Summary
Episode 6 of Season 2 provides plenty of entertaining chaos.
Okay, everyone. Only Murders in the Building Season 4, Episode 6 has a lot going on. Following the shooting at the OMITB production office in Episode 5, Tawny and Trina Brothers (the movie’s directors) offer to give the audience their testimony via a documentary film as they are now murder suspects. It’s their truth. They are filmmakers, after all; grabbing a camera and rolling with it is their life.
Episode 6 provides context for the twin sisters. They did not fit in high school at all, and they were obsessed with blood and gore. However, their college professor inspired them to keep shooting films and to keep going, regardless of the chaos that may surprise them. The twin sisters clearly took that to heart.
Fleeing From The Crime Scene
Keeping in with the theme that this is a documentary, Season 4, Episode 6, feels like handheld footage. The chapter returns to the shooting; Zach Galifianakis was shot, so it looks like Oliver was the target this time, as that was his counterpart in the movie. The last thing Oliver needs is a near-death experience, especially with all the insecurities involving his girlfriend, Loretta.
So, the podcast trio flees the office building, panicked by the shooting. Understandably, they cannot make sense of why the twin sisters would carry out a shooting on their own film set. However, the twin sisters are undeterred by recent events and follow the podcasters, deciding that they need to document these events.
Back at the apartments, Detective Donna Williams is furious at the latest chaos. Her comedic turns are always appreciated. No matter what is happening, she is ready for gossip while, at the same time, dismayed by the criminal procedural process.
So, here’s the latest: Charles believes Tawny Brothers has a murder weapon with her. This is followed up by a new discovery: Dudenoff is apparently back in New York, so he is a suspect again. Plus, prison convict Jan Bellows has been seen again.
Only Murders in the Building has turned into a delightful mess. It’s chaotic, but in an entertaining way.
Bev heads over to the apartments, panicking after the shooting; she assures everyone that the police are investigating and that it will not impact the production of the movie. She wants everyone to sign a waiver. Bev represents the typical corporate executive: profits over safety.
Tawny and Trina Brothers in ‘Only Murders in the Building’
There Were Two Murders In The Building?
Attention turns to the West Tower after the podcasters learn that Vince Fisher was in the movie The Desecration of Alice, directed by the Tawny and Trina Brothers. He explains that he worked with them alongside Dudenoff…who was their movie professor at college. PLOT TWIST.
In a brief moment of desperation, they try to use Vince’s mini-drone to inspect the twin sister’s office but accidentally destroy it. Rudy Thurber may be good at Christmas themes but is terrible with technology.
Season 4, Episode 6 ups the ante in the closing moments. The dog, Gravy, accidentally knocks over Sazz Pataki’s ashes, but what’s revealed is two left metal shoulder joints. SECOND PLOT TWIST: Sazz was not the only body in the incinerator…there are two murders in the building.
Desperate times mean desperate measures. The podcasters go on the offense and turn the cameras on the twin sisters while interrogating them:
The sisters provide information with zero pressure. They admit they were in the apartment building on the night of the murders to meet Dudenoff, their film professor. They gush how they were his star pupils and the first person to believe in them. When asked if they would kill for Dudenoff, they said “yes.”
But then the interrogation turns to sorrow. It’s revealed that the other left shoulder joint belongs to Dudenoff; it was he who was in the incinerator alongside Sazz Pataki. The sisters are mortified; they have not spoken to their professor for three years since he moved to LA to cut off communication with them (I found this weird—they must have been so obsessed with him that he decided to cut them out of his life altogether).
The Podcasters Are Not Safe
Understandably, the twin sisters are devastated. But Charles is not done; he opens up what he believes is a rifle case, but it’s full of cameras. Tawny and Trina Brothers reveal that they have placed hidden cameras throughout the building for “behind the scenes” footage, which they apparently agreed to in their contract.
So, the episode ends with similar questions: Who killed Sazz? Who killed Dudenoff? Who was pretending to cash checks at the Bodega as Dudenoff?
As the episode concludes, the private cameras are taken down as it’s clearly an insane breach of privacy. However, it’s revealed that one of the cameras taken down does not belong to the sisters. The camera links to Sazz’s phone. Then, the podcast trio learns they are all being spied on and targeted; the killer is constantly watching them. In unison, they all receive a message saying, “I’m Watching You.”
The episode ends in ominous terms; the podcast trios have no choice but to flee the building they live in. They are no longer safe.
