I don't really like the idea of Cardin becoming anymore on a villain than he already is. I feel like he has more or less served his purpose as an antagonist, and should learn from his mistakes. Given his, and the rest of his team's appec in the end card, I'd put his importec on par with Velvet, Oobleck, and Port.

What I think we'll get is the team wanting to sign up for the festival tournament, but Blake has no interest because she doesn't find the idea of showing off infront of a bunch of strangers, or going to the festival at all, fun. Yang will take it upon herself to cover her otherwise, and will have a hard time at it. This would give them both some badly needed character development, and backstory if we're lucky.

While this is going on, something shady is happening that Ruby and Weiss look into. This will be getting the meta plot going, and lead to a climactic fight scene for the next episode. Because if the volume doesn't end with a climactic fight scene, there will be riots.
