Actually, it is even more strange because an adoption doesn't make a girl a stepdaughter - which is even more strange if we consider that Shannon is supposed to be an orphan. Only re-marriage does and therefore it also needs a divorce first or that one of them died - in this case the wife of a man with a child would have had to die or divorce. This would also give questions about who was that man and his "ex-wife".
Maybe Kanon is a real child of that "maid" that would mean that the actually would indirectly really be brother and sister and not just because of "emotions".
However, this also gives another question: If Shannon is "furniture" wouldn't that mean that her "dad" and/or "mother" would have to be furniture too and that case I wonder why they even married. After all we learnt it doesn't seem that "furniture" marries or even feels love as long as it is still considered "furniture".
One other "question" (not related to the previous quote):
From what we now know is that Kinzo was already dead and that only 17 persons were on the island. So in Ep4 the "title" Kinzo was passed onto another person that was Kinzo then BUT that would also mean that this person would either have to be one of the other 16 because otherwise there would again be more than 17 persons which however would mean that the main question would be who the "children" would recognize/admit as the new heir. Most likely would be Klaus or another one of Kinzo's childs but that would make a huge amount of information wrong. Especially that Klaus and Kinzo or one of the other three were in the same room together BUT of course, that wasn't watched directly by Battler, so...
Klaus would still be the most likely person as he also met with Kinzo above. If it wouldn't be him but another person, Battler would have been there at the time the others were there, so Klaus meeting one of them in Kinzo's study would be strange.
That the new heir is one of the grandchildren: That would be possible but it would be strange to test all four of them. One of them would have to pretend to be tested - not impossible but kinda strange.
Of course, there is also the possibility that this person is a completely different person from all others but that would mean that at least one more person would have to be that from the beginning - or that that person doesn't even exist and is e.g. played by another person (as e.g. the Kanon = Shannon theory is suggesting) - because otherwise we would again have reached 18 persons and not 17.
However, if that is the case it is likely that this other person was dead from the beginning which would mean that an unknown person X would exist and could be responsible for ALL the killings in all episodes. Of course, it could also mean that in 3 of the four episodes there were only 16 persons on the island.
