Season 1

Mabel, Oliver, and Charles meet in the elevator

Arconia, a building where three protagonists live, experiences a fire alarm. They go to investigate and discover that Tim Kono, the boy they saw in the elevator while coming down, has been killed. They also find evidence that suggests he may not have committed suicide. They decide to investigate further and discover that Mabel knew Kono but didn’t reveal this to the other two. ..

Who is Tim Kono?

The Hardy Boys and the Mocs are a podcast about personal problems. Kono and Mabel, two kids who grew up together, had a strong friendship because they shared many common interests. However, their friendship started to unravel when they started to share more personal problems. For example, Kono was struggling with his weight and Mabel was struggling with her mental health. Eventually, their friendship fell apart because they couldn’t agree on how to solve their problems.

Mable and Kono were similar as kids and adults. They added Oscar and Zoe to the group of four, but Arconia had seen other deaths before.

In a flashback around ten years ago, we see that at a party, Zoe tragically falls to her death from the roof. An investigation is launched – both by the police and Kono. Oscar, who was Zoe’s boyfriend at the time, was seen fighting with her that night.

Mabel and Kono are left alone after the fight with Zoe. Mabel is outraged that Kono didn’t tell the police about the fight and doesn’t talk to him anymore.

Suspecting the neighbors

Oliver’s friend Teddy sponsors him again, but there is someone else in the house as well.

The show then introduces us to some of the peculiar inhabitants of the building. Howard with the cat is the first person the three interview. He is their number one suspect because of his animosity toward Tim, who did not like his cat and complained to Bunny, the manager, several times. At his house, they find leading evidence as well. Evelyn Howard’s cat mysteriously died on the same day as Kono. But their ambitions are halted as Howard faints at the sight of blood. The rock star Sting stays in the same building and Oliver suspects he might have something to do.

After Tina Fey’s advice, the group gathers the courage to confront Oliver. The connection is really weak as Oliver had heard him saying “I will kill Kono” in the elevator. Sting is actually relieved to find that Kono was “murdered” and had not committed suicide. He had fired Kono for losing him money in the stock market. Charles finds Jan, a bassoonist, and takes her on a date. They get personal with each other and share a second one to start a relationship. ..

The Tie-Dye Guy and Theo the mute

In the previous episodes, we were introduced to the mysterious person in the hoodie who seems to be the killer. He is seen several times and it seems he is very dangerous. He has been released from jail and now is roaming around the building. His old friends, H and Mabel, join forces with Charles and Oliver, saying that they knew who Kono was. Mabel also gets Tim’s phone from the authorities who rethink closed case. However, there may be more to this mystery as G.M, which Teddy owns, may have something to do with Kono’s death.

The theory is that Theo stole the jewelry from the funeral home and that he was the one who pushed Zoe that night. Kono saw it and Teddy indirectly threatened to kill him if he let out the secret. Theo realizes Mabel and Oliver are on him and kidnaps them. Charles, who is on another date with Jan, receives a message from them that Kono’s phone can be unlocked with the password “theo”.

The Finale

Jan gets stabbed and is found unconscious in her apartment by Charles. The trio is released by Teddy on the condition that they will be absolved in the podcast from any accusations around Koni’s murder. Their secret “business” must also continue untouched. Jan gets stabbed and is found unconscious in her apartment by Charles. The trio is released by Teddy on the condition that they will continue their secret business as usual, without any accusations around Koni’s murder. ..

Tim’s secret life is revealed as we see an array of adult toys in his apartment. Among them is a bassoon cleaner. Saz Pataki, Charles’ stunt double from his show, helps in the investigation. Jan IS the killer. She and Kono broke up the day before he was murdered. So her motive for killing is a crime of passion. Jan has a larger plan to murder the entire building through the fire vents that have recently been opened again. ..

The trio is successfully able to negate the threat and celebrate their victory, unless, of course, the opening scene replays and they are taken into custody.

In a nutshell, the story of Only Murders in the Building is about a group of detectives who investigate murders that take place in a building. The detectives are led by Detective John West and their investigation leads them to suspects who include the building’s owner, his wife, and their son.
