Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Episode 8 Recap
At the beginning of the show, Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Martin Short), and Oliver played by Steve Martin are still shocked by what they learned about the Westies and how they are connected to Dudenoff. As they think about what to do next, they decide to beat the Westies at a card game at Oliver’s place. They think the Westies have been hiding something important so the stakes are high, and their meeting quickly turns into a tense fight.
When the Westies first show up, they seem nice, but things get scary when Vince locks the door and Rudy pulls out a knife. The mood changes when everyone in the group sees they are in a dangerous situation. Ana takes everyone’s phones to stop them from talking to each other. As the Westies tell their stories — the tension is obvious. They vehemently deny having anything to do with Dudenoff’s death, saying that he had moved to Portugal.
The Meaning of the Ding-Dong
In an unexpected turn of events, Mabel and the others decide to call Helga, who has her own ideas about Dudenoff. This idea comes from a daytime show. She thinks of the good times she had with him, but she quickly starts to doubt the Westies. Helga talks about her relationship with—Dudenoff and how she got a note from him right before he left. In it, he asked her to be worried about him because she had seen that his Westies were acting strangely.
Things take a dramatic turn when Mabel shows off a key piece of evidence—Dudenoff’s mechanical shoulder. The group goes up to the Westies and forces them to tell the truth. In an important turn of events—they find out that Dudenoff planned the whole show. The Westies talk about the shocking events of that terrible night: Dudenoff had sent them all invites to a “funeral” and asked them to meet in the basement.
Truth About Dudenoff’s Death
Dudenoff tells everyone in the basement that he has a disease that will kill him soon and is afraid that his death will cause his friends to lose their homes. He comes up with a crazy idea: he would take some pills that would kill him, and then the Westies would burn his body, making it look like he had gone to Portugal instead. The fact that Dudenoff tricked the Westies into covering up such a crime shows how complicated friendship and trust can be.
As the story goes on, it becomes clear that the Westies did what they did because they loved Dudenoff, not because they were mean. They were forced to do what he wanted—which makes their situation even more tragic. Mabel, Charles, and Oliver decide not to tell anyone about the Westies. Instead, they want to protect the fake family that Dudenoff had made for them.
Now there is a new suspect.
Helga drops another bombshell about Sazz Pataki’s death just as the Dudenoff case is coming to a close. She says that Sazz had been talking on a ham radio about many things including her worries about Gleb Stubbins—a dangerous stuntman who had been bothering her. Sazz thought this stuntman might hurt her which brings up pressing questions about his role in her untimely death.
This new information changes the focus of the investigation and calls into question what was thought to be true about Sazz’s death before. Now that the Westies have been found not guilty, the investigation is back on to find out who killed Sazz and why.
Things are more important than ever as Episode 8 comes to a close. The ending with Dudenoff’s death adds an emotional heart and brings out themes of loyalty and sacrifice. The Westies, who were once thought to be suspects—are now seen as sad characters who did what they did because they loved their friend. At the same time, the new clues about Sazz’s murder move the story forward and keep fans on the edge of their seats as the season comes to a close.

The Only Murders team has to find their way through this new area and uncover more secrets on their quest for justice. With only a few episodes left—the tension is obvious and fans can’t wait for the next part of this strange story about —friendship and murder.
