Depending on how things play out for Vol 3, Blake could easily set herself up for failure because of outside forces. Roman knows who she is and "what she's done" so what's to stop him from telling Ironwood the next time he's being interrorgated? For all we know his capture could be intentional on Cinder's end so they can get rid of Ironwood from the inside. If Adam does show up and knows that Blake is at Beacon he could either plant doubts in her team's head. Espically with Weiss. Just because Weiss is willing to put the effort in trusting an ex-White Fang member it doesn't mean she has completly forgiven the White Fang for terrorizing her family. If she were to discover more of Blake's secrets from Adam she could run the risk relapsing back into her vol 1 self. Not sure about her reverting to her old self. I think the outcome could be far worse if Blake did something to someone Weiss cares about deeply. Granted, my opinion of Weiss is that she was never really racist and is actually really nice. She just closes herself off to others by making a show of hostility that is not exactly sincere. Her attitude towards the White Fang is mostly bluster borne of her own fear. When I imagine a scenario like I mentioned with Blake, the plausible outcome is Weiss falling apart because she is unable to handle it.
