Flashback: 2005. Oliver pitches Splash! The Musical to Teddy Dimas (Nathan Lane), an investor who lives at the Arconia. Oliver tells the story of how he met his wife, Roberta. After some convincing, Teddy agrees to fund Oliver's show. Charles and Oliver work on the next episode of the podcast, arguing as usual. Ursula arrives with more Gut Milk, more information about Tim Kono, and final notice from Bunny for Oliver, telling him he has 24 hours to pay up or his power and water will be turned off. Charles has taken selfies with all the neighbors who have made complaints against Tim Kono. They need to find the man in the tie-dyed hoodie, and "Tim's fiancee," since he believes the ring in the package was for a proposal. Oliver has a "dream sequence" searching for Tim's murderer in the form of A Chorus Line-style audition. Howard becomes their lead suspect when it is revealed that Tim had threatened to kill Evelyn, Howard's cat. Oliver insists that Mabel and Charles interview Howard, giving them wire microphones to record for the podcast. All the neighbours including our three we are following are hiding their own secrets. It was nice to get to spend some time with Oliver and learning more about why he has family issues. While it was fun and hilarious to spend some more time with Howard. So far, each episode of Only Murders In The Building has been getting better and better and the comedy has been improving too. In this third episode, we see some of Oliver's failures but also the relationship with his now ex-wife. After learning about the connection between Mabel (Selena Gomez) and Tim (Julian Cihi), this episode now focuses on the other residences in The Arconia. A part of me thinks the hooded figure isn't a neighbour but someone who is either connected to the murder of one of our trio. It would be interesting if the hooded figure was someone to do with Charles as he is the one who saw them. My favourite scene of this episode is the scene where Charles and Mabel try to interrogate Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton). In this episode of Only Murders In The Building, Howard is seen as the main suspect because his cat died the same night as Tim. Howard even reveals that Tim was always upset about something and his temper had gotten worse in recent weeks.
Immediately I think all of this has to do with Oscar getting out of jail and he is upset with how things were left with Mabel. Tim also had lost his job. I found it funny that Howard thought that Tim poisoned Evelyn.
