If you think about it generally in terms of Beauty and The Beast then Adam is a beast because of his moral issues. The original story ends with Beauty's love returning The Beast to normal. Having a similar outcome, only with Adam pulling a heel-face turn as the resolution would be artful in its own way. I’m not saying that couldn’t work, but as far as I can tell Monty seems to be going out of his way to not let the characters inspirations heavily affect their fate within his story, so I’m wary to make predictions based on their counterparts, particularly with Sun in the picture who, as opposed to Gaston, parallels Adam instead of contrasting the Beast, by having the morals that Adam doesn’t in spite of being a faunus as well.

Yeah, I don't know if that means the writers ever intend for anything to happen with them or that Arkos is not end game, but there is no way the Jaune we heard gushing about Weiss a few episodes ago just got over it at the dance. Weiss herself is probably in a state where, if Neptune does anything Neptuney regarding another girl that see will be ripe for the pickings and Jaune's stoic gentlemanly concession to Neptune will make him a serious candidate for her affection. I suspect/hope, at the very least, the writers are trying to broaden Weiss’s list of friends that aren’t teammates, given that she has the smallest pool out of everyone of team RWBY. And by friends I mean actual friends that she would go out of her way to have a chat with, not people she tolerate because they share mutual friends, like say Sun. Whether they would take it further or not is up to them.
