I kinda think the inside man is Roman. He's not altogether incompetent or actually stupid and he did seem to get caught on purpose.

I'm really interested to meet this teammate of Penny's, though most likely she's a throwaway present only to round out the number as Penny doesn't actually need a team.

I was actually relieved Qrow's scythe was holstered. It felt like they were just going to show us everything he and Winter could right there in the moment. Then we'd have very little left to wonder about them. I'm guessing we're gonna see two doubles rounds. Merc and Em are put up against CFVY. RWBY will probably be put up against either SSSN or JNPR, which will be a very cool fight to see that I think would work either way. JNPR's loss could start the inevitable JNPR arc for this season (Perhaps revolving around Ren and Nora). while SSSN being knocked out would mean Sun and Blake get plenty of downtime in the run-up to the inevitability of Adam's reveal to her. Whichever of those two teams doesn't fight RWBY will probably be put up against some other, unidentified doubles team while Sky and Russel are SHREDDED by Penny and her partner; thats at least how I want it to gi.

'Clever little friend' could refer to Roman pulling strings behind Ironwoods back. 'Heavy lifting' makes me think of Adam though. Anything considered heavy lifting is likely to be carried out by the White Fang, now under his control.
