So I called it that they wouldn't tell Ironwood the whole truth and who can blame them? Guy put all that work into a plan because he believes Salem can be "destroyed" and that Oz had a plan. Would seriously mess things up to take that away from him suddenly. Also called it that Watts would be locked out of Atlas, but not Mantle. That, of course, plays well into the idea of stirring up conflict between Mantle and Atlas. I do wonder what role human-Faunus interactions will play in this scenario.

For everyone here saying Ironwood's plan is so great, I think folks are overlooking a key point. It was said a main feature of the CCTs as a symbol of peace was that they were controlled by their respective Kingdoms and none worked without the other. Atlas is now chucking that idea and effectively seizing control of global communications using another symbol of peace. No matter how well-intentioned Ironwood may be with this it is easy to see how someone can put a negative spin on the idea.

Overall this episode is solid, but I am still a bit annoyed that nothing has been made of Blake's prior White Fang association. However, they probably got away with that by having Ironwood intercept things before they ended up incarcerated and there was a chance for Blake's background to be examined. I suspect, and honestly hope, this will come up. The one thing I can imagine now, though, is that Jacques learns of this and uses it against Weiss. Even if Ironwood would protect Blake, I imagine Jacques has press connections.

Highlighting, because that is just too precious.
