Ultimately, Loretta cannot watch Dickie being arrested and decides to confess. She admits to killing Ben and explains she poisoned him on opening night. However, when Ben survived, Loretta pushed him down the elevator shaft, killing the famous actor. Oliver tries to plead with the police, but Loretta is arrested and taken into custody.

The episode’s ending implies that the handkerchief is the same one Ben was holding when he died, and it was sold Dickie by Uma. Thus, the episode’s ending strongly suggests that the unsuspecting Dickie may have killed Ben.
