In Episode 6, titled ‘Cotton-Revealing Chapter, Part 3,’ Mion killed Satoko behind the school playground after realizing she is the one to control the curse.

She then asked the same from Mayor Kimiyoshi, the other head of the three most powerful family members, and killed him.
Later after killing Rika, Mion took Keiichi to her house. She noticed Satoko at the gate through the surveillance camera and went to talk to her. After Satoko killed Mion on learning about the truth, she shot herself in the head.

Episode 7 Preview & Speculation
Once we know it’s Satoko’s fault, everything can be explained, like how Satoko got a gun and how she learned how to use it.
Although the next arc hasn’t been aired yet, we know Satoko will take advantage of Teppei’s changes to have him think Keiichi hurt her, which is why Teppei attacks him.
Moreover, in the next arc, Oishi will be the one who gets injected and goes crazy. Sure, we’ll see more details, but that’s clearly what happens based on previous seasons.
The next episode will mark the onset of the answer arc, and we hope to finally have some interesting answers to all the ongoing tragedies in the city of Hinamizawa.

Episode 6 Recap
On the night of June 19, 1983, Mion takes her grandmother to a dungeon and confronts her for using her power to control the curse as head of one of the three families. Soon she realizes that her grandmother is dead.
She then calls another head of the three families and tricks him into coming over. Mion threatens Mayor Kimiyoshi and asks him for the truth, but she ends up killing him in the process of interrogation.
She then realizes that Grandpa Kimiyoshi was also not the one controlling the curse. So this now leaves only one of the three head families.
The following day at school, Mion overhears Keiichi’s conversation with Rika. On watching Rika’s personality change, Mion is sure that Rika is currently controlling Oyashiro-sama’s curse.
After Keiichi leaves, Mion takes Rika to the back of the school and chokes her to death. Later in the class, the teacher notices that Rika is missing and asks everyone if they know anything. Mion puts on an act and says she saw Rika talking to a construction worker behind the school.
When the whole school searches for Rika, Mion carries her dead body and drops her into the toilet. Later that day, Mion calls Keiichi and asks him to come over. While the police search in the school, Satoko hopes for them to find Rika, as her disappearance would be alarming for her.
Mion takes Keiichi to her house when a nearby undercovered police officer sees this and reports to Ooishi. Ooishi asks him to continue the surveillance on Sonozaki’s place. Mion takes Keiichi to the dungeon and locks him in the jail cell.
Through the surveillance camera, Mion notices Satoko at the gate and heads outside. Mion greets Satoko at the gate and takes her inside. Satoko asks her where Rika is but Mion instead asks who’s in charge of the curse.
Mion threatens her with a pistol and is about to press the trigger when Satoko takes out her pistol and shoots at Mion. She then shoots herself in the head after saying she’ll see Rika again soon.
