Mabel deserves so much better.

The Big Picture Hulu's Only Murders in the Building is known for its impeccable ensemble cast, one comprised of talented character actors and very famous, big-named ones. While every actor is truly fantastic, the show is helmed by its three protagonists — Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. If you're thinking: hey, one of these doesn't belong — you'd be right.

Selena Gomez's Mabel Is the Straight Man in the 'Only Murders in the Building' Trio Mabel's character — emotionally complex or not — is indisputably necessary to the dynamic that is the Only Murders gang. Because of Mabel, Charles and Oliver have free rein to lean into their quirks: Oliver's almost narcissistic dramatics along with his deep love of dips, and Charles' anxieties, neuroses, and somewhat disproportionate view of his fame.

The three regroup to find Oliver destroying a key piece of evidence in an effort to protect Loretta, though he doesn't say as much. And that's where things fall apart — Oliver is yelling at Mabel and Charles, Charles is yelling at Oliver, Mabel is yelling at them both.

The biggest question that remains is what this emotional journey might mean for Mabel's arc going forward. What will the trio's dynamic look like now that Mabel has found her own voice? Episode 7 ends with Charles and Oliver making up after an excellent celebrity cameo by Matthew Broderick, and heading to Mabel's apartment to apologize. They knock on the door ready to recommit to the investigation, only to find that she has already moved out.
