... I'm not sure if we're watching the same show.

1) Ruby's incident was when she had Glynda by her side. She's Ozpin's aide and Ruby happened to be Qrow's niece, so it's natural that he wants to see her. 'Team RWBY' hasn't even yet existed at this point; like may I laugh like what?

2) So he debriefed Blake. Why not? His students are involved with a Dust robbery incident who Glynda herself was pursuing, add in White Fang, a terrorist/radical as the suspect, and Blake turning out to be the Faunu 'who happen to be at the right place at the right time'; What's so strange about him wanting to debrief her personally? You substitute them with Team CFVY and I believe Ozpin will still debrief them personally, although this cannot be proved.

3) "He said he receives information from the military" "So he knew about the theft". Unless you can pull me a quote right now where he specifically says he knows about the theft, then you're totally just pulling that out of a black hole. Those 2 statements can totally be mutually exclusive. Ironwood himself did not seem to know about the 'theft', though considering that he was mentioned at the Afterbuzz interview to be an accomplice, which meant he quite possible lent Cinder the Paladins, then your claim is complete bull since Ironwood absolutely has no reason to tell Ozpin that. Even if he's innocent, I do not find a concrete reason thus far that he would reveal a theft of the latest military prototype at Atlas to a sworn Huntsman of Vytal, no matter how close they are.

I did not remember even once where the Atlesian Paladin was ever mentioned to be stolen until Roman himself announced it to the White Fang crowd. And you're actually saying you totally did not assume all of this stuff up.

4) What Ozpin will learn from Glynda is 'I almost caught that thief Roman, but a mysterious Fire Dust Huntress stopped me long enough to get away'. Unless you're assuming that Glynda knows Cinder, and thus told Ozpin that Cinder had stopped her, which mind you is an assumption, then Ozpin has no way to confirm at all that it was Cinder who's in cahoots with Roman. And if Glynda doesn't know, then at most Ozpin can only have a faint suspicion about this mysterious Fire Dust Huntress' identity. In the end, there is just no way he can confirm it at the point. Cinder's face was shrouded in darkness for a reason, and that is to make clear that Glynda and Ruby cannot make certain of Cinder's identity at that point.

Point. Suspect, sure, if he even knows that it was Cinder plotting against him. Confirm? Until future episodes say anything about it, I'm going to assume that he's just human and the answer is not yet.

5) Again with your assumptions. You're assuming that Qrow knows that Cinder is either the Queen or one of the Pawns and told Ozpin about it. If that was the case I don't see why bother with the cryptic message and just give Ozpin a list of suspects right there and then. Sure, we can say it's for secrecy purpose, but the possibility that Qrow doesn't know who are the Pawns are equally true.

6) Looking at RWBY's history thus far? Hell yes, the possibility they might just skip past that part is totally true. Basic storytelling 101, if someone somehow gets stranded atop the back of a flying Nevermore, tell the audience how they came to be there in the first place, right?

Not to mention that Black and White was the end of Volume 1, so it's entirely plausible that they decided to skip past that part entirely and focus on the present. I do not think that showing Team RWBY being 'grounded' warrants a flashback. Of course you can say, 'but can't they just squeeze in a few lines and let Yang complain about them for example?' Of course they can! Except that it is entirely possible that RT are just made up by a bunch of humans, and they didn't think about it at the time. For all we know Blake was subjected to a thousand nights of torture where Glynda whipped and candled her arse to obedience. It seriously isn't anything important. At all.
