"Alright, guys, today's the day! The investigation begins!"

— Ruby Rose

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

This episode contain examples of:

Pedestrian Crushes Car: Penny saves Ruby from an oncoming truck by pushing her out of the way and then stopping the truck with her bare hands. The truck gets away with only a dented hood, and Penny is uninjured save for the skin on her hands being shredded, revealing metal underneath.
The Reveal: Penny fleeing the Atlas military and having the skin of her hands scraped when she stops a van that crashes into her forces her to come clean to Ruby and the audience about who she is: a robot, and Remnant's first inanimate object to be successfully given Aura.
Robotic Reveal: When Penny stops a van that is about to run into her, the skin is scraped off her hands to reveal metal underneath. She is forced to confess to Ruby and the audience that she is a robot.
Theme Naming: The Schnee family, apparently, since Weiss Schnee ("white snow") is revealed to have a sister named Winter.

Penny: You're my friend, right? You promise you're my friend?!
Ruby: I promise.
