RWBY V3 C3

## Plot

Weiss acts very formal around Winter, and Winter is cold and formal in general. Ruby followed Weiss to the ship. Winter is a perfectionist, but she loves Weiss, and it shows. Qrow calls Winter ice queen. He insults Atlas and her boss, Ironwood. She retaliates by fighting him. The two know each other. Winter has a fencing sword and a smaller one in it. Qrow has a *giant* sword, a gun, and possibly a scythe, but we don't see it in this episode. Mercury recognizes Qrow, and runs away looking scared to tell Emerald and Cinder. Winter can also use glyphs. Ironwood stops the fight, and demands an explanation. Winter technically attacked first, putting her in an awkward position. Ironwood asks Qrow what he's doing in Vale. Ozpin and Glynda break things up before things can get too heated, and they all head towards Ozpin's office. Ruby is really glad to see her uncle again. (Aw! It's so cute! I love you Lindsay!) I can already tell that I'm going to love Qrow. Case in point: Ironwood: "If you were one of my men, I would have you shot!" Qrow: "If I was one of your men I'd shoot myself." He's also the first person to swear in universe, and tears Ironwood's argument apart. He's easily my favorite adult character. "So you tell me James, when you brought your army to Vale, did you think you were being discreet, or did you just not give a damn?" He's snarky, drunk and still kicks butt, and I can't wait to see his scythe! And somehow he's still super sweet to his nieces. **Best. Uncle. Ever!** Everyone already knows that their enemy is in Vale. Winter is asked to leave. There's some kind of conspiracy group between them all: Qrow, Glynda, Ironwood, Ozpin and the leaders of the other two academies. Qrow informs them that the infiltrator isn't a pawn like Roman. They're responsible for Autumn's condition. Wait, who the heck is Autumn?!? I have so many questions! To Ironwood: "You're here because Ozpin wanted you here. He made you a part of this inner circle and opened your eyes to the real fight that's in front of us." "And I am grateful." "Oh well, you've sure got a real funny way of showing it." Ironwood claims that their discreet approach wasn't working. Qrow: (laughs) "You-You think they're scared of your little ships? I've been out there and I've seen the things she's made and let me tell you: They are fear." Ominous and creepy. Does he know who Cinder is though? Could he recognize her? What else has she done? I'm so confused! Fear and panic will bring the Grimm. A guardian is a symbol of comfort, but an army is a symbol of conflict. There's an energy in the air now. A question in the back of everyone's minds: If *this* is the size of our defenses, what is it we're expecting to fight? Everyone else is against Ironwood's methods. So, yeah, oh no. Ironwood's scroll has the queen chess piece from volume 2. This can't be good. The only real option is to find their guardian. Cinder says that they'll stay the course, since they have no idea who they are. They mention their "clever little friend" taking care of the last of the heavy lifting. Is it Adam? I... have no idea. We find out what Cinder hacked into the CCT Tower for. She now has access to Ironwood's scroll. She's been rigging the matches the whole time. The start of the doubles round will be Mercury and Emerald vs. Coco and Yatsuhashi. Please, Coco and Yatsuhashi will kick their butts! I saw them in the volume 2 finale!

## Review

This was a good episode, but I'm so confused! I just have so many questions! I can't believe Cinder's been rigging the fights the whole time! When will Adam or Raven show up? *Will* they even show up? Will Winter learn about the secret group? Will the students, like Team RWBY or JNPR? What's the purpose of this secret group? What do they do? Ugh! Until next time I guess!
