During "Welcome to Beacon", Weiss lists off a set of 3 events as reasons why each of her teammates feel they are ready to kick ass against Roman and the White Fang. These are: Ruby's fight with Roman's henchman in episode 1, Blake's past with the White Fang, and...blowing up a nightclub, and obvious reference to the Yellow Trailer. This answers one question while bringing up several others.

First, it confirms beyond any doubt that the Yellow Trailer is not a future event. Whether it occurs prior to the start of the show or (admittely unlikely) between seasons is unclear, but given various theories and hints it's probably pre-ep 1. This means that Yang's search is either on hold for unknown reasons or halted entirely.

The bizarre part is that Weiss references the event despite not being present. This means that at some point either Yang or Ruby told her about what happened, but why? Was Yang enlisting help in her search? Was Ruby just cheerfully blabbing about an old story at some point? Why hasn't this been connected (on screen at least) with the gang Ruby encounter or any of the other strange happenings of Season 1. Why hasn't anyone tried to murder Yang for her blatant and easily identifiable attack of a major gang? Thoughs?
