Regarding the WF plot, if it was a setup, I would think that Ghira figuring it out would be a more interesting subversion; he's just in it to spring the trap, but never clueing anyone in (including the audience) that he's caught on. If it's not a setup, then I suspect that we will learn that Sienna is becoming more of a figurehead as Adam and others polarize the WF, some wanting peace, some wanting war. It's been all Kahn can do to keep a semblance (heh) of unity.

I don't think RNJR will ever figure out that Lionheart is a traitor; they're too used to thinking that the headmasters are on their side and will thus brush off any indication of betrayal. My money is on Qrow, Ozcar, or the Schnees. Qrow and Ozcar by virtue of being insiders and the Schnee sisters by virtue of investigation and the fact that I don't think either one trusts easily and are far more suspicious of others.

As far as the RWBY reunion, I want Ruby to be the last. Thematically, Ruby had nothing to do with her team breaking up, so it seems appropriate that, upon reunion, she finds them all together. How? I'm not sure but I would wager that the WF arc is the catalyst. Solving the Haven/Lionheart problem will likely require all of the characters' POV's.

Also, i can't help but feel that JNR are about to take a backseat; I really can't think of any specific plot relevance that they would have now, at least until Cinder shows her piratey mug again.

And now for something completely different. I have a list of characters I want to see in V5 but have no conceivable idea as to how: FNKI Mama Schnee (presuming that with Weiss gone and Atlas closed we won't have need for Schnee Manor) Penny CFVY Glynda Prof. Peach Arc Family Ruby's Signal friends Vacuo headmaster(mistress) Dr. Polendina
