I am personally not a fan of Weiss taking back the company. I would support her more if she talked more about possible changes and how to implement them (and of course those changes being practical to implement). As of now her entire idea is the following: Dad makes morally gray choices, so I will fix them and make people like the Schnee name again. Not exactly a great business plan.

Granted we also don't know Whitley's business skills, but at least they gave some small hints that Whitley is investing some time in learning the company's workings. "Father is taking me to meet some of his business partners in town." That alone is more than Weiss has done so far in the serie for the SDC for the management part of being the heir to the company. She didn't do anything whilst she was enrolled in Beacon and she hasn't been leaving her room a lot in Atlas either apparently.

SomeBodyYouUsedToKnow's idea has merits and is probably how it's going to go down with Jacques trying to get Weiss back. Can't say I see much use for Jacques wanting his daughter back, but otherwise he wouldnt exactly be an antagonist for Weiss. It would be like Sauron not wanting his ring back.

Whitley and Jacques looked pretty happy on the family portrait though and Jacques has a lot of pictures of Whitley scattered around the mansion, so maybe they have a better son/father bond. Jacques feels similar to Tywin Lannister in the sense that they're pragmatic 'evil' and so long as you follow their general line of thinking and have the same goals they can be pretty decent fathers/business partners, bosses.

Of course if you're rebellious like Winter, Weiss and perhaps Willow (their mother) the results are less than ideal.
