Not sure what part you're talking about. Beatrice goes to pretty great lengths to illustrate her transition from heartless murderer to a person determined to atone for her sins. That artificial story arc lasts most of EP3. As for Virgilia's personality, her role is to get Battler to keep playing the game. Once she "revealed her true nature" at the end of EP3, there was no need to make her a sympathetic character again for a while.

How Beatrice decides to commit the crimes changes drastically in each episode. However, it's part of her character to do things on a whim, just for the hell of it. So that alone doesn't qualify as a plot hole as long as she can think of a plausible excuse.
