Well that was a pretty nice episode in my opinion.

I love how Victorique wrapped up the mystery behind the "Coco Rose murder". It's sad that a lot of innocent people had to die, though. For some reason, seeing Coco and her son alive at the end actually made me happy. I don't know. I just didn't get that ticked off feeling. (I feel especially bad for the maid, though. She had to give up her life for Coco to survive. :|)

Oh. And two Brian:s ftw.

Probably the best ep so far.

Great twist there. The exposition of the truth was well-told by Victorique and revealed the secret in the right time. lol

But what amazed me is the Twin Roscoes. :D

Wait, so Coco and her son are still alive right? I assume they were on the ride back with Victorique and Kujo?

Too many confusing things in this episode. So in the end, Coco her half African-half Saubere is still alive? And the one who died is the maid and Nicole who acted as her??

I like the concept of linking one arc to another (Leviathan Arc and Coco Rose Arc) like this~ Make it worth watching.

Two Brians are too much for me to handle =)

What a mindfuck this episode was.
The case was definitely the best so far, and the fact that Coco and her son were alive was a shock... and that they just happened to run into Kujo and Victorique.
Two Roscoes? Wait, what, huh!? Is this again one of his magic tricks or what the hell does this mean? D=

I got so confused so I rewatched the end. LOL I'm glad Coco's still alive and has a happy ending with her son. xD But wow, I feel bad for the maid. That is one hell of a nice maid.

Yep, this is definitely the best case out of all of them. XD

I don't think the double roscoe thing is actual magic, given the theme of illusions and science.

It was either a trick, or there are actually two of him. In fact, that would explain some things. It would explain how he can move around so quickly, like at the Beelzebub's skull.

Wait, I was actually right about the queen being switched and that she was still alive?! But what was with the resemblance with the lady in the carriage to Coco? That couldn't have been the queen because wouldn't the boy be younger than the man in the carriage...

Now there are two Brians? I can't keep up with this amount of look alikes and doubles.

Also, technically this case isn't solved yet because Nicole's murderer still hasn't been found.

Wow that was very surprising, for me in the end when we found out the truths, it was sad since the maid died, sounds like they were best friends the maid and queen but also that the queen was still alive and living happily with her son, although i know how some might think thats not right since she cheated on the king. ( Anime logic, there were so many similar queen lookalikes, now the possibilities in real life of that happening in that century is very small)

This episode was a mindfuck O.O when they first hit me with how the queen was pregnant with the levianthans baby, and then! they smash me with another bombshell how shes still alive+2 roscoes, craycray

Great episode with many little twists (both inside the case and outside).

So there really is two of Brian... I wonder if they are just twins or somehow the same person. It's a bit ridiculous though that they never shown both of them at the same time just to show us this twist, which seems stupid :/

The Nicole and Coco switch was obvious (though not that early in 1900) and I expected that man to be the king himself, but I didn't expect the maid twist, nice one. (Though it seems too much of a coincidence that they just happened to meet them :P And that the maid also looked just like Coco...)

What? The Queen is still alive? Holy, I didn't expect that at all. It's nice to know that someone from that era is still alive.

I agree with RazielZero, it was a stretch that the maid just happened to like Coco. And there are two Brians? So I guess identical twins are a thing in the Gosick world.

This episode enlightened me and pissed me off at the same time.. I had a hunch about how Coco really died and who the culprit is, but after hearing Victorique's detailed explanation about it and after seeing Coco, the bitchiest and the sluttiest queen in all medieval anime, having been alive and was living her sinful and disgusting life together with her bastard son.. that made me rage... really.. I was raging like hell. After hearing that the King beheaded that ntr'ing slut of a queen I was like: "Yeah King! you're the man! the bitch deserved it!" but then she was alive.. and she's happy.. and there goes the King, looking like he's the saddest man on earth with no love life whatsoever.. he has nothing to comfort him at cold nights beside his right hand.. not to mention hes still feeling a bit guilty for he thought he really did kill Coco..... That's just sad.. man, I feel for him.

Continuation (yeah baby! I won't stop, I feel so disappointed and frustrated right now): I hate NTR in general but what really made me rant this hard is because the King got NTR'ed like the pitiful office-working husbands in hentai doujins.. Coco X Leviathan has no depth! it was not shown nor explained why Coco spread her legs for Leviathan.. why did she love him so much? because of the gold? or what? Leviathan raped Coco once? and the bitch was all like " Oh my damn God you're way bigger than my husband, I will give birth to your child.. kyaa~". like a typical ntr hentai?.. damn how annoying..

and one more thing.. that poor maid :( who would've thought that her God-given gift of having a pretty face just like the Queen would be put to use by her being a sacrifice to save that adulterous Queen's hide..

I hope Coco dies... soon...

There are some really good twists in this episode though there are some plotholes and plot inconsistencies it was ok.

But dont you find it stupid how the king cant even tell the difference between his wife and their maid. Well at least coco rose and her son is alive.

Wow, talk about a scandalous affair O_O. So the queen cheated on the king with Leviathan and got pregnant and gave birth to an interracial bastard child. Then she switched places with the maid and the king killed the maid whom he thought was the queen when he found out about everything? Crazy man, just crazy.

Plus the king was at the play with Jupiter and I felt sorry for him having to see the events be retold on stage. The guy just can't catch a break.

Then the queen is still alive with her son and it pisses me off that she didn't get any repercussions for her actions. I mean because of her Leviathan died, her maid died, Nicole got decapitated, her other son died, and the king got cuckolded. Yet she's all smiles and peppy like nothing happened.


True shit.

So Coco and the king are both still alive. I wonder if they'll find themselves reunited some day.

One thing I didn't understand: the king came in and decapitated Nicole, then carried her head out in that huge ass crown? Okay, but how did he decapitate her to begin with? You can't just, like... rip someone's head off. The king looked too scrawny for that.

I felt sorry for the king at the end considering how miserable he looked. There was no explanation for why Coco even cheated on him with Leviathan. There was no implications that he was a bad husband, mistreated her, drove her away, or anything like that. It's like she just went for Leviathan because she wanted to try some BBC or something, like shit. Then at the end when she acts like Leviathan was her true love... wtf? The worst part was when he acted towards the end how the play was a testament of their love. I mean, the poor schmuck of a king has to live with the idea that he killed his love in a fit of rage, clearly still loves Coco and misses her dearly, and Coco can only think about how much she misses Leviathan and cherishes her illegitimate son.

This was a good mystery and pretty thrilling episode overall. I really didn't expect anything that happened in the last quarter of the episode.

Doubles! Doubles everywhere!
That ending with Brian Roscoe and Brian Roscoe and Cordelia made me burst out laughing xD
Yeah, he really is a scammer :P
I can already see the threesome doujin... :/

Well, the crime didn't go as I thought it would, but in the end, the mastermind behind it was Jupiter. That King is a double murderer and he was watching that play casually. What a bitch.

I found it cute how they showed us that the Queen was still alive with her son, wandering around the country.

From my anime experiance, a chrismas episode is always a springboard to darker shit...

Almost wrote a long post about there being a huge plot hole here. I thought the anime was explaining that Leviathan was Coco's son. I was like wtf thats not even possible. Took a long time to realize that "Leviathan was the father of Coco's child" was what was being explained.

Anyway, I already knew Brian Roscoe had a twin. There was a slight hint at his first appearance. Then, a few episodes ago, at one point it was very obvious he was in two places at once.

Very good episode, everything was wrapped up and it didn't feel rushed at all. Coco and her son survided after all, that was quite surprising also the fact that it's Leviathans son.

Victorique and Kujou holding hands was cute, I really apreciate it that she treated him properly during the last two episodes. Things will probably go back to normal within the next one, though.

Nice trick of Roscoe :D or has a actually a twin ?

Wow that plot twist at the end, in the carriage. The story was amazing, but the maid part felt somewhat forced, 1 double wasn't enough, apparently the maid was also there, though we knew about her from the beginning so it wasn't as forced as it could have been. And the king is still alive.

With 3 episodes left, this next arc is most likely the finale, so I'm really looking forward to it after this last one.
