I don't know, some of the plot in this episode seemed forced. Like, is Velvet stupid or something? You would think hearing about what happened with Coco and hearing what happened with Yang there would be a little lightbulb going off that these "battle illusions" are only happening around a certain team. Not as if this would be some sort of unthinkable ability in a world where people have the ability to clone themselves, shoot themselves around with pretty symbols, and move stuff with their minds.

Also, what is with Mercury and Emerald being in the stadium when they were telling people they went back to Haven? They were on live television over something widely reported around the world. Did they really think no one would notice? What was the point of telling Mercury to lay low if he was just gonna show up right after that anyway? Surely there hasn't been much time between Yang's match and Pyrrha's since RWBY were just told they were disqualified, so it seems he didn't do what Cinder told her or they just didn't care as much as the previous episode would suggest.

Only thing really interesting is when Blake spoke of Adam and talked about how she had begun to think he was right. It is pretty strongly implied she is talking about Adam killing people and beginning to think he was right would suggest she began to think killing people was okay. Personally, I like to think that she wasn't really talking about Adam that whole time or wasn't just talking about Adam. That would also make her doubting Yang even more credible.
