Who killed Bunny Folger?
The main mystery of season two was that of Bunny Folger, who was stabbed with a knife before stumbling into Mabel’s apartment with her stab wounds replaced by a knitting needle, managing to whisper "14 Savage" to her before succumbing to her injuries. The true killer continued to set up Mabel, Charles and Oliver, hiding the knife in Charles’ apartment and attempting to set the trio up for Bunny’s demise.

However, thanks to some sleuthing and a frankly genius 'killer reveal party,' in which Mabel’s former flame Alice was accused of committing the crime for 'art', it was revealed that it was actually Cinda Canning’s assistant, Poppy White, who was behind the murder.
Poppy AKA Becky was the killer
Poppy was previously known as Becky, and was the subject of Cinda’s first podcast All is Not Okay in Oklahoma after creating a mystery surrounding her apparent disappearance with the help of a dodgy police officer, Krepps, before taking it to Cinda. As for Bunny’s final words? She was referring to the unusual number order that Becky ordered from their local restaurant when they met - which she ordered once again while meeting with Charles, Oliver and Mabel.

Who was Glitter Guy?
In the show, the trio plant a glitter bomb in a bin disguised as evidence to be picked up so that it would mark their main suspect. While a masked man does indeed fall for the trap, it turns out to be Krepps, the officer helping Poppy/Becky with framing Mabel, Oliver and Charles for the murder. He and Poppy are in love, and decided to take part in the scheme for fame and money.
It was Officer Krepps all along!
What happens in the last moments of season three?
A year following solving the crime, it is opening night of Oliver’s new show, with Paul Rudd starring as Ben Glenroy, an actor who has some serious bad blood with Charles. Although we don’t know what has happened yet, the pair exchange terse words on stage, with Charles warning Ben to "stay away from her".
