Having watched this episode again I have a strong feeling that this volume will end on a massive cliff hanger (maybe not Aldnoah Zero level, but you get the idea). I believe this mainly due to the pace of development and because the students are all heading off in different, but very specific & strategic directions.

I suspect the teams are being placed where they are to reflect the start (RWBY), progress (JNPR) and climax (SNNN) of an all-out attack on Vale with the hunters falling back to the city in the face of overwhelming force and the volume ending at a tipping point in the fight for the Kingdom (perhaps related to Cinder's Virus i.e. "the gates are opening by themselves!!").
