The only part of that idea I would like is Whitley and rebuild Penny spending some time together mostly because of how humorous those interactions could be. They have quite different personalities after all.

I see no reason for Whitley to even want to succeed in that mission. If Weiss is home she might find a way back in their father's grace and a way to disgrace him so she becomes heir again. Whereas if she is out in the wilds his position as heir is as secure as it is going to get since there's no competition anymore.

Only exception would be if the reward is being made heir with no chance of being replaced in which case I could see him going bloodhound mode on Weiss.

To be honest I honestly don't see a good reason for Jacques to even care about Weiss anymore. She obviously has zero interest in following his vision so she's useless in that regard and he doesn't exactly seem to have a lot of parental affection for her. I fail to see how tracking her down and bringing her back home would be in anyway in his advantage.

You know depending on how dark Roosterteeth wants to make this they could use the story of Joanna of Castille (also known as Joanna the Mad). Joanna allegedly carried around the casket with her dead husband Philip the Handsome for an entire year on her travels before being confined to a nunnery by her son Charles V of the Holy Roman empire because of a mental illness.

It is unknown if she actually had a mentall illness, it is known to have ran in her family, but it could have been a lie fabricated by Charles V. After all those with mental illnesses were deemd unfit to rule, which meant Charles became the supreme ruler instead of merely co-monarch (this was usefull because otherwise he would rule just the Austrian territories, whilst Joanna would rule the Spanish territories).

With Weiss her outburst at the banquet where she almost killed a civilian and her fighting at the battle of Beacon, which could easily have given her PTSD, I think it woud be rather easy for Jacques/Whitley to have Weiss painted as being mentally unfit to inherit the SDC. Maybe even arranging Weiss to become permanently commited in a psychiatric ward to permanently prevent her from being a possible heir to he SDC.

Just a thought.
