* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The person that slipped Bill a food he's allergic to and bedazzled Mrs. Kremp's jacket, as [[TheReveal revealed by Adam]] before the guests leave, is the least likely suspect: [[spoiler:Murray. He first felt insulted by the guests saying he looked shabby, intentionally ruining the mystery as revenge, and then slipped Bill a crab cake (which he knew Bill would survive due to a past incident involving one) and bedazzled the jacket to save Beverly's night. Adam figured it out after Murray left to have a shower in the middle of the party, to clean off both bedazzle beads and the sweat from being far more active than he usually is]].
* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: Before the "murder" in the murder mystery party even happens, Murray gets bored and asks if Bill's stabbed him yet, where everyone can hear him. When Beverly and Adam reprimand him for spoiling part of the mystery, he says that at least they don't know it happens in the basement with an ice skate, ''still'' where everyone can hear him. [[spoiler:This was intentional, since the guests mocked him and he wanted to ruin their fun.]]
