I have a few ideas about what could happen in Episode 16 and Volume 2 in general and I  wanted to hear what other people thought of my ideas as well as other people's ideas.

Episode 16 possibilities:

1) Blake's Backstory-since she indicated she was going to tell Sun about herself, it would seem that we might get a character backstory. This could be the only thing that happens in the episode and then we can get a scene where she runs into the rest of RWBY and apologizes for running off. Or, if any of the other things on this list come to pass, she might come back and save someone who is being attacked by some enemies.

2) The rest of RWBY's search for Blake-probably, Yang and Ruby seemed determined to find her.

3) Roman Torchwick strikes back-We know that he steals Dust and that an army would need Dust as the cops in Episode 15 stated. The festival would provide an opportunity to stage the attack; however, what would the purpose of the attack be and where? I do not now if Torchwick would attack the festival or Beacon because it was shown in Episode 8 that he had Beacon Academy circled on his map and having everyone at the festival would distract everyone from his actions in Beacon, but taking out the best fighters in Vytal at the festival would also turn the balance of power in the area in his favor (although we do not know what Torchwick's motivations are, as he is clearly not out for money).

4) Any Fight Scene-If Monty doesn't put in a fight scene in the last chapter of the volume, I would be surpised and disappointed. Also that tournament that people were talking about might be shown in the episode, but I tend to think that a few episodes would be needed to cover all of it, which could also mean that another event like Roman's attack could interupt the tournament.

5) Something particularly interesting that makes you want to watch more-one does not simply have a regular episode as the last episode of a volume or season. As per the rules/traditions of shows in  general, the last episode of a season or volume usually has: something epic, something tragic, or something cryptic. Based on this, I can assume that there will be a fight scene (see #4), the death or near-death of a character we know, and/or the revelation of a villain (like "Crimson's" face or something).

Volume 2:

1) The connection between Ruby and White Cloak (the one from the opening by the gravestone) as well as the rest of Ruby's backstory. Seriously, we barely know about the history of Ruby and Yang as we know that Blake is a Faunus and had to deal with discrimination, Weiss had a pampered childhood even though her life was/is controlled by her parents, Jaune felt pressured to become a hunter and forged his transcripts to get into Beacon because of it, Pyrrha is a star athlete and trained hard all her life to win tournaments and such, etc. All we know for sure about Ruby is her motivation to become a huntress, even though she's supposed to be the main character and all we really know about Yang's past/childhood is that she is Ruby's sister and that she read Ruby bed-time stories.

2) Introduction of the students' families

3) Ozpin's weapon and fighting ability-he seems like the type that wouldn't want to fight, but would destroy absolutely anybody if he did. That also seems like about the time it would happen.

4) The revelation of a prophecy that mentions the colors red, white, black, and yellow (perhaps the same words as in the beginning of "Red Like Roses")

5) Roman's attack on Beacon if it didn't occur already.

That's all i've come up with so far. What do you guys think?
