The Only Murders Season 2 Finale Revealed Bunny Folger’s Killer

Spoilers ahead for the Only Murders in the Building Season 2. Another day, another murder in the building. Season 2 of Hulu’s hit murder-mystery comedy already unraveled a new case — one that implicated the show’s true-crime podcasting trio. When the Arconia Board President, Bunny Folger, was found dead, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) worked to solve the case before they paid the price for a murder they did not commit. They took the opportunity to record Season 2 of their podcast to knock down their rivals and clear their names once and for all. But as Season 2 proved, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel realized that solving this case would be more complicated (and personal) than they ever expected.

Season 2 raised a lot of questions, as viewers might expect for a quirky whodunit. But few questions are as important as who actually did it. Having reached the finale, we can finally put an equally neat and messy bow on the season’s biggest question.

Who Killed Bunny Folger?

As revealed in the Season 2 finale, those responsible for Bunny’s murder were Poppy (Adina Verson) and Detective Kreps (Michael Rapaport). The episode began with Poppy trying to pin the murder on her boss Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) to cool suspicion on herself. However, one careless error by Poppy allows Mabel to finish connecting the dots of the mystery. Viewers may remember Bunny saying “14, Savage” in her final moments, which we now know is a reference to Poppy’s diner sandwich order, otherwise known as #14.

Oliver, Charles, and Mabel then enact a plan to try to force a confession. They employ the building’s resident actors and invite Cinda and Poppy to stage a killer reveal party. Mabel initially accuses Cinda of the murder, despite the fact that there isn’t evidence to back up that theory. In a twist, Mabel then changes her mind and accuses Alice (Cara Delevingne), who quickly confesses and stabs Charles, leaving him to bleed out.

The group restrains Alice, and with the mystery solved, Cinda is floored by Mabel’s detective work and offers her a podcast of her very own. Poppy snaps over being passed over for the promotion she’s been asking for all season. She confesses that she’d wanted to make a podcast about Rose Cooper’s (Shirley MacLaine) painting, but Cinda shut down the idea, wanting murder content, not art content. So, Poppy murdered Bunny to make for a better story. She also seduced Kreps into going along with her plan. His incentive was also a promotion, as a reward for solving the case they planned to pin on Cinda.

The final also reveals that Poppy is actually Becky Butler, the assumed-dead subject of Cinda’s first murder podcast, All Is Not OK in Oklahoma. Poppy/Becky faked her death, changed her appearance, and tracked down Cinda, offering up a story about Becky Butler and leveraging her way into a job. The Oklahoma podcast turned out to be a hit, but despite Poppy’s continued hard work, she never received the credit she so craved from Cinda. Eventually, she came up with a plan for both success and revenge.

Shortly after her confession, she learns the entire party was a farce, and Alice’s violent outburst was orchestrated. Even Charles was faking it, the stabbing and blood weren’t real. It was all an act to get Kreps and Poppy to confess. And with that, the two were arrested, and Season 2’s case was closed.
