My feeling is that the final reckoning between Cardin and Jaune lies off at the far end of Volume 2 or even in Season 2 now. We'll get little hints that Jaune is chafing under the blackmail and that Pyrrha is still trying to persuade him to accept her help but it will be background for now.

My hope is that the next episode will start looking at the character background of either Blake or Ruby with the last two chapters (both of which should be double-length episodes) focussing on the A-plot: Why Ozpin accepted a girl with silver eyes into Beacon two years early and then made her the team leader.

We've spent enough time on the background and character issues. IMHO, the time has come to get on with what this show is really about.
