So I'll reiterate mine, at least those I haven't wavered on (and aren't spoilers):

-Cinder and Neo won't show up until the stinger, or at least won't play a role in the main action.

-The climactic fight of this volume will be to get the Amity network online.

-In this climactic fight, whether it's that or something else, Ironwood, Winter, Penny, and all of the Ace-Ops will all be on the heroes' side, and Robyn will be, if not an enemy, at least an obstacle. Between now and then, there will be a period where it will look like this won't be the case, likely in the form of a mini-arc where the heroes side with Robyn against Ironwood and/or a schism in the Ace-Ops. None of these characters will die before then, although some, Robyn and the Ace-Ops especially, might die in the last few episodes.

Two predictions that may or may not come true this volume, but I'm fairly sure they will come true:

-Penny will be "killed," and her core will be endangered, with the heroes forced to protect it.

-Ruby or Qrow will use the last question to ask about Summer. --A likely scenario, although enough of a longshot for me to separate it out: Ruby needs to summon Jinn for some reason pertaining to the mechanics of the Staff, and as foreshadowed by the V6 finale, needs a question to do so. (Less likely scenario: Qrow falls off the wagon really, really hard.)
