Only Beatrice comes out of that scene unscathed and only because we know so little of her at this stage.
The way the characters acted in that tea scene diminishes the horror and sympathy we should feel of the deaths that have occurred and most definitely diminishes it for the deaths to come. I feel it cheapens the value of the tragedies we're suppose to see.
Without the tea scene, I'd give the ep an 8 or 9.

Shouldn't you infer from the tea party scene that the characters, other than Battler, may have been.. not real? As in, they weren't the people you would normally associate their appearance and names with.
In other words, if the characters in the tea party acted differently than you expected, would that not lead you to the conclusion that they aren't really those characters? Especially after how they all end up.
