Have you ever heard the saying You're like a bad movie: Too predictable? Wouldn't it be bad storytelling too if it truly was Yang's mother? She hasn't got any development apart from her flashback about her mother and suddenly the mother appears? Sounds like a rush move in the writing if you ask me. Sure, they kept it in context, it was hinted, all good. But, they throw us the mother just like that? I thought Yang's motivation and even the purpose of her entire character in the plot was finding her mother. Now that she did.....

...Well, goodbye Yang. You reached your goal. You can stop being an important character while Ruby continues to chase her dream, Weiss keeps trying to make things right with her company and Blake keeps fighting for equality. That's the thing about Yang. Her only motivation and goal in the entire show is to the truth. If she meets her mother and if she tells Yang the whole truth (Yang, we have a lot to talk about...) then what was the point of showing the angst of not knowing the truth that Yang has to live with?
