My Top ONLY MURDERS Theories
(Only Murders In the Building, last ep seen is S2 E07 flipping the pieces)
So I haven’t watched S2 E08 yet, because I’ve been working all day. BUT. I’m gonna post my biggest thoughts before I go in.
1. Leonora Folger IS Rose Cooper
This would make sense because Leonora stated that a woman has to ‘disappear’ for her work to become valuable. She also said that both she and Rose had an affair with Charles’ dad. She kept referring to the painting as “my painting!”. As she left, Charles had an uneasy feeling that she knew more than him.
2. More than one person is involved in the murder
The motives in this case seem scattered and hard to understand, so it could be that one person (Person A) ordered the killing, a second person (Person B) did the killing, and a third person (C; not allied with the first two) is getting involved in an attempt to change the outcome of things.
Suspects for Person A (the Instigator): Cinda Canning, Alice, Nina Lin’s unnamed partner
Suspects for Person B (glitter guy!): Charles’ Father (my #1 suspect overall), Alice, Detective Kreps, Marv the superfan, and Sazz Patacki
Suspect for Person C (leaving notes, rearranging evidence): Lucy (because of the matching T’s in Bunny’s and Charles’ cards)
3. The Watch Is Important
It’s keeps bugging me that I didn’t quite understand what Leonora meant when she repeated “I don’t do well at this hour!”
Was that hour… an hour that Charles’ dad was in Rose Cooper’s apartment, right before his arrest?And, wouldn’t that time be displayed on his watch in the painting?
Unfortunately, the watch’s hands are kinda impossible to make out. BUT! I soon realized that there is a clear shot (only for a split second!) of Charles’ dad checking his watch shortly before he goes up to the apartment.
It appears to read approximately “6:45 pm”. I converted 7 pm to military time, but that’s 19:00. (I was hoping it would be 14:00.) I still get the feeling, though, that the watch and/or the time are somehow significant.
This is nowhere near all my notes and thoughts — in fact I have 6 more posts in my drafts, and pages of research in my spiral notebook and phone… plus, I haven’t fully re-watched episode 7 yet. BUT!!! I just wanted to put these thoughts out there before I watch the newest episode. GOD I am excited
