Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Episode 9, entitled “Escape from Planet Klongo,” brought to light a key development concerning the enigmatic murder of Sazz Pataki, which has been central to the narrative this season. Who has been mentored by Sazz? Was it Marshall who ended Sazz’s life?

Here’s a detailed look at Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Episode 9, providing answers to the burning questions.

Identity of Sazz’s Protégé Revealed

Rex Bailey, who has been masquerading under the pseudonym Marshall while penning the screenplay for the Only Murders in the Building movie, is revealed to be the protégé of Sazz Pataki.

Initially, the trio—Charles, Oliver, and Mabel—suspected that Glen Stubbins was the protégé Sazz had taken under her wing. However, their suspicion shifted when they met a bartender after leaving the hospital where they had confronted Glen about the murder. The bartender clarified that Glen was not the protégé. Instead, he was one of only three individuals who knew the true identity of the protégé, the others being Sazz herself and acclaimed film director Ron Howard.

The trio then decides to seek out Ron Howard to uncover the truth. Howard agrees to meet with Charles and Oliver at Oliver’s favorite Chinese restaurant, where he confirms that Rex, also known as Marshall, was indeed Sazz’s protégé. He backs up his revelation by showing them a photograph.

Meanwhile, Mabel encounters Marshall in her apartment and begins piecing together his real identity after finding a beer case containing a script for the Only Murders in the Building movie, credited to Sazz. This discovery coincides with Charles texting her the information he got from Howard.

The Uncertainty Surrounding Sazz’s Death

Whether Marshall is responsible for the death of Sazz in Only Murders in the Building Season 4 remains unconfirmed.

However, Marshall’s reaction when Mabel inquires about the script she found suggests he might know more about the murder than he has let on, or he could possibly be the perpetrator.

Only Murders in the Building continues to be available for streaming on Hulu.
