Though now we're getting off topic from the thread topic - This chapter. The topic is this chapter and the potential implications of what has happened in it for later chapters and next Volume. :P I don't see them holding off on introducing Salem to the Atlas field until after the chaos is concluded. Again, this seems like the ideal time when it looks like the heroes are on the cusp of victory. We can't really expect them to drag out the Watts-Ironwood fight or the Qrow-Robyn-Clover-Tyrian fight. Both fights could be resolved in two episodes easily enough. Cinder and Neo are already on the move and they can't well have their fight dominate the last episode. Don't think it makes sense to have Salem not show up in the midst of the fight. Her arriving with Hazel, Emerald, and Mercury, would be like the major crushing blow to the resolve of the heroes. Plus, how can they pass up an opportunity to have all four members of WTCH together fighting?
