And we know as well who the statue of the woman in the Haven grand hall is, just in the episode she doesn't have any clothes.

This episode was great. I love how Malachite (related to the Vale club twins?) said someone might be looking for Cinder, which is great setup for Neo's return.

Additionally, this volume took absolutely no time to get going. I'm remembering back in Volume 2 how the heroes spent the first two episodes having a food fight and playing board games. While it re-introduced the heroes and showed how Blake was acting strange and thus setting up their missions in town a la Mecha Fight, they were just kinda chilling and doing nothing greatly important. And in the first two episodes of Volume 3, all that happened was the introduction of Qrow and the tease of Winter.

In the first two episodes we already have:
 * Closure of Ilia and Sun's plot arcs (which should have happened at the end of V5, but it was rushed. This is the only time plot arcs have ended in a volume premiere)
 * Heroes are separated in the snow (RWBY/QO) and in Argus (JNR)
 * Cinder is alive and looking for the heroes, not going back to Salem
 * Adam also has a vendetta with the heroes, namely Blake
 * Spy-der house is everywhere (always watching you, Wazowski)
 * The Relic, Jinn and the beginning of distrusting Ozpin, which will lead into Oz backstory.
 * Salem backstory (or at least the beginning of it)

Also, "The Girl in the Tower" was one of Pyrrha's favorite fairy tales, just like "The Shallow Sea", both of which have been explained in the show now. Salem alludes to Rapunzel/Fiona from Shrek (I know, just Rapunzel.)
