Only Murders in the Building is a series caper, but the final season left fans shocked and desperate for answers after a major cliffhanger at the end of episode eight. Warning, spoilers ahead…
After ignoring his doctor’s advice and putting on a musical version of the murder mystery series Death Rattle, Oliver Putnam appears to have a second heart attack after his new love Loretta Durkin falsely confesses to the murder of Ben Glenroy and is taken from the theater by police. While Mabel and Charles are there and instantly go to help him, the episode ends on a huge cliffhanger, with Oliver’s fate left unknown – and fans are left unimpressed.
Sharing a gif of Jennifer Lawrence repeatedly saying “What do you mean?!”, one person wrote: “That ending! OML OLIVER.” Another person added: “I don’t feel good what a finishing Oliver is staying with me.” A third person wrote: “Oliver you better bear the [expletive] up and I’m so serious.”
Finally, one person posted: “When I tell you this ending made me shake. The way Mabel and Charles immediately came to help him. Oliver Putnam stays with me!”
The episode also contained a major reveal about Loretta and her connection to Ben Glenroy. While some fans had already come up with the potential theory that Loretta was actually the mother of Dickie, Ben’s adoptive brother who worked as his longtime assistant, it turns out that their suspicions were correct and that Loretta had kept some clippings and photographs apparently of Ben, but all with Dickie.
In the episode, Dickie was about to be taken away by the police, leading Loretta to confess to Ben’s murder, but fans still don’t think the mother-son duo did it. One person wrote: “I don’t think it’s Loretta. Maybe Tobert, but what’s his motive? I feel like Dickie could have made the first attempt and someone else finished work when Ben was found alive or maybe the other way around. “I suspect Donna now.”

ALSO THE TRIO IS BACK.” Another person added: “What if Dickie THINKS he did it he told his mom ‘Loretta’ so she’s covering for him thinking he did it but actually we’ll find out in the last episode that it’s Tobert.” What do you think?
