Dead End

The Atlas representatives in Argus have no intention of assisting Team RWBY. In fact, they're adamantly opposed to it. It's time to come up with a new solution... and it's time to tell Jaune, Nora, and Ren about Jinn.

"Dead End" is the seventy-fourth episode of RWBY and the eighth episode of Volume 6. It premiered for Rooster Teeth FIRST members on December 15th, 2018 and was made public on the Rooster Teeth site on December 22nd, 2018.

Summary
Team RWBY, Qrow, Oscar, and Maria are denied entry into the Atlesian Military base in Argus. The guards allow them to speak to their commanding officer, Caroline Cordovin, after inspecting Weiss. Cordovin, who has a bitter history with Maria, will only allow Weiss to enter, leaving the group stuck in Argus. Qrow goes off to drink his frustration away.

Back at the Arc family home, Team RWBY tells Jaune, Ren and Nora what they learned from the Relic of Knowledge, including that Salem cannot be killed. Jaune, thinking that Ozpin is posing as Oscar, takes his frustrations out on the young farm boy. Team JNR then decide its best to have some time to themselves.

Afterwards, Ruby attempts to call Qrow on her Scroll, only to receive no answer back. She then laments to Maria that she is letting everyone down. To cheer her up, Maria agrees to talk to Ruby about her Silver Eyes. Maria reveals that Silver Eyed Warriors are powered by strong desires to preserve life, and deduced from the vision showed by Jinn that they originated with the God of Light.

Yang, Weiss, and Blake return, telling Ruby and JNR that Oscar has gone missing.

Trivia

 * When Ruby mentions to Maria about freezing a Wyvern at the Fall of Beacon which is a comeback from "End of the Beginning" where she unintentionally uses her powers to freeze the Wyvern after she witnessed Pyrrha's death.
