 * Ruby's sadness for Summer's death was never even mentioned until this Volume.


 * Jaune's lack of training despite coming from a family of warriors is still a mystery.

1- Notice RLR part II playing in Players and Pieces. Pretty sure that gives as much info as we need about Ruby unleashing her inner rage/anger over her mother's death. She holds it in and lets it fuel her 'fight'.
 * Pyrrha working so hard to keep her title even though this is the cause of her isolation might get explained next episode.

2- There seems to be a reason. He snuck into Beacon, and was never told about Aura/Semblance (hence his lack of understanding when Pyrrah brings it up and why she needs to unlock it). Perhaps he ran away from home and took the sword/sheild on his way out without knowing their real use.

3- I don't think she dislikes the fame, just the fact that no-one treats her as a friend/normal person which now that she has team JNPR and is friends with RWBY, she's solved this facet of it.

@Drumboy168:

I have two theories.

1- It's Pyrrah. Cinder now seeing Penney as a robot will pit the two together (essentiallly Ironwood vs Ozpin's 'trump cards') when Pyrrah finds out Penney is metal, it does two things: it publicizes her semblance under pressure to be magnetism, which weakens her advantage she's been holding close to heart, and it publicizes Atlas to be making synthetic beings capable of aura generation. (Further putting Atlas under the scope of 'unethical practices')

2- Ozpin knows they've been hacked, and is feeding misinformation to try and make the infiltrator slip up or show their objective. To Qrow, he's speaking of Ruby, but has officially declared Pyrrah as the guardian. The elevator scene we see of Pyrrah is right before heading up to her next match we will see next episode, hence why she's smiling and psyched up about crushing some skulls.

Note that Ozpin says 'maidens choose themselves' to be guardians. Which means it's a girl thing, and not just the top dog of the tournament. I'm wondering if this is what happened to Summer, and why we get the line 'don't make the same mistake I did' line in RLR II.
