Ruby's eyes were foreshadowed from season 1. We didn't know the extent to which it would present itself, and it could have just been something for subtext, aura, or shipping, but the fact that Ruby has silver eyes and teh fact that Eyes are important in RWBY have been rammed into the plot over a table for a while now.

It would be a Deus Ex Machine if it had no foreshadowing and was shoehorned in at the last second. This was something that's been important since the first episode.
