I'm expecting Raven to try to Maiden her way out of Leo's house but for Ruby to use her Silver Eyes to shut her down. 2.  No Aura, no magic and a mad-as-hell Yang crawling out of the lift shaft behind her. 3. It will be game over and a cell next to Adam's on Mistral Prison's death row 4. unless she's willing to make a deal with Ozcar and Qrow about fighting on their side in exchange for a pardon. 1. Except that would do nothing to Raven. The Silver Eyes work on Grimm, not Maiden. The reason Cinder was affected was because her powers were taken via a Grimm Glove, and she has a literal Geist Claw for an arm. If Ruby tried it, which she can't willingly seeing as she didn't bother to ask about them and only trauma has triggered them, it would only create a bright flash. Raven would then be free to stab Ruby.

2. I don't think Yang can crawl thousands of feet up an elevator shaft with only one arm.

3. No, she'd be able to just make a portal and walk out of there. Unless they someone can neutralize her semblance or perpetually keep her aura low, she can walk out once her aura recovers.

4. In addition, if she was arrested, there is no way Ozcar and Qrow could arrange a pardon. Ozpin was ruler only in the shadows, and Qrow is officially no more than a standard huntsmen, while Oscar is a runaway teenager. If they tried, they'd have to take it before the Mistral Council, and considering they can't reveal Salem's existance, they would have no credible excuse to give the council to pardon her. If they want her help, they can't let her get arrested.
