Team RWBY start their investigation of the White Fang and Ruby learns a little bit more about their strange friend, Penny.

While the teachers assess the threat they're facing, Team RWBY receive a surprise package from Ruby and Yang's father. Meanwhile, Team CFVY finally return home from their mission and Team RWBY is horrified to learn which teacher will be escorting them for their first field trip.

Weiss, Blake and Yang discuss their motivations for becoming huntresses. While everyone sleeps, Ruby discovers a White Fang patrol but gets captured while trying to follow them.

Grimm are attacking Vale, and it's up to team RWBY and friends to defeat them.

Starting the last episode ends, Ruby follows Weiss as she races across Vale to greet a woman who turns out to be Weiss's older sister, Winter. As the sisters begin their journey back to the school, they're interrupted when a drunkard picks a fight with Winter. He turns out to be Ruby's uncle, Qrow. Awesome fight and property damage ensue, until it's broken up when Ironwood shows up followed by Ozpin and Glynda.

Later, Qrow, Ironwood, Glynda, and Ozpin have a meeting where a lot of harsh words ensue.

We open to Pyrrha getting her world rocked as Ozpin and co. tell her the secret history of Remnant. Later we start the opening of the singles matches with Yang vs. Mercury.

Team RWBY rally around Yang when Ironwood tells her she's been disqualified then Qrow and Yang discuss Yang's mother. Jaune and Pyrrha have a heart-to-heart which distresses Pyrrha due to her confusion about Ozpin's offer. The next fight is confirmed to be Penny versus Pyrrha while Ruby finds herself confronting Mercury, who is supposed to be on his way back to Haven.

Mercury fights Ruby to prevent her interfering with Penny and Pyrrha's fight. The tournament match ends in disaster and Cinder hijacks the airwaves with a grim message for the world's audience.

Roman and Neo sabotage the Atlesian military ships while the Grimm and the White Fang begin their attack on Vale.

War breaks out with battles occurring on the tournament field, the city and the school. Formerly adversarial tournament teams unite to fight the Grimm together while Ruby goes after a rogue airship that has turned on the rest of the fleet. Cinder's virus makes things worse by turning the robotic Atlesian army against both the city and its defenders.

And then the Grimm Dragon appears...

On the airship, Ruby fights Roman and Neo while Ironwood joins Glynda and Qrow on the battlefield below. The students fight Atlesian Paladins while Blake confronts Adam in the school's cafeteria, leading to a showdown between Yang and Adam.

Meanwhile, in the secret vault, Ozpin, Jaune and Pyrrha attempt to transfer Amber's Aura to Pyrrha... and Cinder shows up.

Team RNJR find the aftermath of a massacre. Weiss is cornered by her father, and Ruby discovers a sad truth.

Weiss performs at the charity concert but remains critical of all the attendees and guests for their shallow and dismissive behavior towards Beacon. At the after party, she is enraged upon hearing a woman mock the Fall of Beacon and inadvertently summons a Boarbatusk. In Mistral, Team RNJR comes across an abandoned town called Oniyuri. Before they can leave, Tyrian ambushes them and is revealed to be a scorpion Faunus. He easily defeats them but is stopped in time by Qrow.

Cinder trains and Tyrian loses control. Weiss attempts an escape, Blake resolves to reclaim what is hers, and Ren sees a nightmare from the past.

Our heroes have finally made it to Atlas, but are they truly as safe as they'd hoped? This shining city in the clouds may be a beacon of hope for Remnant, but it casts a dark shadow...

Arresting people isn’t exactly the best way to make a first impression. However, once the initial shock has worn off, Ruby and her friends learn there’s a lot more to these Ace Ops - and even General Ironwood - than first meets the eye.

Riding the high of completing their first mission in Atlas, the gang is itching to hone their skills and provide some much-needed help to the citizens of Mantle.

Between missions, training, and rising political unrest, these fledgling huntsmen and huntresses have quite a lot on their hands.

After constant missions and vigorous training sessions, the kids finally get a night off to relax! But attending a political rally may not be the most leisurely activity

How far would you be willing to go to do what's right?

Jacques and Ironwood engage in a dangerous game of wits. Meanwhile, the kids must face their most dangerous threat yet: a high class dinner party.

Will you tell the truth? Or will someone tell it for you? The answer can make all the difference in the world.

The truth is finally out, and it's not only our heroes who take notice. With everything at stake, it's all hands on deck to protect the City of Mantle

Between Watts, Tyrian, and the seemingly endless swarm of Grimm, evil is encroaching on our heroes from all sides. The biggest threat, however, may be hiding where they least expect it.

Who will you become when your greatest fears are realized

More than ever before, the allied forces standing against Salem need to be united. But after Ironwood refused to continue evacuating Mantle, our heroes need to choose a new path forward -- if only they could agree on one.

The fate of humanity requires our heroes to infiltrate the most heavily-guarded facility in Atlas -- all in a day's work.

This is it. Their chance to tell the world the truth. Will their message be heard?

It's all out war in Atlas. Our heroes face an impossible problem. Where do they go from here?

As the fog of war covers the kingdom, Atlas nears it's breaking point.

Tensions rise in Schnee Manor as our reunited heroes find themselves backed into a corner.

It's risky, dangerous, and nearly impossible -- but it's the best plan they've got.

The best laid plans...

Sometimes it's worth it all to risk the fall.

In which some tea is spilled.
