While I found it interesting, is it just me, or is it that there are two things off this episode.

First, after a PTSD-induced nightmare about her arm, she is able to take an arm-related joke moments later and laugh about it without any fear whatsoever, even though it should've sent her into a panic, with the arm as a trigger word. Keep in mind this is before the pep talk and learning that Ruby's away, giving her the need to fight again and make herself useful. Looks to me that some parts of dealing with her depression seems suspiciously quicker than expected.

Second, for all of Raven's talk about protecting the Branwen bandits, it appears that she is actually damning her tribe into extinction. In Remembrance, it is implied that the dying Huntsman said that the Grimm slaughtered not only the Shion/Xione villagers, but also the entire bandit force, save for Raven herself.

Now, it would make sense if she dismissed the casualties as weak, according to her Social Darwinist philosophy, but, it is implied that she gave a damn about the tribe as a whole, so what's up with that?

P.S. Will Yang keep the arm? Or will she have a nightmare about it again and force her to switch to a one-armed style, just like in the character poster?
