Jerry Blau seems to come out of nowhere in Episode 6 so having him be Dickie's biological father would allow him to play a larger role than just giving Oliver exposition that the audience already knows about.

* Likely jossed. Loretta never identifies Dicky's biological father (only that he was someone involved in auditioning and production), and Jerry mentions a male partner.

Sazz will in fact be severely injured/in a coma, and the season will derive tension from the trio having to find the culprit before they realize she's alive/it wasn't Charles (depending on who the intended target was), which will also give the show a chance to pull off something new to keep things fresh.

** Theo had a small apartment near train tracks in Season 2. Pressumedly, Teddy's apartment was seized after he was arrested. After all, he had some unexplained (i.E. the stolen jewelery) income.

[[WMG: Within the story of ''Death Rattle'', the Nanny is meant to be the primary RedHerring.]]
The last song of the musical starts with the detective seemingly incapacitated and the Nanny singing about her willingness to kill. This suggests that at this point in the story, the audience is meant to assume that she is the killer, until the truth is revealed. This makes a nice parallel with Loretta's role in the actual murder plot of the season.

[[WMG: Howard incapacitated Jonathan to steal his role.]]
Jonathan has apparently been self-medicating for his nerves, but he's been able to perform fine on every other occasion. Until opening night, when we don't see Jonathan passed out, but Howard simply tells Oliver that Jonathan isn't able to perform. This happened because Howard intervened, either directly through drugging or indirectly through psychological manipulation and caused him to be unable to get on stage. When Howard arrives in the dressing room, he's gleeful, with no concern for Jonathan at all. This is because he planned the whole situation to steal the lead role, and only his BeneathSuspicion nature stopped Oliver from giving it to him (and taking it himself).

[[WMG: In S4, Theo and Mabel will be living in Teddy's apartment full-time.]]
Mabel is crashing in Theo's apartment for now, presumably Teddy's apartment in the Arconia while he's in prison. She'll still be there in Season 4.

[[WMG: Teddy will be back this season.]]
Potentially as a suspect in Sazz's death, since he may be out of prison and out for revenge. But he'll be back in general.

[[WMG: Mabel will live with Charles.]]
Mabel is hyper-vigilant, while Charles is neither handy in a fight nor especially danger-conscious. Charles and Mabel will respond to Sazz's death by moving in together, so that Mabel can stand guard and keep an eye out if anything else happens.

[[WMG: Scott Bakula will appear in Season 4.]]

Joy is supposedly shacking up with Bakula now, and as a talented singer and actor it would make sense for him to appear in one of Oliver's musicals. He could be an AdamWesting rival to Charles and teased as a possible suspect a la Sting.

It was dark in Charles' apartment so it was easy for the killer to mistake Charles' stunt double Sazz for him.

[[WMG: Sazz was going to tell Charles that someone was after him.]]
Before leaving the afterparty, Sazz says she has to talk to Charles about a sensitive topic. Somehow she learned that someone is threatening to kill Charles. Also, the final shot of Season 3 shows her trying to write something in her own blood, possibly the killer's name.

Whether she's the "Moriarty" or not, Sazz is going to turn out to be bad. She is confirmed to be dating Jan since she broke up with Jan for Charles. She also mentions that she does hard things for Charles so he doesn't have to, and there are aspects of Charles's life he doesn't remember (like firing Ben). That's going to turn out to be Sazz, either trying to villainously "help" Charles, or as a PoisonousFriend.

[[WMG: Donna poisoned Ben, but Cliff pushed him down the elevator shaft.]]
The theme of Season 3 is mothers protecting children. Donna poisoning Ben fits with that, but the ultimate solution is the reverse. Ben figured out that Donna poisoned him, and told Cliff he'd ruin her. Cliff pushed him down the elevator shaft to stop that from happening.
