Why do I feel like the writers take special care to make us love Weiss? She's gotten the most character development and yet we still know so little about her. They constantly leave us wanting more with all of the characters, certainly, but every time we think we understand the heiress, RT throws us a plot twist like Winter. And I just love the way Weiss tries to put on a smile to talk to the SDC receptionist, as if she's trying to put on a brave face in case she has to talk to her father. Poor, poor Weiss. Hearing that one girl talk so casually with her mother probably didn't enhance her experience.

Also, is Ruby deliberately trying to keep Neptune away from Weiss? Because that's what it seems like. Also, I noticed the fact that he didn't flirt with Yang. I think he's got his sights set on Weiss. I'm still not fully sold on them as a couple, though. Weiss could just have wanted to talk to a fellow intellectual, as Ruby certainly wasn't going to fill that role. I need more interaction between her and Neptune pronto! And of course, Sun and Blake get to run around together.

And could Penny's hiccups be like malfunctions in her system? Perhaps she gets them when her body is damaged and having trouble functioning.
