That would actually be the best way for them to ensure victory over her, to be honest. Lock the doors and don't unlock them unless Mercury gives them the okay. If Ruby somehow manages to knock Mercury out, they'll figure out some way to defeat Ruby. She'll still have Neo to worry about, and maybe Cinder.

I actually kind of hope that the writers thought of having them lock the doors. If not, that'd suck. But I think there's a chance they could have thought of it, considering they've actually thought things through pretty well thus far.

Ditto. Would be silly for Mercury to show if he can't do anything to stop her. Only way I could see her being allowed to go is if there is a suspension of belief in her story. Like if she went to someone (Ironwood or Qrow) and said Mercury and Emerald are here, what are the odds she is believed? Especially with the bad rap the team has. At this point it'd be like she's just trying to stick up for Yang.
