Other than the very end, exactly what I was hoping for progression wise.

The hindsight of Ren's apron. Do nothing to the cook... do nothing with the cook XD! Anyhow, I like how the chapter shows the difference between JNPR and RWBY. They definitly seem to have less of a complete team dynamic and definitly feel more split between the partner groups. Which I think makes sense considering how Jaune needs the separate training. Hope the JNPR works on that as the series goes on.

I REALLY liked the team dynamic for RWBY. Faithful sister. Weiss being faithful, but hiding it behind a logical standpoint. Blake wanting to believe, but fearing her previous run in with a similar situation.

Velvet was interesting. I like how they worked her photography in a light that Ruby thinks is bad. However, I noticed Sun's gunchucks were clearly visible. It is noted she's supposed to be a mage type fighter. I wonder if her pictures work to store information on weapons, and she can then produce them using her camera or something. As a rabbit faunus, maybe she's a bit of a play on a magician with a magic box?!

Didn't like Mercury showing up. Being at the arena is the OPPOSITE of laying low. Makes me wonder if he's actually an illusion to further falsify Ruby's team. I disagree with people thinking she can't escape. Unless someone else cuts her off, I'd assume Ruby's semblance would help with running away. All she should have to do is go point out that Emerald is even present. Since it seems like it was commonly stated her team left.
