As for the whole evil Kyrie thing... Will already said he won't accept culprits without any hints and foreshadowings concerning the motive because instead of a mystery story this would simply be one of the numerous fantasies around the closed cat box called Rokkenjima.

And we ourselves as players can think of as much possibilities as we want, so this can not be seen as the aim of the whole game and I think scattering all illusions and making this a proper mystery story in the end was the anticipated result all along, the chiru-kanji in the title of the 'answer' arcs (or scattering arcs, so to speak) already indiciated this from EP5 on... not to mention that we are supposed to be able to solve the mystery after EP4...

Apart from that... as always, right? New answers, new questions, strengthened theories, discarded theories... Same old Umineko. Not my favorite Episode though. The beginning with Will's deduction and the description trick and of course the tea party were neat, but the whole Lion/Yasu/Shanon/Beato-background was a bit drawn-out IMO. Confirmation of certain aspects was needed and welcome, but some of the drama was a bit tedious (even though it's kind of ridiculous to mention this now after all those episodes...).
