Well this episode confirmed one of my theories: Cinder is arrogant enough to believe she can handle two sets of Maiden powers, regardless if she actually can or not. I'm hoping it'll be her undoing here, though I fear Salem herself may come to her rescue, she's come too far to be thwarted now.

As for Hazel, wow, juicing up on Dust is... definitely unique. And it explains why he doesn't have a weapon, he really doesn't need one. But, seriously, helping the enemy of all Remnant because of his sister, seems a little... excessive to me.

And Ozpin, commandeering Oscar's body to do what he thinks is right, and I'm certain this isn't the first time he's overruled a host, I can see trust issues between the two in the future.

And that ending, wow. Cinder trolls Raven, then trolls Vernal, only to find out that she's been played for a fool, that egomania of her. ^_^  Now this would explain why Raven fled, lest she endanger Tai, Qrow, and even Yang with her newfound powers. And if Ozpin knew and never told Qrow, oh there will be such a reckoning. And while I don't want to see any of the RWBY girls become Maidens, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Ozpin is counting on ie he allowed Raven to roam free in hopes that Yang would inherit her powers and succeed where her mother "failed". And if Cinder does kill Raven and tries to force her to think of her, I hope Raven thwarts her to the very end. So Cinder will have nothing, would serve her right.
