Why?! Why did rubys mother have to die by salems hands?

For the drama

You know, Salem didn't say she killed her. Probably did, but she didn't say it, still leaving it hanging in the air just a bit.

The fights where a bit short. But, neither Watts or Tyrian were meant to actually win. Watts laughing at Ironwood about how he is prepared to sacrifice anything to stop Salem comes full force now that Salem is on her way.

It seems there can be a backlash with the silver-eyes if the person gets overwhelmed with powerful negative thoughts.

Now we have conflict between the heroes. A balanced one between what logically needs to be done and what morally needs to be done. Ironwood putting the needs of the many above the few and RWBY wanting to do their duty as huntresses to protect everyone.
