Welp, that episode was more Jaune-centric for the first half.

-*Raises a glass* To the socially awkward indeed! But Ruby, do you realize that drinking somebody else's punch is akin to kissing them via an indirect method?

-Jaune finally gets the hint about Pyrrha. How is it, dude, that you have seven sisters, and yet still need to have a girl directly explain her feelings to you like they were on the tip of her spear?

-Neptune is actually NOT A WOMANIZING PRICK? As hard as it is to believe, he's just the kind to wear his attraction on his sleeve, and yet he actually seems to have something for Weiss. And yet he cannot dance. If that's his only flaw, someone slap him.

-Pyrrha looked brilliant. No more needs to be said. Sure, her dress could use a bit more textural detail, but she's got the understated side and why am I analyzing her dress? I've got less idea about fashion than a rock. All of you who were complaining that she didn't look good enough - looking good wasn't her point. As she said herself, people put her on a pedestal, and she just wanted to blend in.

-Blake, for a ninja, you cannot move very fluidly. Nor can Sun. But, you're happy, and I hope that everyone notices that. *Glares at the Bumblebee shippers*

-Ren needs a caffeine hit everywhere he goes. He had literally no clue what was going on until Nora dragged him into the team dance.

-Retcons ahoy! Everyone assumed Ren would teach Jaune to dance due to his clumsy nature. But, both Jaune and Nora are actually good dancers already, so it actually makes sense. Now, let's see Jaune transition his dance moves onto the battlefield as fluid motion.

-NOBODY DIED!

-Teachers had cameos, and really, considering it's a student-organized dance, I wouldn't want it any other way.

-Cinder's weapon appears to be Dust. No, not in the sense of the elemental variety, although she does use that a lot, but in the sense of the nature of it. Her weapons were created from dust by her body, so as we all assumed, she's basically fuzed with the stuff. Her weapon would take on whatever form she wants, with an explosive or flammable aspect to it.

-There's a Cinderella allusion in that final moments... I think something's going to go wrong. Two weeks until we find out!

Downsides:

-The key one here - Cinder's roof run. I understand WHY it was bad, and that's a logistical thing - she was supposed to be running on a slanted roof, but the mocap they use couldn't be done on a slant. Unfortunately, they didn't fix it in the logical way - moving Cinder back on the rooftop to stand on the reasonably level top edge like a gymnast. This is a low-light in an otherwise brilliant episode.
