At least we know why Winter wasn't at the concert. She ran away.

Jacques engages in poor reasoning. And I wonder if the slap was out of Weiss' defiance or because she reminded him that he's an outsider to the name he claims to uphold. Probably both. With behaviour like this no wonder Mama Schnee looks miserable. I also wonder how Jacques keeps a huntress trapped. Eh, he'll have security.

So while Whitley probably isn't going to be a villain, he most definitely is a wanker. Also he's not good at faking sincerity.

Fight was good. I did raise some eyebrows at Qrow and Tyrian's behaviour but I'll let it slide on stylistic purposes (same reason many shows have firefights as unrealistically close range).

Qrow can fight with his fists. Nice.

Profanity and injury increases. RWBY grows up a bit.

Soul-binding between Oscar and Ozpin? Not unprecedented - Amber and Pyrrha were doing that transfer thing technologically after all.

I wonder how Salem takes failure. Judging by Tyrian's self-assuring statements, probably not well. I wonder if Watts will gloat.

Also both Qrow and Tyrian engaged in some impressive fighting after their aura broke.

No Yang this episode either. I expected to see some, though we did get to see Oscar and Ozpin. Maybe next time.
