Only Murders in the Building - Silver Alert
After a tip from the Mayor (Keegan-Michael Key), our intrepid podcasters head to the wilderness of Connecticut and a secret rendezvous among the trio of billionaire suspects they still aren't allowed to podcast about. While not in any real danger, the settings (including the billionaires all playing classic board games in an empty mansion) certainly raises the creep factor.
The episode's title comes from the a text message Oliver (Martin Short) sends to Loretta (Meryl Streep), leading to an amusing conversation with the neighbors of Bash Steed (Christoph Waltz) which, along with somehow providing the answers needed to beat Steed and the others at trivia, showcases the utter absurdity of his life.
Fun moments include Oliver's ranting, Mabel and Charles unexpectedly using all outlandish stories told to them by Oliver to their advantage, and the introduction of Bash's creepy son (and his shiv). By the end of the episode our protagonists lose the finger, only just after reacquiring it, but they at least know what the billionaires are after (with potential ramifications to the Arconia). How this all fits together with Lester's murder, however, is still unclear.
