History Recap / RWBYV6E2Uncovered

* RantInducingSlight: After the protagonists start demanding answers from Ozpin as a result of the latest example of him hiding critical information from them, he answers everything they throw at him calmly but forcefully. However, when Yang tells him that he needs to trust them and that they won't stop trusting him or being loyal just because he's told them the truth, his temper finally snaps: he angrily tells them that Leo once promised the exact same thing as Yang but eventually betrayed him anyway, and while he's not claiming they will definitely betray him, his experience is too great for him to risk revealing his secrets to anyone any more.

* StunnedSilence: As Ozpin tries explaining that he has reasons for keeping secrets, they argue about Professor Lionheart's betrayal being covered up; Yang insists that they're in this together, so he can share the truth with them because they'll never turn their back on him. Ozpin demands to know if they really think that Leo was the first, and all the heroes can do is stand in silence as Ozpin reveals that Leo once said the exact same words Yang had just stated.

* WasItAllALie: When Ruby realises that Ozpin doesn't trust her, or any of them, to carry the Relic of Knowledge, she asks him if his faith in humanity meant everyone other than the very group who was risking their lives to help him get the Relic to Atlas. Ozpin tries to claim that she's misunderstood and he just feels the Relic is his burden to bear, but the girls blow him off.

* NeverBeHurtAgain: After Yang suggests to Ozpin that telling the truth won't make the heroes trust him any less or stop being loyal to him, Ozpin reveals that Leo once said the same thing but still betrayed him. He reveals that Leo wasn't even the first. Thus, he no longer trusts anyone with his secrets.
* NotQuiteDead: To end their battle, Raven tossed Cinder over the cliff edge and encased her in ice. However, the bottom of the chasm is filled with water. When Cinder regains consciousness, she's drowning in the water, surrounded by chunks of melting ice. She manages to drag herself to shore but is so exhausted from the fight and almost drowning that she can barely stand or summon magic. It is her Grimm arm's natural strength that enables her to escape from the cavern.

* NeverBeHurtAgain: After Yang suggests to Ozpin that telling the truth won't make them trust him any less or stop being loyal to him, Ozpin reveals that Leo once said exactly the same thing but still ended up betraying him. He then reveals that Leo wasn't even the first. Thus, he no longer trusts anyone with his secrets. Once the team asks Jinn to disclose Ozpin's secrets, Ozpin tries charging at Ruby, but Jinn intervenes.

* NeverBeHurtAgain: When Yang suggests to Ozpin that him telling them the truth about what's happening won't make them trust him any less or stop being loyal to him, he reveals that Leo once said exactly the same thing but still ended up betraying him. He then reveals that Leo wasn't even the first. As a result, he doesn't trust anyone with his secrets any more. When the team decide to ask Jinn for full disclosure on what Ozpin is hiding, Ozpin loses all self-control and charges at Ruby to stop her. Only Jinn's intervention stops him.

Ozpin demands to know if they really think that Leo was the first and everything stops. Only the wind howls and the snow swirls in the silence that follows. Ozpin faces them, revealing that Leo had once said the exact same words Yang had just stated, while they stand silently.

* OhCrap: Ozpin remains in control while attempting to justify his secrecy to the girls, even while suffering a RantInducingSlight after being asked to be more trusting with them. However, once he suddenly realizes he is no longer holding the Relic of Knowledge, he panics. When Ruby mentions that she saw it had fallen and picked it up, she clearly thinks she's solving Ozpin's concern. However, it only makes him more nervous. He becomes increasingly agitated when the group becomes suspicious about his insistence that he carry it instead of Ruby.

* SelfDeprecation: Of the behalf of the producers. A flashback showing the group planning their journey to Atlas where Weiss bemoans that she has to return to the very kingdom she struggled to escape in the first place. Nora tries to cheer her up by pointing out the bright side to the journey: finally escaping the house they're staying in. It's an in-joke reference to the fandom's biggest complaint that most of Team RNJR's storyline in Volume 5 was confined to that house.

Ozpin demands to know if they really think that Leo was the first and everything stops. The camera close-up jerks back to a long-shot of the entire group, the heroes stop arguing with him, they stop walking and even the music stops. Only the wind howls and the snow swirls in the silence that follows. Ozpin then turns to face them, revealing that Leo had once said the exact same words Yang had just stated, while they stand still, utterly silent.
-->'''Yang''': Look, we're supposed to be in this together! You can trust us! We're not going to turn our backs on you.\\
'''Ozpin''': Do you really think Leo was the first?! That he didn't say those exact same words to me?!

* MuggedForDisguise: Cinder makes it out of the Vault of the Spring Maiden, only to collapses from exhaustion. A passer-by spots her and approaches to see if Cinder needs help. Cinder instead kills the woman and steals both her clothing and her money.

* ItIsDehumanizing: Ozpin knows full well that the Relic is a female entity named Jinn. However, until that secret is revealed, he refers to the Relic as 'it' to maintain the illusion that the Relic is just an object that happens to have some power.

* MuggedForDisguise: When Cinder makes it out of the Vault of the Spring Maiden, she collapses to the ground, exhausted. A passer-by spots her and approaches to see if Cinder needs help. Cinder instead kills the woman and steals both her clothing and her money.

* IResembleThatRemark: When their train crashes, Yang complains about the situation and sums up how bad it is by concluded that they've ended up with a defenseless old lady. Maria objects to being called defenseless — but then acknowledges that she's hard of hearing and blind without her artificial eyes, which don't work properly. She concludes that she can see Yang's point, after all.
-->'''Maria''': My name is Maria Calavera, and I am ''not'' defenseless! I'm just a little hard of hearing. And [[BlindWithoutEm blind]] without [[ElectronicEyes my eyes]], that are in desperate need of repair... Okay, I'm starting to see your point.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After the train taking them to Argus crashes, Yang struggles to pull her motorbike out of a snowdrift while complaining about the state of their situation. They have to travel by foot through heavy snow to the city of Argus because the Relic of Knowledge that they're trying to take to General Ironwood for safe-keeping was attracting the Grimm to the train full of people that they were travelling. However, of all the problems they have, Yang ends up focussing on the little old lady that crashed with them.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: A few:
** First is when Yang tells Ozpin that they won't turn their backs on him:
-->'''Ozpin:''' Do you really think [[TheMole Leo]] was the first!? That he didn't say those exact same words to me!?
** And then when Ruby is holding the Relic of knowledge:
-->'''Ruby:''' So, all that time you were talking about having faith in humanity - that was just for everyone else?
-->'''Ozpin:''' That's not what I meant to suggest.
** And finally, Ruby asks Jinn a question that causes Ozpin to completely lose his self-control:
-->'''Ruby:''' What is Ozpin hiding from us?
-->'''Ozpin:''' '''''[[BigNo NO!]]'''''

-->'''Yang''': Great! This is just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party, and we've gained a defenseless old lady!

* WhiteVoidRoom: After Jinn has been asked what Ozpin is hiding, her method of answering the question is to isolate Team RWBY and Qrow from each other. Each one finds themselves alone in a completely white void. From the void form the illusions that play out the story Jinn is about to tell.

* WhamLine: "Once upon a time, there stood a lonely tower that sheltered a lonely girl... named Salem."

'''Volume 6, Episode 2:'''

'''Yang:''' No, we're past that! I wanna know why you're still not telling us everything!

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Ozpin tries to explain that he has reasons for keeping secrets, Yang insists that he can share with them because they will never turn their back on him... only for her and the rest of Team RWBY to be shocked speechless when Ozpin reveals that Professor Lionheart said the exact same thing only to betray him to Salem, and he wasn't the first to do so.
-->'''Ozpin:''' Do you really think [[TheMole Leo]] was the first? That he didn't say those exact words to me?!

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Ozpin tries to explain that he has reasons for keeping secrets, Yang insists that he can share with them because they will never turn their back on him. When they realise that they're not the first people to have promised him that, they're left speechless.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: A variation, it's more than clear that Ozpin's refusal to trust anyone with the truth (based on past betrayals) are ''why'' no one trusts him and why the team is forced to get the information through other means, because he won't stop lying to them even when the lies serve no purpose or endanger hundreds of lives.

!!This episode contains examples of:

* OhCrap: Ozpin remains in control while attempting to justify his secrecy to the girls, even while suffering a RantInducingSlight after being asked to be more trusting with them. However, once he suddenly realizes he is no longer holding the Relic of Knowledge, he panickedly asks where the Relic is, and becomes increasingly nervous and panicked when asking Ruby to hand it over to him, not even bothering to justify his reasons for doing so.
