You know, thwarting the guy? Pretty please? I’m pretty sure that camera caught something incriminating. And also say something like Mama Schnee sends her regards. I second that, only I'd add Winter barging in as well and taking Herr Schnee out of the house in handcuffs. Aiding and abetting a fugitive of justice? Yeah, that's not gonna look good for his precious image. So much for bringing down Ironwood, I'd more lean towards Jacques being made to face justice, though I fear the upcoming debacle in Mantle is bound to take precedence, and Schnee is bound to be blamed for it. Oh yeah, it's gonna really suck for Herr Schnee next year, now that Watts has no further use for him.

Add conspiracy and extortion to the charges. But knowing CRWBY, it somehow will end badly or we get distracted, even though the timing and evidence is practically gift wrapped for the heroes. So how it would play out ideally would be like this:

Weiss finds out via footage who Watts is (Man, that’s not going to improve what she thinks of her so called family), at least learning of the election tampering with possible knowledge of the culprits of the massacre, assuming Watts blabbed about that part though Jacques is the sort of person to disregard ethics.

Having her suspicions confirmed and putting two and two together that her father aided Salem and company, Weiss goes back to the entrance hall and storms into the dining room glyph first, likely with the rest of the gang in tow.

If Blake had to one word describe Weiss at that moment, it would be Fury. She says where she’s been and that she managed to uncover footage while saying in her anger that Mama Schnee sends her regards. She plays the footage, shows it to everyone present.

Jacques feeble attempts to discredit and defend himself are already not working for him, especially with Robyn around, when the news hits that Mantle’s heating is down, which has connections to the SDC, further incriminating Jacques. Now knowing this, the tables are turned. The council wheel around on Jacques along with Robyn, who has probably drawn her weapon when she learns of the imminent danger Mantle is in.

As for the arrest? Winter has the honors, and she does so with a mixture of contempt and cold, barely restrained glee. It’s at this moment that Jacques knew, he screwed up.

But that’s probably not how it’s going to go, even though I feel like all characters would act on this discovery IMMEDIATELY, as 1.) You can’t allow Salem to have a Pawn in the Atlesian government, 2.) This is their chance to get Robyn to her rightful seat, 3.) It’s sweet, sweet revenge for the female Schnee’s, 4.) Raise the alarm on the hacker and his hax!
