Ruby with JNR (Cinder & Co.), Weiss at home (Military & Schnee things), Yang coping (hopefully going to see her mom and whatever she is), Blake on the White Fang's trail ... And then have them come together for the last episode, a big standoff that's the cliffhanger for the season.

They could all meet up with other students and even teachers along the way. It seems like a good way to give the new characters some meaningful screen time and let the main four go their own way and develop outside the team. Each could have their own smaller story arcs that all come together in the end. I agree entirely, but from what I've heard we're gonna focus on Ruby and Weiss this volume, and admittedly the source I heard it from isn't credible, but if that's the case, they might be separated the entire way.

But really, how would one even have the time to reunite them in 12 episodes? With all the stuff that's happening, I don't think it should happen until at least volume 5.
