The four-episode streak served several purposes:

1. Make Jaune more like a hunter, less like Jar Jar Binks.

2. Open up for more exposition and world-building

3. Settle things within JNPR going forward.

JNPR can now continue on its own in the background and it would be fair to say that Jaune will continue to improve, and the rest of the team will stay relatively the same, with maybe a level of badass if they're left out of the picture for long periods of time.

I still think that the next two episodes will be more about big-picture conflicts, with some of Blake thrown in, as she's currently drawing the short straw for character development face time. Yang had plenty of face time all the way through to ep.8 and has no outstanding conflicts.
