Okay, this was a big one from a back-story perspective and I'm probably going to need to come back a few times to enunciate all my thoughts. However:


 * 1) Both Bumblebee and Eclipse get a lot of hints and teases this week but I think that Eclipse gets out better because Sun actually makes Blake laugh;
 * 2) Ozpin RWBY's equivalent of Master Yoda is; am I the only one that thought his pithy wisdom with Ruby was foreshadowing? Someone who is going to be at the dance as a friend is going to be an enemy... and who should walk in immediately after but Mercury and Emerald!
 * 3) So... Summer, Qrow and the Xiao Longs were on a team together;
 * 4) Ruby and Yang live on the island of Patch; was I the only one who saw a meta-RT reference there?
 * 5) Yang was effectively raised by Summer; she only learnt of her biological mother after Summer's death;
 * 6) Red Like Roses Part II confirmed to be about Ruby and Summer (YANG: "She was really torn up about it but I think she was too young to really know what was going on");
 * 7) Given the sound when it activated (identical to Crescent Rose), Qrow's weapon is a High-Velocity Sniper Scythe and the two weapons may be very, very similar;
 * 8) I'm guessing Summer died about 12-13 years before the subjective present day.

Okay so, thoughts/predictions:


 * I'm betting that Ruby will dance with Emerald and the two will develop a cautious friendship (at least from Ruby's perspective). That will make it harder for her when she turns out to be a black hat;
 * I'm thinking that Yang's mother divorced her father; that's the only reasonable explanation to me for his relationship with Summer to have got to the point of them having a daughter all within probably a year or so of Yang's mother's departure;
 * Yang's mother may turn out to have some connection with Cinder; at the very least, I suspect she is either dead or a black hat.
