The premiere was amazing, let’s see if this episode lives up to it! I wonder what’s getting uncovered this episode.

What a way to start! Cinder’s back, not that anyone thought she wouldn’t.

I wonder what happens if Cinder dies, does the Grimm inside of her take over? I think we’re going to see that at some point, there’s been already some foreshadowing with Salem teaching her to hold it back. Chekhov’s possessing Grimm.

Welp. Now we know how she gets the robes from the OP. That poor lady should have just stayed home that day.

Interesting, we’re back in Haven. Which fits with the OP scene of Jaune bullying a 14-year old kid Ozpin.

Poor Weiss. After only a couple of weeks free of political and familial drama, she’s forced to go back to Atlas. Did they ever get a reason besides “Oz said so”?

Huh. That makes sense. They can’t put it back or leave it somewhere hidden and Atlas does have (as far as we know) a powerful ally.

I wonder what’s going to happen in Atlas. While everything points to James turning into well-intentioned dictator, I’m not sure that’s the best of ideas considering what the real world is going through. It’s going to be hard to keep him sympathetic to the viewer, unless they turn him into a full-blown villain but eh, I think it’s more interesting to keep Ironwood as a misguided “good” guy.

Also, Did Yang ever tell them about Raven being the Spring Maiden? I think this is going to bit them all in the ass (since Yang is the one who keeps taking Ozpin to task for hiding things) _or_ Raven is going to find a modicum of courage and save them at some point. It’s an interesting card for the writers to keep up their sleeve.
