Nice idea. I already want to see Ruby attending Yang's disciplinary hearing at Beacon and, at a key moment jumping to her feet and yelling: "Objection!" like Phoenix Wright.

WEISS: "You goof!"

RUBY: ((giggles)) "I've always wanted to do that!"

Yang won't be publicly cleared; Ozpin will smile and note that someone is always at their weakest when they do not realise that they have been detected. So, we go into the final two-parter with The Powers That Be suddenly aware that there is one and possibly two illusion-casters running around and thus Emerald and possibly Neo are digging themselves into a deeper and deeper hole.

Twist:

Cinder always had a back-up plan for this contingency and still manages to get most of what she wants. She either leaves Mercury and Emerald in jail without a blink so she can make her escape after taking down Pyrrha or they escape too but she tells them they're failures and sends them on their way (which might be hard for Merc who may be sans legs).
