After last week’s insane cliffhanger, Bev Melon (Molly Shannon) starts off “Adaptation” with a lot of explaining to do. Why was she caught in Sazz’s near-abandoned warehouse, brandishing a gun and threatening to blow the trio’s brains out? The answer, it turns out, is that this was all a misunderstanding.
When Charles (Steve Martin) asks outright if she killed Sazz, Melon answers, “I did not. But I think someone in the movie may have.” She explains how she was at a party for powerful women in Los Angeles during the time of Sazz’s death, and how Sazz had left her an ominous voicemail at 11:07 pm that same night. Sazz says in the voicemail, “You need to call me, okay? There’s a problem with your Only Murders movie. A big problem.”
Melon explains how she initially ignored the message because it was inconvenient for the movie production; once she found out Sazz had been killed, however, she started snooping around for clues that might help her avoid a potential production catastrophe. The scene ends with Melon telling the trio that she finds investigating boring, and has decided to leave the rest of it up to them.
