I think Qrow is more likely to get Yang moving than Taiyang. As for tough love, it's still showing support/care and I don't see her doing that at all. If anything, I can see her as the type of person who would let Yang make the decision to see her. Qrow knows where Raven is and she spoke to Qrow about saving Yang, so for me it seems like she's opening the door for Yang to visit. In a way, Raven's already reached out by saving Yang's ass ... so now it's Yang's turn.

I agree about Qrow, but I figured he'd be off baby sitting Ruby & Co. on their journey. Plus, Taiyang's not really had a lot of screen time, so it'd be a great way to trot him out again. I could totally see Taiyang going from Mr. Mom to full on sports coach, barking at Yang to get off her ass, etc. Just to shock her out of her funk.

That too. I mean, he's now a character, there's no one else nearby to help Yang if both Ruby and Qrow are gone. Plus, I think it would be a good time for Taiyang and Yang to have a lengthy chat about Raven -- who she is, who she was, what happened that make her leave, etc. This could be what makes Yang go see her mom.
