* RealityEnsues: Neo can't open her umbrella while on the outside of the ship, as the winds would drag it, and her, right into freefall. So Ruby opens it for her. The episode also uses this to demonstrate how each of Team RWBY [[CharacterDevelopment have developed over time]]:
** The episode is a callback to Ruby's motivations in ''The Shining Beacon, Pt. 2''. She heroically launches herself up to the hijacked ship and takes on Roman and Neo herself. However, she's completely unmatched and nearly killed. Roman not only mocks her idealism, but is stopped by a Grimm, ''not'' her.
** Weiss was originally driven by upholding her family name, overly focused little details in combat, and was utterly self-centered. However, she was able activate her summoning Semblance by ''selflessly'' rushing in to defend another student - a Faunus, no less - and did so entirely on instinct.
** Blake's goal of gaining equality and peace is thrown back in her face; such lofty concepts aren't easily attained, especially when others like Adam are actively fighting against it. Rather than using her Semblance for mere evasion, she uses it to ''defend'' Yang. Despite her determination ''not'' to run again, she is ultimately forced to do so.
** Yang wanted to be a Huntress not to be a hero, but for the adventure. She stated that she wants, "a life where I won't know what tomorrow will bring." [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor She's got it now; Vale has descended into chaos]]. Her fiery, straightforward approach to battle has cost her dearly; there was no last-minute save from her mother this time, and her fighting style will never be the same again.

* BerserkButton: Blake being stabbed causes Yang to scream furiously and instantly enter fury mode.



** Velvet mimics other people's weapons and fighting styles. As a result, almost every single attack she delivers is a call back to the original users at different times of the series. From Trailers to the Volumes.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Blake's torso isn't clearly seen after Adam stabs her there, making it ambiguous as to whether her Aura absorbed it and she was just pained, or if she was maimed like Yang was.



* OffhandBackhand: When Adam slowly walks to pursue an injured Blake carrying an unconscious Yang, a Creep tries to jump on him, only to get sliced without Adam even bothering to look at it.

* ShaggyDogStory: Ultimately, despite spending the better part of half a season agonising over the idea of [[LossOfIdentity sacrificing her identity]] in order to save the world, Pyrrha never becomes the Fall Maiden, as Amber is killed during the middle of the power transfer by Cinder, who absorbs the rest of her power. Just to add salt to the wound, Ozpin tells her to get the rest of his posse, since she'll only get in the way now.
