At present, I'm thinking episode 7 will have the following features:


 * Ruby and Weiss introspection at their respective failures and fear the other has lost respect for them;


 * Nora and Ren walk through a forest path, Nora chatting away.  A Beobear lunges out and Nora smashes it back into the woods without breaking stride or conversational thread;


 * Pyrrha taking on a pack of Beowolves; when it is clear she is in danger, Jaune goes in and surprises the hell out of himself by taking out two before blowing the Alpha through a tree trunk by focussing his aura through a Dust parabolic projector in his shield.

They all arrive at the Temple, just in time to see Blake and Yang take down a couple of GrimBoars; there is a meeting between all the RWBY and JNPR pairs inside and a brief catch-up. When they have collected their artifacts and go outside, they find that the place has been surrounded by dozens of Grim including a huge avian (a 'Roc'). Roll end credits of episode 7.

Episode 8 will be an all-out throw-down battle between our heroes and a literal army of hellspawn. Every character gets to shine in their own and as pairs and the eventual teams. The climax is Ruby bringing down the Roc with precision rifle fire at its wing joints followed by Weiss finishing it off as it falls with a White Ending Strike. Blake congratulates them on their team-work and Pyrrha comments that they fight like they had been trained together (much to their surprise).

Then they rush off back to the cliffs, not wishing to push their luck. Roll end credits of Episode 8.

Episode 9/10 will be the return and the grading (everyone loses marks for ther varying faults and stupid stunts, about which Ozpin is merciless in his critique) followed by the official team announcements. RWBY and JNPR are far and away the first back and this earns them a bonus; they earn even more for their group tactics in the big fight. Weiss kicks Ruby in the ankles to shut the girl up before she admits they were more-or-less making it up as they went along on the basis of 'keep hitting and shooting shit until something breaks'.
