Spoiler:

I'm not sure what the coins do. They may be related to some sort of secret ending like some people speculate, but I really don't know. Regardless, I guessed through the entire puzzle and ended up with a measly 4 coins. I'll save you spoilers, but, you can still get a 'good end' even without 100% coins.

edit: Also, anyone can feel free to ask me a few questions (as long as they don't involve too much detail - I caught the gist of the episode but not much more). I'll try to verify/debunk any rumors you might have heard.

Did you get different endings with different combination of choices? I assume you don't get immediately ushered to a bad ending if you make enough mistakes?

Anyway summaries. Take the start of their arrival on Rokkenjima and Ange and Battler's Meta talk.

Spoiler for Summaries:

Rokkenjima October 4,1986
- Battler is puking on the ship as Ange and Maria make fun of him. The adults and the remaining children enjoy their trip saying that it's the first time everyone in the family came to the island complete. Kyrie says it's almost a miracle Ange suddenly got better and joined them.
- Maria and Ange continue to make fun of Battler as they arrive on the island.
- On arrival, Battler dives into the flower fields and the two younger girls argue who was first to get on the mansion grounds. George and Battler tease each other.
- Shannon tells Krauss and Natsuhi that the family has arrived. They order to to start preparing the rooms and the tea and tell Kinzo.
- Krauss goes to Kinzo's room and meets Nanjo. Inside is... uh... some form of Kinzo that's really not the Kinzo we know of. A more bizarre incarnation of sorts, though he's supposed to be dead, so this is itself questionable.
- Shannon helps Gohda prepare tea. He explains to her the concept of restaurant food's taste and customer preferences. Kumasawa says it is a servants duty to know what their masters like. Genji checks on them.
- A call comes telling Shannon and Kumasawa to lead the family, Gohda to finish the tea and Kanon to prepare the rooms.
- Kanon attends to the family. Krauss and Natsuhi greet them, saying it is fortunate Ange was able to come. Maria says magic helped Ange. Adults mention that Battler has grown in six years. The other kids say they were surprised on seeing him. They feel a bit of pity for what he had to go through. Everyone makes fun of his motion sickness.
- Rosa asks Ange and Maria to stop running around. Shannon brings in the tea. They gossip a bit about clothes and stuff.
- With the tea are halloween style cookies that fascinates Maria. She notices that the tea smells of pumpkins. Everyone compliments the tea.
- Crazy... uh... version of Kinzo arrives and wishes everyone a happy halloween. Trick or treat! The adults are embvarassed. Ange doesn't get it. He greets his grandkids. Ange hands Kinzo a gift from Kyrie. Genji tells Kinzo that he's acting like a kid. Kinzo apologizes for not having cake.
- Crazy Kinzo hands Maria a gift. He fawns over her as Genji gives up reminding him to act with dignity. The other kids hand Kinzo their presents.
- Battler greets him, and Kinzo is just ecstatic that he's back and embraces him. Ange is just confused.
- Narrator (Ange?) is confused that Crazy Kinzo is not the stern and angry Kinzo she had always heard of in previous games. Kinzo however shows a serious face when she presents her gift. At that point, he bursts into tears and exclaims that he's happy to have such wonderful grandkids. He's crying already.
- Ange finds this entire yearly tradition odd, especially all this gift giving. This isn't the family conference she knows. Gohda arrives to usher them for lunch.
- Shannon and Kanon will bring the presents to the rooms. The family sits in a less restrictive manner so conversations gowell. Everyone speaks freely and comfortably. Even Crazy Kinzo joins them. They're all happy it seems.
- They talk about the incoming bad weather and how Kinzo doesn't leave the island. He says he wants to live alone with his family because he is old. The children decide to go to the beach and the rose garden after eating. They'll have a contest on who can pick the most beautiful stone on the beach.
- The kids play on the beach. Ange is a bit down it seems and apart from the other cousins. Battler knows something is wrong but she doesn't want to talk about it.
- They return to the guest house as the clouds darken and the wind picks up. At the guesthouse Maria shows Rosa the stone she got. Jessica goes back to her room. George now notices that Ange is feeling down. He returns to the guesthouse. Battler seems tounderstand what is wrong with her. They both take a walk around the garden.
- They start their meta talk. Ange doesn't feel right with this happy setting, but Battler says this is indeed Rokkenjima on October 4, 1986. She is irritated by the fact that this Kinzo is a happy crazy person.
- Ange is in a fit about Kinzo's entire personality and temperament. He's supposed to be a severe, controlling and eccentric person. Battler suggests that this is probably the way outsiders view Kinzo (?), but in reality Kinzo is much different to his family (?).
- Battler suggests that the parents probably also propagated this sort of view on their grandfather. Ange feels scared. She claims to remember his as a scary person. She insists on what she knows.
- He admits that he still dabbled in the occult at times. He says that perhaps Ange doesn't really "remember"the truth. She refuses to believe it.
- She also refuses to believe that no one is discussing the inheritance. She remembers the bickering and the violent arguments. He explains what she seems to believe about the discussion. She asks if this will happen. He asks why she refuses to accept what she is experiencing now.
- She wants to know why he's showing her these things. She wants to know the truth of the game since the witches have been toying with them for so long. He says this is still his game, therefore it is his story. She calls bullshit. She insists he is lying to her.
- Battler's intentions here is to show Ange something more than a simple truth. He is still inheriting the game from Beato. He says he wants to show it to Ange, but she says she came here to know the truth and not some sweet fantasy.
- She throws a fit saying she'll find the truth herself. She doesn't want to lose anyone. She will act on her own and not necessarily with Battler.
