Well, there is one "P" person who wanted to stay at Beacon who has a far more plausible case for being revived. Now wouldn't that be awkward?

If you'll recall I posited that exact scenario around a year ago, the only thing stopping it at the moment is Penny's death, though as you say that could be a re-direct... I'm not sure it will happen soon next season, as best case I see the series diverging into alternate stories, with Ruby and JNR journeying to Mistral, Weiss possibly finding and befriending a rebuilt Penny... though I doubt she will just leave Atlas without either Blake or Yang or Adam forcing her to.

Blake and Yang seem to me to be the biggest wild cards... Will Blake stay in Vale? leave for Sun in Vacuo or Mistral? try to warn Weiss about Adam? Help Yang out of her Funk?

alternatively when and how Yang gets out of her funk changes where and when she re-enters the story.
