And just like V3, the 6th episode is where everything goes to hell. So let’s sum it up.

-So it starts out with Robyn at 70% votes. If you pay attention, you’ll notice Jacques slowly but surely inch closer and closer.

-Apparently the riots do not trigger any Grimm attack.

-For Weiss’s one up: “Clever girl.”

-Jaune can not only tank a charged projectile launch from Nora, but use his Semblance to act as if nothing happened. Nice

-And we have our obligatory BB moment. We seem to be getting that every episode I guess. It was cute, but I hope CRWBY understands the concept of diminishing returns. As for the other ship, I’m getting there.

-Annnnnnnd Weiss just opted to go with Jaune (Yes, our Jaune. Right here. The blonde one.) and Oscar for a movie. Granted, it was because it was either a dance club with Yang (I instantly understood and got Yellow trailer flashbacks), or a political rally as a Schnee to her dads political opponent (Because THAT would not have caused trouble. In fact, had she showed up, it could’ve been even worse), but it does at least show the considerable improvement between them. I’ll take it.

-Thank goodness Robyn knows how to stop the measuring contest between Marrow and the other. Side note, I half expected Ruby to go into an Ed Elric style short rant upon being called pipsqueak.

-Well Renora has officially happened. So they were going with the anime trope of them fighting before making up and being official.

-So Watts cuts the power, but not before Ruby manages to see Tyrian. Only Penny seems to recover from the shock and tries to intercept Tyrian.

-Was it me, or did Tyrian’s Semblance let him bypass the Aura of Robyn’s partner?

-Penny manages to save Robyn by tackling her out of the way, but the lights come on to frame Penny. Who knows what’s on her mind right now.

-To make matters worse, in the chaos, Watts clearly screwed with the polls, electing Jacques, and making it look like he and the military are in league, when they couldn’t be more wrong. But Ruby now has a lead to pursue and prove the acts of foul play. You really should embrace the leave no witnesses thing Tyrian. You know she saw you. (Seemed like a perfect time to capture Ruby actually).

-I’m not sure if this takes Marrow of the traitor suspect list or not. He ought to have night vision, but it’s also possible to be blindsided, and it might take time to adjust, unlike Penny. He seemed genuinely caught off guard. Come to think of it, that makes Clover more suspect. Marrow’s been established as a sort of odd one out, and why just him at the rally? To make it seem like the military was in on it?

-And Jacques has the gall to promise his promises in the middle of riots and a Grimm attack. Can’t this idiot who is a supposed shrewd businessman see that he’s being used?
