Today, we look at the Only Murders in the Building opening title Easter Egg for the finale of Season 2.
In Pop Culture Easter Eggs, I share with you pop culture “easter eggs.” An easter egg is a joke/visual gag/homage/in-joke that is hidden in works that you are meant to find (just like an easter egg). They range from the not-so-obscure to the really obscure. So come check ’em all out and enjoy!
The excellent Hulu TV series, Only Murders in the Building, created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman and starring Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, has a brilliant opening title sequence that include Easter Eggs hinting as to the plot of the episode in question.
Season 2 finishes today, so I’ll share the easter egg for each episode after it airs.
Obviously, SPOILERS AHEAD!
I KNOW WHO DID IT
This SEEMED like a simple one, jusdt celebratory fireworks for solving their second murder and saving the day, but reader GG pointed out that one of the fireworks blooms into a poppy, and the killer was….Poppy! Awesome! Thanks, GG!

Wrong! Look close at the last firwork to bloom – the little red one in the middle turns into…. a Poppy flower 😮
Good call, GG! I’ll amend.
