Oh wow! That one was seriously intense! There are two obvious things to take from this episode:


 * 1) Raven's bandits clearly seem to consider themselves a 'third faction'. That said, I wonder if their oh-so-destructive ace-in-the-hole is Tyrian. In other words, maybe she's already Salem's pawn and doesn't even know it;
 * 2) Farm Boy as the host to Ozpin's soul seemingly confirmed! I wonder: Will he slowly take over his host or is it a case that they will work together and co-operate towards achieving Ozpin's goals as well as ensuring Farm Boy lives a happy life?


 * No, I think that it's something else. You see, Farm Boy's name is Oscar. That, if I recall correctly, was the first name of the Wizard of Oz. I suspect that young Oscar was always intended to be the next Wizard and it was Ozpin's fate to be his guide after his death.

Boy, Raven is a piece of work, isn't she? Bandit leader and clearly completely in denial about the consequences of her actions (she didn't shrug off the destruction of the village but tried to make excuses instead). I think that she's going to face some unpleasant choices in this volume and those choices may determine whether one of the two empty chairs around Salem's table belong to her.
