If Oliver Putnam had a nickle for every time he got his producer's son arrested for manslaughter committed via pushing someone from a high place, he'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Buckle up people, I’m about to tell you who’s this season’s killer

It’s Donna.

Why, you might ask? Nothing up to this point actually let to her, right? Wrong!

Have you ever seen that musical, The Producers?

The Producers’ plot is really simple. There’s this guy Max Bialystock, who - with help from this other guy, Leopold Bloom - scheme a plan of how to make 2 million dollars in profit from a total and utter disaster of a play. They think of this amazing five stages of a plan, which only the first two will be useful for us.

Step One: Find the worst play ever written.

Step Two: Find the worst director in town.

So, what does it mean for us?

Death Rattle (the play) is this ridiculous murder mystery where the main suspect is a baby. It’s, it’s just ridiculous, right? Step one speaks for itself.

Okay, but what about step two?

We know that there were at least two directors signed for this play: Jerry Blau and Oliver Putnam. Now, I’m not a critic, but I do have a feeling like both of them can be seen as a disasters just waiting to happen. We’re talking about people who are either a) living in the theater cause they’re broke and too proud to go back home, b) director of Splash! The Musical (2005). Like I said, not a critic, but doesn’t seem like a money making machine for me.

Okay, but what about it? It might as well be a coincidence that it fits, right? Wrong.

There are two real life people cameos in this season - opposed to last two ones, where we got just one per each. This time, we got this silly little guy, (who’s extremely talented and funny) Matthew Broderick, and this other silly guy (who’s more famous and more accomplished than any other star cameo in the series) Mel Brooks. What do they have to do with it, you might ask?

Well, it’s time to skip to the year of our lord 2001, and the Broadway premiere of The Producers, whom were written by silly guy number two, Mel Brooks. It had an amazing cast, everyone was so talented, and later nominated for Tony’s. One of which, was this silly guy number one, Matthew Broderick, for the role of Leo Bloom. Unfortunately, he lost in his category to his co-star, our own Teddy Dimas, Nathan Lane, who’s suspiciously absent from this season (sure, he was having some other, Broadway related play gig, but hey).

And you might say, okay, they got Broderick, and what? Well, let me tell you: not every show got a chance of Mel Brooks’ cameo. I mean, come on, Broderick has an incredible filmography and stage career, why The Producers out of all of them? Why Mel Brooks?

Okay, so you might ask now, if you’re still not convinced: what was her motive? What, was it money? That doesn’t make sense! And you’d be right. I think, that her motive was something far more important to her: Cliff, her son.

Up until last Tuesday I was convinced she wanted Death Rattle to fail. I mean, that was meant to be Cliff’s debut, and if it would turned out to be a hit, he would most probably leave her - or so she thought he would, so she poisoned the cookies, and left them for show’s biggest name, knowing Ben wouldn’t resist to try them.

But now I know, or at least suspect, that that’s not the case, thanks to one scene from this week’s episode.

While in the bathroom, Donna did said to Loretta, that a mother would do everything to protect her child; now, we were meant to be focused on Loretta and her struggle, but what if there’s more to that scene? What if she wanted her son to succeed, and the show to be a hit, but sensed that Ben Glenroy was a threat to not even her, but her baby, and his Broadway debut?

This week’s episode was about mother who was able to confess to a crime she didn’t commit, just so she could protect her baby. I think that this seasons murderer is a mother, who committed said crime, just so she could protect her baby.

OMITB... My guess...

Donna did the poisoning, but she did not end up killing Ben. The killer is Cliff.

I think Ben knew he was poisoned. Since he was fasting in advance of the play, the only thing he ate was the cookie, so he knows that's the source. While it was Cliff who offered him the cookies at the door, he mentioned that his mother ordered them. Then, there is one cookie waiting for him in his dressing room.

Ben confronts Donna, maybe he even has proof that it was Donna, and Cliff comes to her defense. He pushes Ben down the elevator shaft to protect his mother from going to jail for poisoning Ben.

Or... perhaps he was just stressed out and did his "anxiety dance" and accidentally knocked Ben into the elevator shaft.

Somehow, it's a mother/son tag team.

My second guess... it was Dickie.

Relieved that O/M/C has found Dickie "innocent," Loretta recants her confession. It's proven she couldn't have poisoned Ben, and she is released. She's eager to have a mother/son reunion, only to arrive at the Arconia to see Dickie being led away in handcuffs after all. That is angst worthy of our Queen Meryl

He was driven mad because he thought he was finally rid of Ben, and then he had the audacity to "come back." That's why he told Loretta "You understand."

So those are my guesses...

@icecoffee90, what do you think?

At this point, I am so highly suspicious of Donna and Cliff. Donna's little speech to Loretta in the bathroom is the biggest reason I have for this feeling. This was Cliff's first time producing a show. I think that Donna knew that the show was gonna flop, so to spare her son the embarrassment and the blow to his career, she had to stop they show from debuting, and she did so by killing Ben.

If it wasn't her, it was Cliff himself. I am however not sure what his motive could be. Maybe he was tired of being bossed around. Maybe they had a secret affair that ended ugly. I really don't know but he feels so suspicious to me.

At this point, no one else makes sense as the culprit. Tobert is suspicious. Too suspicious. The show wants us to be suspicious of him. Which makes me believe he isn't the murderer.

It is absolutely not Loretta. That is pretty obvious. We were ment to be suspicious of her this entire time, but her confessing in order to protect Dickie exonerates her in my book.

And it is not Dickie. I just don't think he has it in him.

The rest of the cast is clear in my book too. None of them have a motive. We also haven't explored any of them at all at this point which seems unusual.

Idk, my money is on the DeMeo's. And that is the end of my rambling.

i feel so smart because I had a feeling cliff had something to do with the murder (first i thought it was the other possibility for who ben could be talking to if it wasn't the cookies and then after donna said that mothers could do anything for their children) ESPECIALLY with her admitting so early into the episode

I had a thought last night that Ben Glenroy and Cliff DeMeo (on Only Murders in the Building) were having a secret relationship before Ben died for the second time and I can't get it out of my head. At this point I don't think that Cliff killed Ben, but I think that he knows more than he's letting on.

In the scene where Ben is shown talking or monologuing to someone, I personally love the cookie theory, that he's talking to a plate of cookies. That would fit in with what we know about Ben so far, but it wouldn't do anything to advance his character. In that scene, we see Ben talk to someone or something that he refers to as sweet, that could potentially ruin his career. A big-name action star, who's already self-conscious about his age and who was forced onto a highly restrictive Hollywood diet in order to keep his movie contracts, would be terrified of being outed and insist on keeping a relationship private. He would have hid his relationship with Cliff for career and safety reasons. This theory might even explain why Cliff was so adamant about producing the new musical version of Death Rattle, because it would remind him of Ben and in a tiny way, keep his memory alive.

I don't know who killed Ben; I don't think it was Cliff and I don't even think it was Cliff's mother Donna. They have a weird relationship, for sure, but killing your son's secret boyfriend goes way beyond weird. This is a developing theory and will be updated.

Edit: Well Only Murders this week disproved this theory.

OMITB 3x10 (THE FINALE) liveblog:

Okay, before we begin I just want to say my fear is that they won’t do anything with Tobert and there won’t be any pay off with him being framed as suspicious.

This actually seems like a pretty good explanation of what a producer does.

They actually managed to make the scene with Donna and baby Cliff feel sweet despite all the… you know.

“I have a hard enough time calling him Tobert.” lmao (and her smile after Loretta fist bumps her seems off to me, like the camera lingers too long.)

Good on Loretta for figuring out Donna’s sick.

I’m so sad that we’re gonna get so little of Mabel and Loretta together.

Idk if the hankies had names on them or anything, but I’m thinking they know the hankie wasn’t Donna’s?

I like Donna more and more as time goes on. ‘Yeah, I poisoned Ben, what of it?’ (and Mabel’s line: ‘why’d I write all these queue cards’ iconic.)

Would you rather fight one Ben Glenroy sized rat or 80 rat sized Ben Glenroys?

The cue cards on Charles’ back ojvfgiopk

It was Cliff’s hankie. He wiped his mom’s lipstick off after she kissed him on the lips again.

Tobert quit saying cute.

Oh Jesus Tobert.

I mean, that’s not going to happen.

Dickie 🥹

That was such a sweat moment between Loretta and Dickie.

Mabel, have you considered not confronting the killer alone in a high up place?

This is so close to how Zoe died cinematic parallels make brain go burr

This is so stressful

Okay, I found that to be more predictable then the other two seasons, but it was so well executed that I’m not sure if I care.

Also, WHAT’s the deal with Tobert?!

And who’s about to die? (and is it Tobert?)

Sazz Pataki?! Please don’t die.

Nooooo Sazzzz

I guess she was right about someone being out to get Charles.

That’s actually kinda fucking poetic, with her wanting to protect Charles.

And yes I’m disappointed they didn’t give us any pay off with Tobert. If you make a character suspicious, it’s typically best to have them be hiding something
