So in order, this was a crazy episode, not action wise, but implication and emotional wise.

So everyone on Qrow's list is unavailable. It may seem odd for some, but not when you look at the mission board he had up. A lot of them had in progress missions, so that explains their abscences. Others are concerning though. Some missions are marked as "terminated" which is bad either way. Either they died, or they canceled the missions but are still MIA. And seeing the Shields family..... just damn. Poor Qrow. Side note, we get a minor scene of Faunus Discrimination with the bar Qrow went too looking for Shiro having a sign that says "No Faunus". It's a start, and let's hope they are heading in the right direction with showing the Faunus discrimination.

So Raven gives an abridged version on what we know to Yang and Weiss, and the two are naturally skeptical. But she also gives some detail onto why the Branwens went to Beacon anyway: They were killers. They wanted to know how to Kill Huntsman, the only other threat to their tribe, so they pretended to want to be ones. Side note, Vernal's weapon is weird looking. Looks like a pincer weapon but with a gun where the handle is.

Also, it seems Ozpin's treatment of RWBY is synonomous with "Teams of Special Interest" as STRQ got the same treatment. And Qrow remained because he was essentially converted, while Raven was terrified of what she learned and left. Once more I believe the whole birth of Yang was a drunken mistake, and Raven was just waiting for the chance to up and leave. And even stranger, her ability to turn into a corvid type bird is attributed to Ozpin. So it isn't a semblance related matter then, but magic related? More and more questions arise. She also said she learned not just about Salem, but also people able to come back from the dead. Was she just reffering to Ozpin's ability to effectively reincarnate via merging with like souls, or is there another form of ressurection we don't know yet?

As much as I can understand Yang's outburst about Raven, I feel it was poorly timed. I get she can only restrain herself so much, but Vernal has a gun to her head, and Raven is the only one able to get her too Ruby. If she could held out a bit longer, maybe wait till after Raven has opened the portal. Plus, Raven says she knows more about Yang than Yang thinks, right before showing her Raven trick. So.... QUICKLY! Go back to every scene where there is a black colored bird and look to see if it has feathers! If it doesn't, then that means Raven is watching! If it does, then Qrow is watching! Also, I like the little "I know" she said once they left about her not being kind. Makes her abit more human, in that she either A.) Regrets what she put Yang through, or B.) Regrets what she's getting Yang and Weiss into.

So Qrow comes back with Weiss and Yang, and Ruby finally breaks down crying at the sight of her sister embracing her! More emotion from Ruby is a win! And it scores another spot on my bingo card! And Weiss joins in on the hug too! Hugs and tears all around! So now RW_Y is back, with JN_R and OzQ too! That leaves just Blake, Sun, and possibly Ghira, Kali (If they survive), and Ilia (If she turns good and if she survives) to join the party! Side note: someone please get Weiss a change of clothes! She could do with something clean, and with something that doesn't have the Schnee emblem on her freaking back!
