(Warning: This post, which was originally published Aug. 31, contains spoilers for Episodes 1-3 of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.”)
“Only Murders in the Building” characters Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) discovered the edge pieces of their Tim Kono suicide-vs-murder puzzle on the Hulu comedy’s first three episodes, which launched last Tuesday.
Though the trio of Arconia residents who are diving into the mysterious death of the neighbor who is (seemingly) a stranger to all of them clearly still have a ways to go to figure out what really happened — while learning how to properly make a true-crime podcast — the audience is now aware of one very key plot point that Oliver and Charles are not: Mabel was good friends with Tim Kono as a child.
