Field Trip

Field Trip is the twenty-fourth episode of RWBY, which will premiere on the Rooster Teeth website on September 25th, 2014.

Summary
Following the incident in the Cross Continental Transmit, Atlas' James Ironwood argues with Glynda Goodwitch about the actions to be taken, seeing the lack of concern as disturbing. Ozpin interrupts their argument to welcome Ruby Rose and, after seeing that she's unharmed after the encounter, allows her to add any more details to her eyewitness account. Here, Ruby describes the infiltrator as someone who "uses Dust embedded in her clothing" and she links her to Roman Torchwick and the White Fang. Although Ozpin saw those new details as insufficient to link the attacker to Torchwick, Ruby's mention of "a base in the southeast" interests him enough to allow Ruby to leave, but not before advicing Ruby to refrain from talking to anyone about the incident.

As Ruby returns to the dormitory, Ironwood and Goodwitch clash once more, with Glynda questioning Ironwood's resort to military might to any threat. Ozpin once more interrupts Glynda, but points out that the situation may extend beyond Beacon Academy and Vale, thus careful planning must be done first.

Meanwhile, Yang, Weiss and Blake cheer up Ruby after having a tense experience during the encounter. Yang then decides to break the ice by showing a package she received from her father, and to the surprise of everyone, especially to Blake, the package included a dog Ruby called Zwei, several cans of dog food, and a letter. As Blake cowers in a corner, both Ruby and Weiss fall in love with the dog. Yang, on the other hand, focuses on the letter, which tells Yang that her father will depart from the island and has left Zwei along with the things needed to take care of the dog.

Glynda later gathers the students of Mistral, Vale, Vacuo and Atlas for their first assignment in missions with a veteran Huntsman. After a speech from Ozpin, the students proceed to choose their missions. Weiss suggests a Grimm extermination mission for the team since it's on the southeast region, but finds out that the mission is unavailable for freshmen. Ozpin confirms this, but he also suggests that the team will find ways to get there inevitably, so he manages a way for Team RWBY to acquire the mission regardless. Although Ruby is overjoyed by the decision, Ozpin warns them that the mission will still depend on the team's efforts, and they can be brought back to Beacon as soon as the Huntsman assigned to them saw them unfit to proceed further.

Team RWBY did not take Ozpin's advice positively, although Ruby tries to be optimistic about their mission. To make things worse however, Team CFVY return to Beacon one week earlier than scheduled after seemingly failing their mission. Seeing the progress of another team worsened the morale of the team, but Ruby once more lifted their spirits, hoping that the Huntsman assigned to them would lead them to success. To their surprise, that very Huntsman is the quirky Bartholomew Oobleck.
