With this, we are basically getting 3 updates, this week. This could even be considered to be more, actually.
Somehow, this extra content instead of looking like afterward addition, look like it streamline the story more and make it more coherent instead of cluttering it, so, even if this was the point of it, kudos for a job well done.
About the content itself I like how it establish the book has a 3rd "will", the last wish of dying Quint. Could it be considered the true essence of the book?

Which is always full of distractions! I think someone needs to build 'murder board' with pictures, push pins, and yarn to lay out all the competing/co-operating factions involved here!

Was the "guest appearance" in frame 5 there all along, or was it retconned? I don't remember it, but it's small enough that I could have missed it. Not a retcon question, but how did burning Siphy's book-mummy form re-establish the bloodline ??

My guess is, Ozzid could detect her presence once she was out of the book. As long as she is alive (or some part of her is), then he is bound to her.

Everything felt connected before, but now those connections are smoother. I think the retcon was worth it. Thanks Pete!

It looked to me like Ozzid didn't detect the bloodline until she was burned and GONE.

I think that's more or less what happened, but it just took a little while for Ozzid to "wake up" and rematerialise. Take into account Siphy II was burned almost right after she was expelled out of the Book of E-Ville.

I added to the top post a link to the original strips. So it should make it easier to see exactly how things were changed.
I was going to add it sooner, but some other things got in the way. Also it's an Imgur link, which I hope is not a problem for viewing.
