She was wearing the bow in the last part, despite being with a fuanus, after the reveal, and he said she is better without it. It could be she is still hiding or ashamed, or it could simply be that she has gotten so used to it that she wears it even if she thinks she doesn't need it anymore. Weiss and the others don't know she's a faunus, or Weiss wouldn't have been so mouthy through the whole episode.

I'm pretty sure they STILL don't know, and just take her for a human sympathizer. Blake isn't going to take off the ribbon in public, or around school, because of the attention and trouble it would cause.

That ribbon continues to be the difference between life as a normal person and life as a faunus for her. It'll stay on except in very private instances.
