Why did Mercury just let Ruby go? That makes no sense, and at this point just seems to be plot contrivance to unravel the identity of the bad guys. You know how broken she is now? She alone could power up a Beowolf pack.

Also what are you talking about? "unravel the identity..." Vale is being ripped apart! There are Grimm at Beacon. The Atlesian army can't do anything. Two flagships are destroyed and one is piloted by Roman. What are you talking about?

Does it really look like it can be fixed by Ruby going to a police station and saying "Emerald and Mercury did it."

Also Mercury has probably already done more than enough illegal things to be wanted.
