Alright, fellow Arconiacs! Let's dive into the latest episode of Only Murders in the Building, and this time, we're all about family drama, unexpected alliances, and enough twists to make your head spin.
The Return of a Familiar Face
Remember Cliff, Donna's devoted, maybe-a-little-too-attached son? He's back, and this time, he's brought along... a puppet! Yep, you read that right. Cliff DeMeo and his ventriloquist dummy are stirring up the plot, offering some seriously awkward but hilarious moments.
It's hard to tell what's weirder: the puppet itself, or the fact that Cliff seems to be using it to...communicate? It's definitely a strange way to cope with grief or hide something. Who knows with this show, right?
Mother-Son Deception
Donna, oh Donna. We already knew she was hiding something, but the layers are starting to peel back. Her overprotectiveness of Cliff is reaching epic proportions. The "Did she do it?" question hangs heavy in the air.
And then there’s the bombshell dropped during a very tense dinner scene: Donna admits to tampering with Ben’s medication, but insists it wasn’t meant to be fatal! Talk about a jaw-dropper.
Oliver's Dilemma
Meanwhile, our favorite struggling director, Oliver Putnam, is caught in a real bind. He knows Donna messed with Ben's meds, but can he really believe it was accidental? It’s a theater-world conspiracy unfolding right before our eyes.
His artistic integrity is battling against his… let’s call it “romantic interest” in Donna. Can Oliver separate the woman from the potential killer? This episode is basically a Shakespearean tragedy with a comedic twist.
Mabel's Breakthrough (Maybe?)
Mabel Mora, bless her heart, continues her quest for the truth, and it seems like she might finally be onto something! She's putting the pieces together, one clue at a time.
Her street smarts and determination are really paying off. Will this be the episode where she finally cracks the case? We can only hope!
The Puppet's Perspective
Okay, hear me out. What if the puppet knows more than it lets on? It's a long shot, but this is Only Murders in the Building, where anything is possible.
The puppet is always there. Always watching. Could it be the key to unlocking the mystery? Don't laugh! Stranger things have happened at the Arconia.
Final Thoughts
Episode 7 was a wild ride filled with family secrets, awkward interactions, and enough red herrings to feed a small village. The performances, especially Linda Emond as Donna, were stellar.
One thing's for sure, we're getting closer to the truth. But with each new revelation, even more questions arise. Get your theories ready, Arconiacs! The truth is out there and Only Murders in the Building is a show that delivers surprises at every turn.
The big question is: Are we ready for what's coming? Only time and the next episode will tell!
