Regarding the current plot arc, I expect the initiation to end in two or three episodes time. We still need the big action sequence and the return to the cliff-top where Ozpin will be awaiting and ready Master Yoda to channel. The next arc, running from around Episode 10, will be settling down and the first formal lessons; we might also get Roman and Crimson causing trouble in the background and Glynda having to forcibly stop our heroes from rushing off half-cocked to 'do something about it'.

I expect a shock revelation and/or tragedy in episode 16 to act as a link to the events in Volume 2. Maybe an attack on one of the characters' families by Grimm that somehow got into the safe zone of Vale City. To make this more effective, expect a constant downplaying of the Grimm as a threat during volume 1 - "They only infest the wild zones", "Our cities are safe" and so on. On the contrary, my understanding of it is that the Cities are pretty much the only places NOT infested.
