Sorry, this ended up being a very long post....

I'm the most interested in the fact how Ruby worded her question and how Jinn decided to grant it.

I mean "What is Ozpin hiding from us" is pretty wide question. Jinn could have answered by revealing pointless things like "Ozpin likes ginger tea and kittens" or "Ozpin thinks skirt are unpractical compat wear". But what Jinn is going to tell us is probably what he regrets the most and in same extent the things that the others want to know the most. Truth about Salem and the relics and this whole war.

She is the Spirit of Knowledge (or something like that) so it's not so surprising that she knows what the person actually wants to know without them saying it. Or maybe she just doesn't like Ozpin and wants to do the exact opposite he wants her to do.

But if she is telling the things based on the hidden needs/desires of the one who ask... If Jinn is going to show everything Ozpin is hiding from them that is related to Salem and the relics... Do you think Jinn will reveal what happened to Summer as well? If her fate is one of those things Ozpin is hiding from Ruby (and Yang), this would be a good opportunity.

And if we learn about Summer, Qrow and the Grimm arms (possible symbol of depression?) and the same Grimm that Ruby fights in the opening could be explained. They are the ones who are the most connected to Summer (I would count Yang but she has had enough mom trouble with Raven) and therefore the reveal of Summer's "true fate" will hurt them the most. Or perhaps this tunnel and Grimm are what killed Summer.

I know we have zero hints that we will see Summer in this volume nor has she been name dropped in ages, so it would come a bit nowhere, but we have pretty much seen everything in the trailer and opening and his was only 2nd episode. They are hiding something big. Something they want to come out of nowhere. Something that will turn the direction of the volume at very early point of the story.

Unless we are going to spend the rest of the volume in Jinn's history lecture...
