I brought this up earlier, but everyone ignored it, unfortunately.
My idea was that Battler lost his Detective's Authority because he gave in to the witch after he found Shannon and George dead, thus losing the game.

Lambda even calls her an "extra character who appears for the first time this round". An alternate personality of somebody else/the collective family that took over for Battler?

What's also suspicious is that the person count is never stated in Ep5, when it's been stated and re-stated throughout Ep3 and 4.

It sounds reasonable to make her a roving detective ball in Episode 5 though, since she got red text to that effect.
On the subject of Episode 5, there was a similar "all other people" usage to pin down the people in the dining room at midnight. We can extract one of those and move them to the guesthouse under cover of Erika using the same method I described before.
EDIT:
I wonder if we can use Knox 3 to rule out people as culprits if we can figure out who Erika was standing in for when she took actions as the detective.

Doesn't Erika not have the Detective's Authority in Ep6 for whatever reason? That was the initial explanation for her being able to kill people that I heard...
