pataki’s stunt replacement, in the hospital.

Unfortunately, they are unable to speak with him due to his vegetative state. While there, they discover an important clue: Glen had replaced Marshall, Sazz’s previous stunt apprentice who had argued with Sazz following a failed stunt.

This statement shows that Marshall may have had a motivation for murder. To go more into the inquiry, the trio decides to contact Ron Howard, the director of the film Project Ronkonkoma.

Oliver, always the dramatic one, claims to be close friends with Ron Howard, but Mabel and Charles are doubtful. This amusing twist is later proven correct, since Oliver is, in fact, pals with the filmmaker.

Meanwhile in Only Murders in the Building, Mabel takes a more direct method, contacting Bev Melon, who has industry connections, to find out where Ron Howard is currently filming. Using this knowledge, the trio gains entry to the film set by pretending to be background actors.

On the set of the film, tensions between Charles and Oliver rise. Oliver is delighted about his forthcoming wedding to Loretta and asks Charles to plan a bachelor party for him. However, Charles reacts adversely, insulting Oliver and doubting that anyone will attend his party.

Later in Only Murders in the Building, this argument results in both of them being deleted from the set. Oliver eventually realizes that Charles’ dissatisfaction derives from feeling left out in his relationship with Loretta. They reconcile, and Oliver tenderly asks Charles to be his best man, resulting in a poignant scene in the episode.

Glen Stubbins eventually awakens from his coma, but before Mabel can confront him, he is cruelly slain. A mystery intruder smothers him with a pillow. Mabel is devastated by his death, and a key detail emerges: Sazz Pataki was listed as Glen’s emergency contact, but the voice on the phone sounded like a man. This shows that someone may have pretended to be Sazz.

After their reunion, Charles and Oliver are eating lunch at Oliver’s favorite restaurant when Ron Howard unexpectedly appears. Ron reminisces about Project Ronkonkoma, including a risky stunt involving Marshall, Sazz’s pupil.

Marshall caught fire during the stunt, but instead of waiting for the flames to die down, he approached Ron ahead of schedule to hand him a script. The fire rekindled, and Ron ended up with scorched brows.

As a result, Marshall was sacked from the project and left with a pair of Ron’s boots, which matched the footprint recovered at the crime scene at Dudenoff’s apartment.

Later in Only Murders in the Building, Ron Howard continues to provide details about Marshall, claiming that his real name is Rex Bailey. This proves his status as Sazz’s unhappy protégé. With this new information, Charles and Oliver feel Marshall is the murderer and immediately attempt to locate Mabel.

Mabel gets home and finds Marshall waiting for her. He requests her comments on the script for the Only Murders in the Building movie. Despite her sadness over Glen’s death, Mabel unwillingly agrees to help.

While fetching a beer from a crate in her flat, Mabel discovers a stunning fact: the script for the Only Murders film was written by Sazz Pataki, not Marshall. As Mabel confronts Marshall about the script, Charles sends her a text informing her that Marshall is Sazz’s former apprentice and possible murderer.

This episode of Only Murders in the Building ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers with numerous unsolved questions. Is Marshall genuinely the murderer, and if so, what was his motivation for killing Sazz Pataki? And how will Mabel, Charles, and Oliver keep him from injuring others?
