This season of Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building" had its share of dramatic high points, but one of the most memorable wasn't the killer reveal — it was a cleverly crafted number that playfully accuses three babies of murder. With lyrics like "a diaper full of criminal intent" delivered with flair by Steve Martin, the pattern number "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" is both a humorous nod to the campy allure of musical theater and a poignant subplot for Martin's character, fading star Charles Haden Savage.
The question was: Would Savage reclaim the spotlight with statements like, "What little kid made mommy splash?" or would he fade further into the eccentric world of Arconia life?
