Only Murders in the Building – Ah, Love!

  • Title: Only Murders in the Building – Ah, Love!
  • wiki: link

Date night comes to Only Murders in the Building in an episode that doesn’t actually deal with Joy (Andrea Martin) as a suspect but instead focuses on Charles’ (Steve Martin) emotional issues with the help of his old friend Sazz (Jane Lynch). By the end of the episode, Charles has worked through his panic of dating yet another possible murderer and fears of commitment, but it turns out to be too little too late to save his unplanned engagement. While Joy is crossed of the list in Oliver’s mind, it is interesting that the episode doesn’t actually rule her out as a suspect (although her story does reveal more about the altercation between Charles and Ben on opening night).
