Predictions for Episode 2:

So, what might next week's episode be about? My guesses:


 * Announcement of the ball;


 * Funny scene in Prof Port's class where Jaune fails to convince Weiss to be his date to the ball (Weiss sets new Beacon Academy snark and sarcasm records that match her previous bests from The Shining Beacon, Part 1); there follows a Jaune = Ron Weasley schtick where Jaune fails to realise Pyrrha is a girl by complaining standing right next to her that there seem to be no single girls interested in him;


 * Emerald and Mercury, posing as exchange students, arrive at Beacon. Mercury gets his entertainment by watching as Ruby latches limpet-like onto Emerald and won't be dissuaded or put off, no matter how antisocial and rude she gets;


 * Sage and SUNS #4 turn up and are possibly given a quick tour (which is essentially a character establishment for the two new visitors) by Blake, Yang, Ren and Nora.

I admit it; I really want Sun's team, Mercury and Emerald to have 'stranger in a strange land' experiences with RWBY and JNPR, which makes them seem like lunatics who are more dangerous to themselves than any foe. This makes it all the more surprising for them in the last couple of episodes when they suddenly start kicking bad guy ass.
