They continued to be unusually hyper later on. There's Weiss' part with the chair, and the way everybody speaks after Blake's speech makes it sound like they all just downed six cans of Red Bull each.

Here's what we gather from this episode that is important: -- People know that Blake's a Faunus -- Ironwood, a headmaster/military man, is planning something big -- Team RWBY are going to try and fight the White Fang -- Cinder and co are within school grounds.

So yeah, quite a bit, I suppose. The one thing that really bugge me about this episode was the card game. It felt a bit like filler to me, and didn't really do anything for plot advancement.
