Well, that was a remarkably introspective and yet very interesting episode!

I loved Blake's one-word summation of Adam. It really does capture the nature of the man and why he is so evil. Some people get hurt by the world so badly that they become determined to hurt the world back; someone, anyone, even ​everyone​​​. Such people tend to leave large body counts before they are finally put down like the diseased animals they are.

Then, in one remarkably simple scene, we are reminded that "victory is in a simple soul" and specifically for what Ozpin wanted Ruby at Beacon Academy.

Also... for Ilea... the final decision gate has arrived. Just how much does she value Adam's cause above her love for Blake? Enough to murder her chieftain? Enough sell her best friend into what perverted, insane torment that Adam is determined to inflict on her? I think that she is about to meet her destiny and it won't be a pleasant one.

Finally, I wonder if Adam realises that the Fox brothers are already planning the direction of the White Fang after he is gone?
