I remember that a TIP or some other person mentioned that it was just another Sonozaki Bluff™. They were not involved at all.

I remember someone saying that Satoko has to shot herself everyday with the vaccine, because she once reached L3 and that's why she behaved like a victim everytime. I'm guessing she went L4 or L5 once and pushed her parents... but I really don't know. Maybe Rika does know.

The mother appears to be unstable and committed suicide, possibly afraid of being spirited away after her husband's death.

Have you read Carl Sagan's
The Demon-Haunted World?
In one of the chapters, he mentions about some studies reflected that, on some small towns, the woman's death rate (by natural causes) went down before the town's festivities, and then raised after that. The town's oldest women were the ones in charge of the festivities, so it's concluded that they
postponed their deaths just enough for them to finish their tasks. So I'm ruling out the "
succumbed to stress" theory.
Who knows? Maybe The Hinamizawa Syndrome is at fault yet again?

It's clear that, he either killed her, or he watched the culprit kill her. I'm guessing he killed her, at least that's the most immediate conclusion from what I watched.

Well, I once thought of Hinamizawa as a hivemind, and Rika as the queen. Do you know what happens when the hive's queen dies? Uh-huh.
