Okay, in order.

Mercury clearly isn't being honest with either himself or Emerald, and it seems Tyrian may have hit too close for home for him. Killing is all Mercury knows, and he has nowhere else he can go. He also isn't blind to how Cinder treated them. Hope he can practice what he preaches and wake up himself. What I'm kinda creeped out by is the fact Mercury says Marcus stole his semblance. How do you steal a semblance? And the fact Mercury says he never got it back, means this entire time, Mercury has been fighting without one. He's been pure skill.

Tyrian's new tail is a lot more intimidating, pure silver and dripping poison. Plus, he is still a treat to watch.

The Pyrrha Statue was a nice touch, and the entire scene with both the woman and Jaune, and later Ren and Nora was sweet. Something confusing though. The credits just list her as Red Haired Woman, and she just up and vanished when Ren and Nora showed up. I had thought she was Ms. Nikos, Pyrrha's mom, but why wasn't she credited as such? And why did she suddenly run off? Maybe this woman will show up again.

I like Oscar's new outfit. Some hints of Ozpin in it, but enough differences to make Oscar look like himself. I knew he wouldn't just run off after what he said to Hazel about being a huntsman. He's growing up faster than the rest of him.

Everyone's concern over Oscar was sweet. Nora, Ruby, and Jaune was to be expected, but I didn't think Weiss would also be so concerned about him. Another nice touch to show that despite their feelings on Ozpin, they all care about Oscar.

And Qrow is finally getting a wakeup call, from Ruby particularly. Hope he finally listens, cause if they're stealing an Atlesian Airship, they can't be dragging his drunk ass around.
