So I only got to see the episode yesterday before bed.

Pyrrha's in a really bad way.

Why did Mercury just let Ruby go? That makes no sense, and at this point just seems to be plot contrivance to unravel the identity of the bad guys.

Penny. She's fine. Why are people thinking she's either dead or going to lose her memories? That's nonsensical. No sane design would put her processor/neural net in the abdomen, which was the only thing damaged (besides the arm). She's just in a coma, and can be rebuilt good as new. Being bisected can't kill her; her mind would have its own backup power source which'd last long enough to let her shut down safely.

Neo apparently soloed an entire Atlesian Aeronaval Vessel. Presumably those vessels have shields which were down, because otherwise there's interesting information to be learned from the weapon-armor arms race. And why the hell did it take so long for them to mobilize? One'd think they'd hop to it, even without direct orders from their chain of command.

Cinder's endgame is still a bi unclear, but at least it's happening. How'd the Fang wrangle Grimm?
