A brief summary of the new chapters:

Chapter 4

Gabriella falling to the ground unconscious wasn't part of the script. While initially it was thought to be a scheme from one of the presents, it just happened that Murasaki took some medicine made by Paracelsus because she was really tired, with the effect of her falling asleep until she was rested. The script is unfinished, but Andersen and Shakespeare decline finishing it out of respect for a fellow writer. They suggest, however, that the cast can finish it by acting according to their characters' role and motivations, reaching a plausible ending. The story will be continued from when Murasaki collapsed, as if her character was actually poisoned.

Chapter 5

Back to the movie, Gabriella is in a delicate state. She seems to have been poisoned when she drank from the glass of wine. Also, it is revealed that Isidoro isn't a travelling musician, but a detective, with Adriana as his assistant. They were hired by Miguel before he passed away to investigate in case something were to happen (Salazar wasn't aware of this, it seems).

Elise points out that the culprit may be after the Cortés' inheritance, to which Roma agrees it's possible. They may be after it not to gain it but so nobody can reclaim it, though.

Elise is uneasy about getting poisoned, so Salazar offers himself to taste the food he prepares before everyone's eyes. Vargas isn't satisfied and prefers to be given preserved food (although it can be poisoned too according to Adriana) or he will procure it. García boasts about being able to detect poison just by smelling, and suddenly picks up a strange smell.

Back in the hall, there is a painting of Miguel and Gabriella. What García smelled was fresh paint. Salazar states that the painting was finished when Miguel was alive, so it was recently modified, although he can't tell which part was. Roma then realizes that Gabriella might have been poisoned by ingestion of the heavy metals present in the paint.

Isidoro says that whoever altered the painting, should have the paints and be able to extract the heavy metals to make the poison. When he demands for the people who have those paints, no one responds, so he determines that the criminal must be among them (well, this was kinda obvious).
