“The White Room”

Only Murders in the Building returned this past Monday night with the next episode of the third season. Charles, Mabel and Oliver did a little more investigating on the murder of Ben Glenroy this week while Charles’s panic over his patter song from the musical Death Rattle Dazzle sent him into the White Room.

Apparently, the White Room is a panic-induced delusion suffered by stage actors where they do not realize what they are saying or doing. Charles’s trips into the White Room apparently resulted in some vile and shocking behavior during his song performance.

This was not the only thing that happened when he was in the White Room. He also proposed to his girlfriend Joy, who has just recently moved in with Charles- along with her 62 fish. Charles was trying to find a way to get her to move back out when he went into the delusion and ended up popping the question.

Meanwhile, Joy becomes yet another suspect as they found one of her lipsticks in Ben’s dressing room, with a picture of a pig drawn on the mirror in the red lipstick. Mabel discovered that someone was in the dressing room with Ben the night he collapsed and ‘died’ on stage.

We also got the return of Tina Fey as Cinda Canning with an offer to Mabel. It’s always fun to see Tina Fey on this show and I am curious about what she is really trying to do with her offer to Mabel.

Mabel, who was having trouble finding an apartment. She was shown doing a visit to an apartment that was very small (all white too) and you could tell that she simply did not want to move into this after living in the Arconia.

We did not see Meryl Streep this week, but we did hear about Oliver’s stress over trying to come up with the perfect date to break his rule about dating someone from his play. He eventually just texted her the word, ‘dinner?’.

It was good to get more into the mystery and less with the musical.
