3.  First she needs to find her parents... I'd almost be surprised if meeting them happens on the same episode as she gets to Menagerie Rooster Teeth has already confirmed in their Thanksgiving post that we will meet her family (everyone assumes parents but I don't believe there is confirmation of that) in the next episode. They even included screenshots. It makes it seem as if the episode will be mostly Blake, but I doubt that. I think just as they split the focus between Ruby and Yang they will split the focus between Blake and Weiss, with a heavier focus on Blake perhaps.

Keep in mind that each episode is roughly 15 minutes with Episode 6 and the finale likely to be 20 minutes each. That is a lot of time to not put the team back on track and dwell on personal drama with only Ruby and the remnants of B team seeing real action. Could be that Episode 6 is too soon to be have them all immediately on the path to Mistral, though it would be easier with some than others.

Sun and Blake are almost certain to be in Mistral by the end of the Volume as far as I am concerned and there really isn't much need for travel delay as it concerns Weiss since her family presumably has its own airship. Hell, maybe Jaques will send her to Mistral as part of his continued efforts to try and get the embargo lifted and she just gets sucked into the whole thing by accident.

Yang is really being set up to head towards Mistral already, I think. The fact Oobleck and Port were bugging Taiyang about searching for Ruby means that might be what gets her heading off. It would not take a lot of exposition to have her feel moved to go find her sister and trying to find her for her father's sake to repay him for all the trouble she is causing him would be a very easy motivator.
