For Volume 2, I want to see all the secondary female characters (Twins, Glynda, Velvet, and Penny) stuck in a boat with Professor Port and Jaune. Port thinks it's awesome-- Jaune complains that there's too much estrogen and that neither he nor Port has sufficient testosterone to counter it. (This young man is still unaware of Port's latent badassery.)

This will show Character Development as Jaune comes to terms with his gutlessness, and has the audacity to make it funny. Then, it will spark a gradual evolution in which he starts making smarter and smarter jokes as the show also starts growing more mature, culminating with the kind of entertainment you'd normally find in movies like In Bruges.

Also, while in the boat, Jaune learns that he has a talent for a spear after accidentally killing a sea Grimm with an untriggerred harpoon. "I was not expecting that to happen." Glynda tells him, "No more swords, you're going full spearman now." He becomes one sad panda for the rest of the conversation. (If Monty wants to make all those Velvet-crushing-on-Jaune ideas canon, this is the time.)

Now JNPR and RWBY each specialize in something different for a weapon. Pyrrha's is a sword, right? There's no way that would make an effective spear.
