User blog comment:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Lessons Learned" (Vol3.Ep4)/@comment-5414218-20151130005254/@comment-25405817-20151201024241

@Urano:

First Round: We are now on the time of the Vytal Festival, and our bad guys are planning something for these days.

New Challengers: We learn that Qrow is in Vale and has some business to attend with someone who is later implied to be Winter.

It's Brawl in the Family: Qrow reports to Ozpin and the audience what he has learned and explains why Ironwood is an idiot for taking the wrong actions against the enemy. Also, we learn that Cinder and Co. are rigging the tournament.

Lessons Learned: Only the world building and reinforcing Merc and Em as dangerous villains.

I think the story has moved forward in these first episodes except for the latest one.
