Hazel's redemption will likely happened shortly before his death.

I used to enjoy the idea of Mercury redeeming himself but at most, he'll realize that Tyrian is right, leave Salem, travel to the mountains to "find himself". By the time Emerald visits him after a year, Mercury would have grown a 2 foot long beard and ditched his robot legs after they oxidized. Meditation would have allowed Mercury to effectively walk on legs stumps.

Emerald gets redemption and becomes an on and off ally to team RWBY and Co I think it is quite possible their fates will end up intertwined. Maybe Hazel will sacrifice himself to allow Emerald the chance to escape and Mercury will go with her because of general attachment. Mercury and Emerald don't really talk to each other that much. Mercury clearly enjoys killing while Emerald likely doesn't and only joined Cinder so she could survive.
