Only Murders in the Building left us hanging at the end of last season when Oliver and Loretta had decided to tie the knot. He was to move with her to New Zealand to film a new project immediately after the ceremony. However, with a fresh murder case to investigate, it will be interesting to see how he will navigate his relationship.
They had broken up last season because of distance, but then decided to give it another shot and got married. However, now things are bound to be hard when they share continents, not just states between them.
As for Mabel and Charles, they are expected to get back together as a trio with Oliver to identify the murderer. Lester's body was found in a fountain in the middle of Arconia's compound, meaning the murderer was inside the building.
