Spoilers ahead, obviously.
The thing is, this finale actually does live up to the promise Oliver makes.
It provides an answer to the question Who killed Tim Kono?
With its new murder victim Bunny bites it!
Basically,Only Murders in the Buildingdid all the things in its finale that most viewers could have wanted.
But the finale and the first season overall werent satisfying simply because they met expectations.
But a huge motivator is our love of surprise.
Certainly there is some of that going on here.
And perepisode eight, the show doesnt exactly make podcast superfans seem like well-adjusted, normal people.
A light, amusing series with twists and turns is a perfectly fine thing to be.
They are aghast when she describes Sting as the guy from U2.
Oliver has ongoing issues with his son, Will, but in the finale, they reconnect.
So do Charles and Lucy, the daughter of his ex.
Even the messy relationship between Teddy and Theo Dimas is a cross-generational one.
And Jans dalliance with Tim plays into that cross-generational theme as well.

Im a sucker for lonely guys with notable age differences I meet on elevators, Jan explains.
In other words, shes comfortable going 20 years older or 20 years younger.
She can cozy up to a boomer or a millennial.
Shes an age-agnostic Gen-Xer.
So basically, the lesson here is to never underestimate a Gen-Xer, always fear them.
The real point is that age does not need to be and often is not a barrier in relationships.
As Charles says in his podcast voiceover, We are all connected.
We are all Tim Kono.
Unfortunately, that means that all of us can potentially enter a relationship that turns us into a victim.
