Everybody tries to determine how Eva and Hideyoshi could have been killed when an odd smell begins to fill the mansion. Kanon goes to investigate the boiler room along with Kumasawa, but is mortally wounded in the process. The rest of the family and staff arrive and discover the dying Kanon, as well as Kinzo's partially incinerated body. They decide to retreat to Kinzo's study, which should be the safest room in the house. After they enter, however, a letter from Beatrice mysteriously appears. Since Genji, Nanjo, Kumasawa, or Maria are the only possible suspects for planting the letter, Natsuhi forces them to leave the study. Later that night, the phone rings with Maria singing on the other end. Natsuhi, Battler, George, and Jessica rush downstairs to find Genji, Nanjo, and Kumasawa murdered and Maria standing in the corner, still singing.

Eva is discovered by Rosa and leaves to discuss how Kinzo's gold should be divided among the siblings. The young Eva, however, refuses to share the gold and remains behind, declaring herself to be the head of the Ushiromiya family. Acknowledging the young Eva's achievement, Beatrice appears and dubs her the new "Beatrice", whom Battler deems to be an alter ego for the real Eva. Later, Eva falls ill, and Rosa takes a whining Maria outside to spare Eva from her tantrum. They are suddenly attacked by Eva-Beatrice, who repeatedly kills and resurrects them in bizarre ways. Beatrice takes pleasure in the scene, but ends up enraging Battler, who refuses to play with her any longer. Dejected, Beatrice confronts Eva-Beatrice and mercifully kills Rosa and Maria once and for all, ordering her successor to act more dignified and reasonable in the future.

Jessica and George are about to land their blows when Gaap teleports them into each other, killing both. Temporarily resurrected Jessica calls Battler to warn him. The hostages break out of Kuwadorian, but are killed off until only Kyrie remains. Kyrie calls Battler as well and tells him to believe in witches. Maria is sent off to take her test when Battler receives a call, this time from Beatrice, and goes to meet her, discovering Gohda and Kumasawa dead in the storehouse. Beatrice gives Battler his test: to remember a sin he committed, however, Battler is clueless as to what that may be, much to Beatrice's frustration, prompting her to take her anger out on Kinzo by killing him. Having lost her interest in the game, Beatrice decides to suspend it by deeming Battler unqualified, revealing that his birth mother was not Asumu as he had believed, and claiming that he is not Kinzo's grandson Questioning his own identity, Battler fades and Beatrice retires to the Golden Land with Maria.
