What Happened So Far in Only Murders in the Building Season 5?
The season opened with a triple-episode drop, plunging viewers into the Velvet Room — a secretive underground hub for New York’s elite where business, gambling, and shady deals thrive. The trio uncovered billionaire secrets, Lester’s mysterious bird ledger, and the unsettling presence of Nicky, who may hold more answers than he lets on.
The addition of new characters — Bash (Kristoff Wolf), Jay (Logan Lerman), and Camila (Renée Zellweger) — has raised questions about how deep the conspiracy goes. Each has ties to the Velvet Room and possibly the murder at the center of this season.
What to Expect in Episode 4: “Dirty Birds”
According to Hulu’s description:
“Snooping goes sideways when three billionaire suspects catch the trio and invite themselves over for an evening at Oliver’s.”
This episode marks a turning point. For the first time, the trio is caught in the act, forcing them out of the shadows and face-to-face with their prime suspects. The billionaires’ decision to crash Oliver’s home adds layers of tension and comedy — especially since Oliver’s ego thrives on attention, even if it comes from dangerous sources.
Themes of legacy and trust also deepen here. Charles is wrestling with his sense of purpose post-acting career, while Mabel and Oliver balance their ambitions against the risk of exposure.
Bird Symbolism and Hidden Clues
The title “Dirty Birds” ties back to a recurring motif this season. From Lester’s birdwatching to cryptic ledgers and references in dialogue, bird imagery suggests hidden connections between suspects. Fans speculate that:
- Lester’s bird ledger holds key evidence.
- Nicky’s ties to the billionaires may be financial or personal.
- The bird theme could signal betrayal and surveillance, echoing how the trio is constantly being watched.
