Yeah, so that epsiode was great. Loved it all around.

Velvet definitely took a picture of the gunchucks. Considering that the writers took the time to show us this, it's definitely important.

Honestly, I don't think Mercury really needs a semblance to keep up with Ruby in this room. She may be fast, but his speed as well as Cinders has been stressed recently. Merc has enhanced legs and was able to actively dodge lightning. Ruby can't outspeed him, but she can try and dodge his shots as well as try to use her speed like in the foodfight.

More importantly, since I don't actually think the Ruby/Merc encounter is important, Cinder is not available to intervene. If she isn't there to fight Ruby, then that means that she has bigger things to do and so does Neo. Maybe its time for Neo to iniatiate project jailbreak.

Cinder could be preparing for her bout or working with Adam.

Weiss and Blake went... to the fairgrounds of the cafe? Either which, that is where Adam is going to show up. It's been a mini theory of mine that the battles between th black hats and team RWBY in the theme song are in the order of their occurence in the show, so that leaves Adam to show up at the Cafe with Blake next.

If Penny, potentially the soul of Ironwood's deceased daughter crammed into a robot body, is ripped apart by Pyrrha, imagine what that does for Ozpin/Ironwood relations. Things are already tense between those two.
