I think you're glossing over the part where I pointed out the previous episode's cliffhanger.

Ruby: Miss Calavera? How do you know so much about the Grimm? And in the tunnels, you knew exactly what to say to make me... to make my eyes do that. How?

Maria: (smiles) Well, isn't it obvious, girl? I had Silver Eyes.

Basically, break it down like this...

Ruby: How did you know how to make my eyes destroy those Grimm?

Maria: 'Cause I had silver eyes too, duh.

Weiss, Blake, & Yang, internally: So, that light that came from Ruby's face and destroyed the Apathy was because she has silver eyes, okay.

Hence what I meant when I said it's too easy for WBY to connect the dots and figure it out. Even if Maria didn't talk about petrifying the Nevermore, they could still figure it out. Even if she didn't explain about the fight against the Nevermore, she could've said that she believes Tock found her because she used her powers on the Nevermore.

As for JNR, though... I'll give you that. They were told at some point between Volumes 3 and 4, considering none of them raised any questions about this dialogue in A Much Needed Talk:

Ruby: That guy, Tyrian - why was he after me?

Qrow: (sighing) Well, you definitely painted a target on your back with what you did at Beacon. I told you having silver eyes is a rare trait. And the fact that you were able to use them seems to have upset some very powerful people. Not many people know about the silver eyes. Those that do aren't very happy that one has surfaced. That's why I've been keeping an eye on you in order to make sure you were safe. All of you.

Ruby: Well, then, why not just travel with us? It seems like that would've been way easier.

Jaune answers her loudly enough to be heard, but with his back still turned to everyone.

Jaune: He was using you as bait.
