According to Mabel Mora, the best are back! And they’re on the trail of a brand new suspect. Like just the murders in the building returned with its penultimate episode on Wednesday, our favorite crime-solving trio put together a timeline of events from the day Ben died. Warning, spoilers below…
WATCH: Just Murder in the Building Season 3 – Trailer
After discovering that Ben was actually talking to the cookie on the dressing table – not the killer – Mabel, Oliver and the Charlies determined that the cookie, mixed with rat poison, was the original murder weapon. And who was responsible? None other than theater producer Donna, who was trying to protect her son’s debut as a Broadway producer.

While the revelation surprised many fans, many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to vent their frustrations after theorizing that Ben had been talking to the cookie a few weeks ago.
“I’ve been saying for weeks, from the moment we saw Tobert’s video, that Ben was talking to a cookie. AND I WAS RIGHT #OMITB,” wrote one.

In August, one fan had already tweeted: “Seems pretty obvious that Paul Rudd was talking to a plate of cookies in his dressing room, not a person. #Suicides.” And another agreed, writing: “90% sure Ben wrote it himself ‘[expletive] pig’ on the mirror after eating a bunch of cookies in his dressing room. #Suicide.”

After Charles and Oliver’s genius stunt, which involved placing a camera in the dressing room during the interrogation of Detective Williams, True Crime fans were able to understand what happened on the last day of Ben’s life.

After an argument with Loretta, which prompted Charles to punch Ben in the face, the actor, feeling dejected, returned to his dressing room, but not before talking to one of the show’s producers, Donna.
In what seemed like perfect timing, Donna told Ben to go back to his dressing room and take care of himself, which is exactly where the CoBro star discovered the cookie laced with rat poison.

After endless speculation, Mabel, Oliver and Charles finally figured out what happened. The conversation Tobert’s camera accidentally caught between Ben and the mysterious person wasn’t a conversation at all.

Instead, the actor was revealed to have been talking to the cookie, prompting him to end his fast. Frustrated with himself for eating the cookie, Ben then called himself ‘[expletive] pig’, which he wrote on the mirror in his dressing room with the lipstick Joy had left behind.
As for the big reveal, Oliver, recalling a conversation he had with Donna, determined that she had actually read a scathing review of Ben written by theater critic Maxine. In an attempt to protect her son and fellow producer, Cliff, from a disastrous Broadway debut, Donna, observing rat poison in the theater’s office, hatched a plan to remove Ben from the equation.

While Ben managed to survive the poisoning before being pushed into an elevator shift in Arconia, next week’s episode will surely reveal who dealt Ben the final blow. Is Donna responsible or is another killer on the loose? And will Loretta be convicted of a crime she did not commit? Looks like we’ll have to wait for the grand finale.
