Gawd, that scared the hell out of me.
My speculations concerning the episode + some questions:
Spoiler:
The girl who threw herself out of the apartment was Shion. She was probably visited by zombie-oni Mion and tried to escape through the window.
Did Oishi-san really say that Takano-san "was already dead" when Keiichi visited the warehouse, and that Mion's body was found in the mass burial mound? I listened to it twice but didn't quite catch it.
Now we have a good explanation for Rena's psycho moods in Onikakushi-hen. Merely a function of her detective abilities manifesting. At the very least she got away with no injuries in this act.
Rika-chan, Satoko-chan
Well we saw a preview of how Rika will die, but I hate to think of how the demon did away with Satoko....
Is Mion schizophrenic? Or did a demon take on Mion's form and do everything? I really don't want a supernatural explanation to all this, but if it is the work of humans, then it is all the more horrible.
Regarding Sushi-Y's commentary:

1) In the game, when Shion (in the cell) saw Mion, she called her "Onee" (big sis), so for those of you who's thinking about the whole twins swap theory, there's a clue.

We already know Mion is the older sister, but please...don't tell me they are triplets.

In the end, we learned that Mion has been found at the bottom of the well dead on the day that the police saved Keiichi and Shion

I guess I could explain both Keiichi's thumb torture and Shion's apparent suicide in the epilogue by way of mental hallucinations... Shion by virtue of amazing torture and Keiichi by parallel-universe medical history. But it isn't satisfying.
