I apologize, I was so caught up in the whole thing I forgot. I put it under a spoiler cut now.
Many apologies again.

Personally for me it doesn't look as something so shockingly surprising Ryukishi couldn't put it in a standard story format but well, as I haven't read it yet, I'll wait before giving a definitive judgement. After all I've apprecciated Umineko a lot more after reading the end of EP 8 than before when I just knew the summaries.
And I'm glad it confirmed some thories I had but really I'm sad about the motive or lack thereoff.
I'm unsatisfied with the one given in EP 7 so I was hoping for something more... -_-

You've a point. Maybe they caught him going to the bathroom and carefuly waited for him to come back. As they heard his steps they began making the discussion.
... though yes, it feels a little forced... like people not realizing that people are faking their dead or that they're dead for real...
