The metaphorical puzzle gets flipped, and Mabel starts to see things clearly.
Only Murders In the Building Season 2 Episode 7 focuses on so-called "Bloody Mabel" and has her spending time with a most unlikely ally -- Theo Dimas.
The puzzle theme has been a big part of the show's marketing, but now it comes into play in a real way.
Mabel's current puzzle is symbolic -- the mystery of Bunny's death -- but she loved solving puzzles with her father. Now, she solves mysteries, a type of puzzle, with her two new father figures.
Again, fatherhood plays a considerable role in these characters' lives. It was true in Only Murders in the Building Season 1 and is even truer in Only Murders in the Building Season 2.
It was a nice parallel to bring Theo back in "Flipping the Pieces," the seventh episode in the premier season, since he featured centrally in Only...
