I doubt Summer Rose being dead. Every time in a show like this when someone is gone "and never coming back", they always come back.

XM, a mysterious friend of mine, had a theory. What if Summer isn't dead at all? What if she didn't come back because she revealed a truth that blew up her mind, a truth that changed her entire perception about Beacon and Ozpin and the huntsmen, and about the creatures of Grimm?

The theory says that Summer was in a form of danger that even she couldn't face - a natural disaster, an ambush by White Fang or Chaos Syndicate, or just getting lost in a wasteland. But just in time she was saved - not by a human and not by a faunus, but by Grimm. Knowing that creatures that Ozpin and his likings describe as pure evil, Summer learned a lesson that Blake told us long ago, in Volume 1: there is no such a thing as pure evil. The Grimm, just like the White Fang, are no more than the victims or harsh racism.

Now XM is inclined to involve Lord Grimm theory in it, saying that she was "Blessed" by him. It can also be explained by Grimm parasites or whatever, but the point is: Summer was turned into a human-type Grimm, maybe the first of her kind. She pledged herself to become the voice of Grimm and a Grimm leader. from that day on, she was known as...

SALEM.
