When the trailer first dropped for this new season of Only Murders in the Building, the big question among fans was: How exactly is this going to work? Sazz (Jane Lynch), the long-term friend/rival of Charles (Steven Martin), was shot to death by an apparent sniper in the Season 3 finale, in Charles’ own apartment no less. How could our favorite podcasting trio be heading off to Hollywood so quickly, considering they’re about to discover something so tragic?
(Warning: Spoilers ahead.)
The answer, it turns out, is that they don’t. Our unsuspecting trio returns to Charles’ apartment early into the premiere to find everything where they left it; all traces of Sazz’s death have been erased. The only sign that something’s wrong is the bullet hole in one of the windows, which nobody notices. Although Charles is concerned about Sazz’s disappearance, a few texts from her phone are enough to convince him that she’s alright. For now at least.
