Hello, Darkness

This episode sucks. If you like this episode, sorry, I guess. There's nothing good about this episode. Nothing monumental happens, except for the reveal of glitter guy in the worst, most boring way possible. He/she get's bumped into and he moves his neck?! LAME!!! Also, (name) stalking them was SO CREEPY AND SAD. Like, why was (name) there? So unnecessary. I feel like the writers FLOPPED with this one. Thank god the episode after this one is so well made. 1/10, just for how disappointed I am.

In the trio's attempts to solve Bunny's murder, they discovered a bloody matchbook from a nearby diner in a secret passage leading out of Mabel's apartment. The matchbook had a fingerprint on it, making it the clearest lead to catch the killer. Charles, Oliver, and Mabel texted the number they thought belonged to Detective Williams, asking her to run the print. However, things got complicated when they found out that the texter couldn't be Detective Williams, because she was on maternity leave. This meant only one thing: The mysterious texter was also the killer. The texter arranged to have the matchbook evidence left at a drop-off point, but the Only Murders trio surprised the mysterious figure with a glitter bomb instead - thus giving us the name "Glitter Guy." Glitter Guy managed to escape, but we've learned several things about him: First, that he is (or was, at one point) covered in glitter. Second, that he attacked Mabel, resulting in her stabbing him in the arm with a knitting needle. Third, that he works as a security guard at Coney Island. So now that we know who Glitter Guy is, does that mean we also know the killer's identity? Not necessarily. Kreps has definitely been an antagonistic force this season, but why would he want to kill Bunny? Why would he try to frame Charles, Oliver, and Mabel? And why would he text them to get out of the Arconia the night Bunny died? On top of all that, we've only just met Kreps this season. It's more likely that Bunny's killer would be someone we met in Season 1 who also knew Bunny and our leads. Kreps could still be involved in the murder - he is Glitter Guy, after all - but perhaps more as a sidekick to the actual killer. Think about it: Who's to say Glitter Guy and the person texting Charles, Oliver, and Mabel are definitely the same person? The texter, whose fingerprint is likely the one on the matchbook, could have called Kreps in for damage control. However, the way in which Kreps is linked to the killer is still unknown.

When the whole sector of New York fall into darkness, the characters have to treat it with kid gloves. The murderer is out there but the subdued nature of the environment throws roadblocks in the way. That cop reappears and is suspicious, but I doubt he is a candidate. Darkness makes for more threat in the shadows. There are some funny scenes where the elevator can't run without electricity. Also, that labyrinth in the building continues to make for some interesting confrontations.

... was the Sound of Silence song written by Simon and Garfunkle.

Now I have to keep writing something because I need to have at least 150 characters to have a review.

This is kind of useless. About as useless as the writing of Season 2.

Season 1 was so much better and i wish they would have stopped it there.

If this season was not as good as the first one. Only Murders in the Building makes a joke about it.

Marv of the podcast fan group is keeping the faith while the others are getting restless. Turning their attention to other pastimes.

With New York in a blackout, Marv seems to know about the tunnels in the Arconia as Lucy is in the building and in danger.

The blackouts leads to some nice character moments for other people in the Arconia, all done with the song The Sound of Silence.

I did feel for poor Lester having to climb all those flights of steps.

This was a good holding episode, with Oliver concerned about his paternity test. It did end with a good potential reveal which could be misdirection.

Mable thinks she has the identity of the Glitter Guy.
