In regards to Ilia staying after Blake left, it's not like Blake told anyone in the White Fang why she was leaving. She didn't even tell Adam why. It was an in-the-moment decision that she made when Adam blew off her concern about the train's crew, and literally all she said to Adam was "Goodbye". No explanation, nothing. Adam and Ilia didn't know why Blake left. For them, it probably felt out of the blue. And Adam wasn't going to hunt her down. The lieutenant volunteered to, but Adam told him to forget it and said he was gonna go to Mistral.

I think it's still possible for Ilia to be redeemed, as Blake's comment of "Look ehere it's gotten you" seemed to really affect her.

Also, this episode's title seems to refer to Weiss and Yang's talk.
