My guess is that they're going to walk to a fishing village on the coast and then bum a lift from a boat there to Haven Harbour. Communications are so screwed up right now that it is unlikely that the normal air and sea connections are operational (espeically if there is a global emergency and everyone is buzy putting up shutters and not worrying about everyone else's problemes). tbh I'm kind of hoping most of next season will be sort of "filler-like" and involve the journey to Mistral, perhaps feature Yang either reconnecting with Blake or getting a ride to Atlas from Ironwood after Taiyang strong arms him into securing a prosthetic and bringing Weiss with her to look for Ruby in Mistral rather than just having everyone show up in Mistral and immediately beginning the search next season... I'd much rather next volume involve discovering and dealing with new harsh realities and come back to the current villains conflict in Season 5. The technical term is 'Breather', Filler is when it doesn't connect with the rest of the story and doesn't advance it in any meaningful way. Personally, I like breather and even sometimes filler episodes (as long as it's obvious it's filler and doesn't try to pass itself off as an actual episode), it's just the characters going through, having a sip of tea, sit by the campfire, talk about their crippling depression, work them out for now, then go to sleep. As long as there's one, it won't be a complete waste of time, I'd much like an episode like that with RNJR.

But I do agree, I want the investigation to happen sooner rather than later. I have a feeling it won't take many episodes to get to Mistral, and those episodes will at least have something on Weiss, Blake, and Yang's end.
