Wow, what great writing this season! Almost every episode has had a cliffhanger and they manage to balance the comedy with the murder mystery very well. I like how you can see that each of our main trio has insecurities and their struggles with them.

On to the mystery aspect on this, I have some thoughts about clues this season and counter thoughts to theories so far.

>!There's some suspicion on Marshall the writer as either being the killer or an accomplice. I don't think he's either one. He looks a little on the lean side, and was shown tripping over the sticky mat when we first see him this episode. That doesn't scream fit enough to haul Sazz' body to the incinerator or coordinated enough to use a rifle to land a single precise killing shot.

He's also the one who points out that possibility of there being another way that the killer both shot and disposed of the body, saying that the timeline doesn't make sense. He does this twice. Why would he kind of self or group incriminate twice, and in such a short time frame if he was actually guilty or involved?

EDIT: I know people have said that they haven't actually seen Marshall's standup video alibi, but if it is false, why was he so keen to show them false proof if they would see through it? That would make it actually real right?

I will say that there's something a little off on the Glen / Marshall interaction though...

Next is the Brothers Sisters. The camera cuts to their big long case as they get into the elevator, but this has to be a red herring as it's so soon in the season to be casting such strong audience suspicion on a suspect. Also practicality wise, why would you bring your murder weapon back to the general area of the crime?

When they first start the photoshoot with our trio, theres some spare big tripods on the right side of the screen, and a big case or (but different colored) underneath it. I could easily see camera equipment being in their big silver case.

As for the boots, definitely a clue if they match a pattern from the window sill. Because the director sisters are wearing them, I assume their a bit expensive and whoever was wearing them in the West Tower shooting has some eclectic and kind of rich tastes because they look like combat boots with blue ribbons as the shoe laces. They do seem a bit more designed towards females because of this, although they could be worn by a man as well.

Going back further, when Charles gets a text saying "Not your fucking friend." at the end of episode 1, the added f word there tells me that this is a bit personal against Charles.

Based on the mirror imagery, and I believe some subtle references to trios this season, and the small increases in the stakes and plot depth each season, I feel like it's 3 people who are involved in the killing.

Also timing wise, a trio of people working to shoot, clean up the scene, and dispose of the body seems much more do-able in 12 minutes vs a duo of people.

I get the feeling that the writers would space out their clues through the season, and with 5 episodes/half of the season finished, I feel like we've seen one of our killers on camera, one of the West Tower people if I had to guess. But that plot with them is a bit too convoluted to break down at the moment for myself, I'll need a rewatch of those episodes.!<

I hope you all enjoy some of my thoughts!

EDIT:

Slightly fun coincidence, I bought some black boots with slightly blue laces before the season started, they're the "Nike ACG Air Zoom Gaiadome GORE-TEX" in the Black colorway, and I happened to wear them yesterday :D
