Well, here's the variant in particular for Ep1.
  • Both Kanon and Shannon actually lay claim to the title of Beatrice. It is immaterial if Kanon is a girl or not, pick whichever you feel more comfortable with.
  • Both Kanon and Shannon are actually in competition for Battler's love, rather than someone else's. Now that it is known that Battler is coming, they can go through with their respective plans.
  • Kanon has a Plan to make Battler solve the epitaph and rid Kanon of the impending title of the head that would otherwise fall on him because of Kinzo's wishes. He also sets up a contingency plan of the bomb in case he fails.
  • Shannon actually wants to prevent Battler from solving the epitaph as she is fed up with this whole Ushiromiya business, gold and associated strain, she'd rather elope. But it has to be Battler. She is the Beatrice that Maria knows about, and for the moment, plays along with Kanon.
  • In the morning, Kanon digs up the buried Kinzo, hides him on the premises and is now in the posession of the ring.
  • George is acting on Shannon's request and marks a rose with no provocation -- Shannon passes it off as an attempt to play happy a magic trick on Maria by replacing the rose later with a healthy one and saying Beatrice healed it with magic.
  • But instead, Maria is stuck in the garden alone, and gets the umbrella and the letter - written by Kanon.
  • Later on, tea is served to the adults in conference which contains a sleeping draught. They are hidden in the garden shed with Shannon to watch over them, and Kanon thinks all will be alright now and sets Kinzo's corpse on 'medium well done'.
  • But instead, Shannon kills the sleeping adults, seeing her chance to strike.
  • Hideyoshi witnesses Shannon's "body" in the shed. Shannon is actually sleeping and possibly covered in real blood and guts from her victims to make it look like she is also dead.
  • Later on, Shannon kills Hideyoshi as a witness and hides in the room, killing Eva as a witness to Hideyoshi's murder. Kanon, fearing that it must be Shannon who has betrayed him, rushes to cut the chain, but is too late. Resulting commotion prevents him from having a heart-to-heart talk with Shannon whom he knows is hiding there, so he doesn't give her away.
  • Asking Jessica for help in the first and only time in his life, with Jessica and Nanjo Kanon fakes his own death.
  • Further mess continues as Maria places the second letter on the table, unaware that the plan has been called off.
  • Shannon kills Genji, Kumasawa and Nanjo, leaving Maria alive.
  • Natsuhi, observing the whole mess, rushes out to see Kanon trying to shoot Shannon but accidentally, Kanon kills Natsuhi instead.
Something like that.
