Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Episode 9.

After wrapping up the Dudenoff (Griffin Dunne) mystery in Episode 8 and learning that it had nothing to do with Sazz’s (Jane Lynch) murder, the investigative trio of Only Murders in the Building was left at a loss. And with only two episodes left in Season 4, there isn’t a whole lot of time to figure it out, either. Luckily, Episode 9 drops any filler or fluff and gets right into the nitty-gritty of the investigation. Complete with flashbacks and A-list guest stars, Episode 9, “Escape From Planet Klongo,” finally delivers answers, including a shocking reveal.

Glen Stubbins Isn’t the Culprit in ‘Only Murders in the Building’

Last episode ended on a cliffhanger when it was insinuated that Glen Stubbins (Paul Rudd) was the stunt actor who had issues with Sazz on the set of a movie called Project Ronkonkoma. However, he’s still in the hospital after the shooting at the photoshoot. Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin), and Oliver (Martin Short) arrive at the hospital with a case of beer to hopefully rouse Glen from his comatose state. However, the nurse is very firm on not allowing any non-family members into the room, telling them that she will give them a call when Glen wakes up. The trio decides to wait in the waiting room as they ponder what to do next, where Oliver mentions that the case of beer he brought was given to him by Sazz the night she died. He’ll never drink it, so Mabel offers to take it off his hands.

Just as they’re about to leave, they bump into the bartender from Concussions, the stuntperson bar from earlier in the season. They mention Project Ronkonkoma to him, and he says that Glen wasn’t the original stuntman; he was brought in to replace Sazz’s protégé, because the guy messed up so badly that she had to blackball him. This sends a warning signal to Mabel, Charles, and Oliver, since the reveal provides motive towards not only Sazz but also Glen. The bartender also says that the only people who know what happened are Sazz, Glen, and the movie’s director. With Glen unconscious and Sazz dead, the director is their only hope for answers.

Only Murders in the Building Season 4 is available to stream on Hulu in the U.S. New episodes premiere every Tuesday.

Sazz’s killer is finally revealed in Only Murders in the Building Season 4 as another life is tragically lost.

Pros
