tl;dr (too fucking tired)

I'll just say this: Given what Yang said about her mother, "left me", those being the only two words needing any focus, we were never meant to believe Yang's mother was dead. Contrarily, it was a very hammer-handed gut punch to let us know that would be seeing her mother down the line.

Then there's Summer: "went on a mission and never came back." Given that Grimm eat humans and leave no trace, Summer is to be assumed by the world of Remnant to be dead and we, the audience, are being given a rather familiar charliehorse to accept this as fact. We are meant to believe Summer is dead. But why give her name and fairly obvious appearance and importance? Personally, I don't believe RT will stick to some flashback BS. I do honestly believe Summer is the Obito Uchiha of this animation. In some way or fashion, she'll be back down the line. Given that I believe Raven is an ally, I'm sure Summer will be an enemy.
