The Big Reveal: How Marshall Became the Killer

Marshall Pope, introduced as the movie's screenwriter (episode 5), has had a lot of questions posed about his identity, yet this episode brings plenty of clarity in many important aspects. A notable voiceover introduces Marshall, raising immediate questions yet not arousing suspicion initially because that device has always been utilized by the Only Murders in the Building team to create intrigue. This subtle approach is a significant stylistic choice for this team and it completely impacts this new storyline.

Episode 9 paints this whole scenario. Helga (a Westie) revealed that Sazz mentioned being killed by a stuntman in "Project Ronkonkoma"—who also turns out to be Sazz’s protégé, creating several intriguing elements which completely connect the initial storylines in Season 4, making it much easier to fully understand the plot and reasons given in episode 9. The duo tries to connect with Ron Howard, obtaining more information concerning that incident. That stuntman gets caught out after his footprints matching the crime scene are compared with those shoes worn by Ron Howard. Finally they show a photo to Charles and Oliver– it was Rex Bailey – and yes, that's Marshall.

Typically, Only Murders in the Building reveals the killer in the finale episode. Yet episode 9 makes a crucial revelation which hints toward another killer: The fact that Marshall was directly connected and found to have Sazz’s phone for several key plot points indicates he’s deeply connected; although that could very possibly indicate another killer working with him, someone with an earlier axe to grind–possibly that other person who’s been targeting the main characters in past seasons; this is not certain and makes for an extremely interesting, unresolved point that could create huge developments later.

The initial reasons seem quite simple: Marshall’s original script brought him the job; however many other problematic story alterations meant more work; it all got a bit too chaotic which pushed Marshall into becoming more desperate and led him to seek out easier solutions! It even comes up as he's following Mabel. This reveals this new element: Marshall finds Sazz's script claiming it's hers! So there's his motive! To steal Sazz’s work. That’s clever writing that also generates some intrigue: Another person’s responsible for Glen's (Paul Rudd) death which leaves those previous seasons’ unanswered questions totally unanswered, this could imply even stronger tensions between the past events and these ongoing situations; that unresolved point might impact Season 5.

The intense on-screen romance between Oliver and Loretta (Martin Short and Meryl Streep) has even sparked serious real-life dating rumors. But are they merely close friends? These intense feelings shared between these two veteran actors really made for several amazingly funny yet equally heartwarming and sentimental moments throughout the season, despite being frequently challenged by the characters' very unpredictable lives! Short has explicitly denied this yet he maintains these frequent sightings with Streep, with plenty of photos and several events generating even more fuel toward these long-lingering rumors, all that evidence keeps that theory incredibly credible.

But whether you think they're secretly dating or are merely very good friends; it is easy to agree that this intense chemistry between these two talented stars added to Season 4; these moments are ones you wouldn’t be able to get without both being so extremely charming, endearing, and humorous, all at the same time, really providing some uniquely compelling elements in such an otherwise suspenseful series!
