Okay, my two cents:

1. So, as we all guessed, Ironwood's paranoia has gotten progressively worse. And it seems he's dragged poor Winter along for the ride.

2. We get to see some Faunus racism. Better late than never, I suppose. Still, seeing Weiss use her Glyphs to throw him in the trash was funny as hell.

3. We finally get to meet Penny's father, Pietro Polendina in the flesh. I can definitely see the Gepetto allusion. His voice actor does a great job with him. Though I have a bad feeling he's gonna die this volume. I dunno why.

4. The fight scene with the new Saber Grimm was awesome by itself, but it was merely the build up to the moment we all waited for: The Return of Penny Polendina. Everything about that moment, from her effortessly killing the Grimm to her glomping Ruby, was pure awesome and she looks so good in the new animation.

5. And the episode ends with our heroes being arrested. Way to jinx everything, Qrow. Also, Jason's voice sounds a bit different than the trailer. Gonna have to get used to the voice, I guess.

As for the intro, I have a few predictions and thoughts.

1. Our new character, Robyn Hill (who I bet is the character voiced by Christina Vee) seems to be running in an election against Jacques. And judging by how the hologram briefly switches from Ironwood to Jacques, it looks like Watts, our master hacker, is going to be manipulating things from behind the scenes to cause some political unrest. And Tyrian is going to be his main enforcer and is going to have a rematch with Qrow. Hope he doesn't die.

2. Our heroes are getting new upgrades for their weapons, which is exactly what I want to see.

3. Based on the intro, it looks like we won't be seeing any of the other villains like Cinder and Neo anytime soon. Makes sense as the duo are still behind the gang timeline-wise.

Overall, a fantastic start to a Volume that looks to be one hell of a ride.
