I had this feeling from the start of this volume that Ironwood would break and cross the line once he realized the truth about Oz and Salem and that Ruby and Oscar telling him the truth would have negative consequences. Sadly I was right.

Both him and the heroes falled into the trap of thinking that they were doing things better than Ozpin and that by doing the contrary of Ozpin's secretive policy they would get the right results against Salem but reality has already started to catch up harshly with them.
