I mean they kind of were setting up this whole conflict of ideas between Ren and Nora (Ren lining with Ironwood and Nora with Happy Huntresses). But then they just dropped the whole thing and now they are like nothing ever happened. Ren is acting all normal again, Ironwood and Robyn are allies and Nora is... Kind of symbol of Mantle and it's people's frustation but that came pretty much to the end in this episode too.

This volume has been from the better end of the series, but things like this honestly make it feel like there has been a lot of scenes and plot elements that were cut off the last minute. Agreed. It feels like some plot elements were rushed or cut. Jacques felt like he was beaten WAY too quickly, before he even got a chance to do anything.

It also feels like Ruby and Co. suffered zero consequences from witholding vital information for so long. Hopefully this is just because the Battle of Mantle is a priority right now and when their out of that situation, then maybe we can actually get something from that.
