So, even if apparently like it was said earlier this was a "breather episode done wrong," I still really enjoyed this episode.

The interactions were holistic and I think made a necessary re-establishment of the previous RWBY + JNPR friend dynamics. The way they all talked about and referenced previous events and "what the fuck were you doing?" moments from previous Volumes was nice, particularly last Volume. Nora complimenting Jaune through "Mr. Muscles" was sweet, shows how much he's evolved from "And....Jaune!" I love how everyone was like "I hope you attacked that party bitch at the party, Weiss." Nickname callbacks were nice.

I also think that while Yang was genuinely feeling somewhat better, it still felt like a facade. It seemed like she was trying to keep her confidence up so that no one would question if she was feeling alright or not. Hence why some of her interactions seemed a little morbid. Nora screaming was pretty funny, though with the arm detaching it seemed like a Taiyang arm and brain joke rehash, Yang edition.

Lots of confirmations that were already talked about earlier, mostly between Fubuki, Chish, and an anon.

YES! Emerald and Mercury make their appearance! And seems to be an introduction into action...they better not break for next week. Something tells me Watts is going to be the "good" cop compared to Cinder + EM, who is going to be the bad cop I think.

Shay D. Mann. Shay doesn't fit CNR. Does this mean a middle name in combo with the first name is confirmed as viable? YES! The OC Dan D. Lyon is a go!
