I assumed that when Rudolph thought he was going to probably get killed tonight was that the siblings were planning to murder each other. The letter, just happened to be an excuse and could've made things easier.

Anyways, by Beatrice not saying that person 19 or person X exists can easily mean a normal human done t he murders. The process really doesn't matter as long as that 19th person exists, and is assumed that they're capable of doing anything since it isn't seen.

The 19th person has always been speculated, and with Beatrice refusing to comment on whether oen exists or not gives Battler a glimmer of hope. As long as Beatrice doesn't outright say "There are only 18 people on the island of Rokkenjima on October 4 and 5th, 1986." in red, Battler will be allowed to say that a 19th person not seen by the family members or servants did the murders.

The anime is being weak when it comes to the background of the characters. Shannon and George's death were much more depressing, especially with all the explanations on how George was definitely the kind big brother towards all the cousins.

Generally, the parents are at first talking about the inheritance. Then, once the letter is read to them, they debate whether Beatrice exists or not, and somehow come to the conclusion that Beatrice exists to steal the money and the family. However that works.

If they butcher the next 1-2 episodes, it'll be depressing. At least like..."

Okay, awesomeness ensues. CAUSE IT'S TOMOKAZU IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. -goes to check-
UM YEAH.

Anyway, I heard some awesome music :O Any VN fans know the piece that's playing during the second tea room scene?

And wut? So, Beato took her teacher's name or something? Why did she call her Beatrice if it's Virgilia o.O

No. In the first arc Maria got a letter to open at dinner that she read that was basically Beatrice taunting everyone and introducing the game. It's sealed with Kinzo's ring and that leads the first search. In the second arc, Beatrice gives Maria a letter, and Rosa a letter. Maria reads one letter at dinner, and the second letter actually has the key to whoever's room.

Ah. With so much crazy stuff going on, I find it hard to keep track of the little details like that.

Well, I was somewhat wrong also....I'm pretty good at retaining details, so if I get confused, it's a bit of a red flag.

At the beginning of this episode I was actually a little disappointed but then it quickly became super duper awesome. (I was kind of afraid after the last episode of the second arc.)

I really like how with each new arc, a little more is built upon the characters already existing relationships.

Anyway, good episode and actually a few new questions were raised, which was refreshing since it has been pretty straightforward in the past few episodes.

Yes, that part was rather awesome. Though, they can't leave in everything.

Young looking Kinzo shocked me.

New characters in it, and Beato isn't in the frame anymore. D:
Some girl who I don't even know is in it now.
Anyways Young Beato was so cute.

Wow, new characters started to show up. A butler from hell, lol. I guess this is really fantasy afterall. Also, Rosa admitted that she killed Beatrice? Hmm, something interesting going on in here.

In the tea party world, it seems to be that Battler is slowly winning since he cornered Beatrice in that 19th person theory. Wonder what's going to happen. So, Beatrice was also human before. Who was that other Beatrice when the other Beatrice was still a child? Omg so confusing, lol.

Good episode, the flashbacks were fairly interesting (especially the fact that Beatrice used to be a human) and it seems Battler has renewed vigor to win.

I'm now half way through this episode...

I'm so LOST! I have NO idea what's going on. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm no intellectual slouch, either...yet, I have little sense of the where, what, why or how of this story.

I haven't read any other posts for fear of spoilers, but I think I'm going to have to risk it, or quit the series. Maybe a few spoilers will help put me back on track with what's going on. We'll see.

New OP Cool!

And that girl who seems like Maria in portrait but it's not her I guess.
Also that new butler who showed up gave really important information about Beatrice. Now we know that Beatrice isn't witch that she was actually human who become golden witch somehow. Nice flashbacks and Beatrice looked so beautiful when she was young. was that Beatrice mother that repaired vase.

Eva has a twin? or is this some kind of illusion that Bernkastel or Beatrice is making up.

Battler is improving in questioning and solving puzzle. And now his theory I believe was right one. But Beatrice is not going to give up so easily. They really are both going to now win this game.

What was that Rosa said at end of episode OMG! Episode got really cool and it ended in cliffhanger. Now we are getting those answers finally!

The new opening was great because Bernkastel was on it.
The episode was good, I guess, Battler is getting smarter and bringing my hopes up for him to win and with that, of course , Bernkastel will win.

Ohh, new characters, and a flashback of some family members. I'm pretty sure Eva takes the gun this time.
