Oscar is also there. Mabel is recounting the notes that got left on people’s doors and then how they were hurt. There must be a connection. Oliver gets to his door and there is an eviction notice on it.

Only Murders in the Building: Is Tim’s lover the murderer?
Pataki and Jan stay behind. Charles, Oliver, Mabel, and Oscar go to the building meeting. Charles looks at Howard and thinks that he is a murderer. Bunny begins the meeting by saying Tim’s death has now been ruled a homicide and that the trio is in violation of the building rules as they have made everyone’s lives public in the podcast.
Charles announces that the podcast is over. Bunny makes a motion that the building can evict them if they all agree. When everyone starts to raise their hands, Howard speaks and thanks the three of them because he found out that his cat was poisoned, too.
The building votes to evict them. Bunny is going to start the process today. Mabel, Oliver, and Charles get into the elevator. Mabel and Oliver want to find the murderer so they won’t be evicted. Charles wants out.
