I did post a theory in the episode 4 thread about why Oliver and Charles didn't know about the murder of Zoe which would negate the Anzar theory. Basically Oliver and Charles were both dealing with losses of relationships that they were to pre occupied with their own grief to notice. That negates my thought that Emma and Lucy left cause Lucy saw something.
I hope I'm wrong about the pair being grief stricken and that they are just self absorbed cause the thought of Tina Fey being SUPER pissed that Anzar is in her circus baby group and thus agreeing to do the podcast out of spite fills me with such glee.

And please believe me when I say I am not doing this to be a jerk about it, but just so you can be as annoyed about it as I am. Her name is CindA, not CindY.
Please refer to her however you wish. We all know who you're talking about.

However it shakes out, I hope it's someone who's been part of the story and not some random connection from the days when The Hardy Boys were robbing the residents.
Yesssss! Even the link to Gus Montrose is a stretch.
I'm a little scared cause I just looked up Hardy Boy book titles as I am not familiar with the series and there are a ton they could absolutely use as clues to drive the story. I imagine "What Happened at Midnight" might come up if they start tracking Zoe's murder.

(His mother is the woman at the dinner party with Nathan Lane when Oliver announced he wanted a pool for "Splash"?)
Do we know the woman in the orange jumpsuit standing in the window during the closing credits?
I would assume that's the mother. When talking to Charles about Splash/Splat, he mentions that it broke his family up.
Do we know when Splash went Splat? Cause I had a thought about why Charles and Oliver didn't know about the murder. I believe it's okay to post it here as it's in the past, but please flag me and remove if I'm wrong. What if the failure of Splash and Emma/Lucy leaving happened around the time of Zoe's death. During that time both Oliver and Charles would both be even more distracted (and grief stricken] than usual and maybe just didn't pay attention to it?
Again, please flag me if this is inappropriate.

Yeah, I'm kind of fence sitting on it. On the one hand I can definitely see that if you felt you/your daughter were in danger you would not want to tip your hat to the person you are in danger from - hence the "hard break." On the other, if you did feel you were in danger, why would you let your daughter still stay in touch with the family.
Either way, I think we can all agree that Lucy is missing out on that circus class with Tina Fey. Oh wait, nevermind. If Lucy was seven when they moved in and they were together for 6 years she'd probably be too old for the class. Nards.

In the previews where Mabel is shown leaning over a bloody body with blood on her shirt and Oliver and Charles run up to her, the body lying in front of her is in a tie-dyed hoodie. In fact it it THE tie-dyed hoodie.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply that that wasn't tie-dye guy that was bleeding with Mabel. I'm sorry if I said something that made you think that. I just don't think tie-dye guy is the murderer.
4 minutes ago, djsunyc said:i'm making a close my eyes throw a dart guess here - i'm picking arnav as the killer. (he is friend's with steve martin's daughter). something is going to tie her into this case and with kono.
Hmmm, interesting. This might be a good reason that Emma broke up with Charles. Maybe Lucy told her something about Arnav and she didn't feel safe in the building anymore. Also perhaps why Arnav still keeps in touch with Lucy (via Arnav's daughter -- I think that was who was Facetiming with Lucy] to keep tabs on her.

Is everything we are seeing in the past, and the Podcast Lady is telling/showing us what happened? If so, when the murderer is finally revealed, she could have been wrong and some new revelation might come to light, suggesting a new solution.
I don't know whether it is a reference to their being 2 murderers in just Tim's case or if it means they also solve Zoe's murder and there were 2 separate murderers or, hell, why not both, but Cinda's podcast is called Only MurdererS in the Building.

I still have to rewatch after morning turkey, but these are thoughts that I had/can remember.

I mean, I get that we are supposed to be rubbed the wrong way by her pushiness; the show is all about storytelling and the ways that we share/hide/communally tell stories to/with others, but still. Ick.
I totally agree with you that no one needs to do this, but if Sting tells you that a building feels like guilt, it hits you where it counts.
Is Rod Stewart a common tune to learn on your bassoon and accordian type instrument? (I can't think of the name]
I know it's just an issue of time, but it took Jan like 15 seconds to get from her place across the courtyard to Charles' place. Do we know what floor Jan lives on? It's below 1O cause she got on the elevator after the group. Just curious. I can only hope there's some kind of secret passage. J/K
ETA: We live in a world where most of us lock our doors, but it made me sad when after what happened to Winnie Oliver started locking his door. That is a hard lesson learned.

I think you're right about it being Oscar. After I thought about it it makes a lot of sense considering Mabel's conversation with his father. He was very adamant about Mabel staying away from Oscar, but he can't keep Oscar away from Mabel. Also, you know, I'm sure his parole/probation officer would not look to kindly at him being caught near the scene of a crime. Even if he didn't actually kill Tim, which I think he didn't, he'd probably have a difficult time proving he had nothing to do with it.
ETA: but I still standby my thought that he had nothing to do with it.

I think because it seems like there's only 2 elevators, it took me awhile to realize how large this building was. I completely agree that that's probably a reason some people aren't aware of certain people/events.

No thoughts on the murderer yet, but I think that tie-dye guy is actually a good person. I think he ran away from the Tim Kono murder cause he was too late and needed to avoid detection and I think he's following Mabel because he does believe she's next. Who the tie dye guy is, I have no idea, but I think he's a red herring. I also think this might explain Mabel's "It's not what you think," line in the pilot episode.

He is deaf. The actor that portrays him is deaf. I always like when shows cast actors to portray characters with the disability the character has.
Maybe he's the person who pulled the fire alarm cause the noise would not bother him at all.
Now, off to the market to purchase a turkey to cook tomorrow morning and then to rewatch after my coffee has full set in.
ETA: Wasn't there another speculation thread or did I just have a strange dream last night.

The trio is scheduled to be on Colbert tomorrow, FYI

I should not be rewatching these again, but I'm actually sitting down and not eating a meal so I'm noticing other things. Bunny knows sign language? She was signing with Theo before the memorial.

If a seashell necklace pops up as part of the jewelry haul I think this case is going to go in a whole new direction.

Has anyone pointed out that Tim Kono is an anagram for "I'm not OK"? It's not a clue or anything cause that seems to be his given name, but hey, fun fact!

Further, wouldn't gossip like that be kept hush-hush to be avoid giving the place a bad name and lowering the property values?
Oh, I just meant gossip within the building. It wouldn't even have to be gossip. Looks of pity and whispers can also have an effect on people.

OK so the Whale tattoo is explained, Volume 47 in the original The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories is entitled "Mystery of the Whale Tattoo". Both girls had one, not sure if both guys got one. You have to be at least 18 to get a tattoo in New York, unless Mabel did it since she is an artist.
And not sure how exactly it fits, but apparently that book is about a group of pick pockets, so it seems somewhat relevant to the fact that they are stealing. Maybe?

Now that they have the exposition out of the way, they can have a little fun with the plot. The apartment full of cat hair and the dead cat in the freezer was very funny.
I found this funny, too. I'm actually curious if people still do this. I come from a cold, rural area and this actually wasn't super uncommon. If you had a small animal that passed in the winter and the ground was too frozen to bury it, you shoved it in the freezer and waited until thaw. Of course, you would also, you know wrap it, but for the gag to work we had to see it.

Zoe's family lived on the entire 11th floor, are they still in the building? They had to have known how close all the Hardy Boys were and that Zoe's death was suspicious.
Why doesn't anybody know Tim Kono?, he lived in the building for years, didn't he run up and down the hallways of every floor? Why did Tim Kono's parents leave him in the building with no money?
Definitely agree that some people should have known Tim Kono. Also, the money thing leads to all sorts of questions.
As for Zoe's family, I can easily believe that after such a tragic event they had trouble staying in the building (not just for the memory of their daughter, but I imagine gossip was flying] and decided to move.

I am hooked right away, this was a great first episode. I really love stories set in apartment buildings, and this seems like its going to be a great mystery. I certainly cant say I ever expected to see Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez starring in a murder mystery, but its absolutely working.
Steve Martin did not surprise me at all. He's done a few comedy/mysteries in the past. considering he also created this. I feel like he really enjoys them and I enjoy watching him in them. Martin Short pairs so well with him, so that's delightful. I don't know anything about Selena Gomez, so she's my wildcard.
I also randomly stumbled upon this cause it came up in my suggestions. I love it so far. Blazed through the first 3 episodes in no time. Can't wait for the new one tomorrow and looking forward hearing people's thoughts.

Enzo is listening to his CD and I can hear the music coming through the headphones. It’s only slightly muffled. The first song was some rap version of “It’s a Hard Knock Life”, from Annie, and now there’s another rap song I don’t know. I see a big fat royalty invoice coming.
It's Jay-Z.

See, now y’all are talking something entirely out of my depth of experience; you say “Candies shoes” to me, and all I think is that it sounds like something Sugar Plum Fairy would be wearing when they came and hit the streets....
Surely you remember the classy Jenny McCarthy on a toilet ad?

Gluing? Huh. Thanks for the info tho. I appreciate it.
I've noticed that although extensions can look great, there's always something going on in the scalp area that just seems a bit off. That said, I remember having long hair just once, years ago, and it's the best feeling. I understand why women get extensions.
Wait, this convo is triggering memories of being 5 and swanning around with a crinoline on my head pretending it was long hair. Good times, good times.
Yeah, gluing seems weird. It's a special kind of glue, but I just keep thinking of all the different kinds of glue I use (glue stick, Elmers, craft, hot/cold glue) that I can never get to stick to what I want, just to my fingers.
I have the same feeling about long hair. When I was in high school and college it was long. It sounds super dumb, but I really liked the way it swished when I ran. Then sometime after college I chopped it off for Locks for Love. Eventually, I switched to a lopsided shaved and like, ear length flop (I don't know how to describe it). Every once in awhile I'll think about growing it out, but then I remember all I ever did with long hair was braid it or put it in a ponytail so I keep it short and at least it looks like I put effort into it.
Most importantly, I have never heard the word "crinoline" and now I want to use it all the time.

S01.E04: The Sting
in Only Murders In The Building
Sting starts to say "Don't I know you from somewhere?" and Charles immediately jumps to Brazzo's. The same sort of thing happens with Mabel in the pilot but Oliver interrupts. I don't think they're talking about Brazzo's and they aren't referring to the just seeing him around the building. Please let this be something that does get revealed. I don't care if it's something like he had to take a job bagging groceries or being a clown at children's birthday parties. Just let it be something.
The nod to Serial about being sponsored by Squarespace made me chuckle.
