S03E08 - Destiny

As a result of the incident after the match, Yang and Team RWBY are disqualified from the tournament. Yang's teammates and Team JNPR declare their support for Yang, although Blake remains conflicted; she reveals that a man she once knew changed from a kind person to a cold-hearted one in a situation similar to Yang, before similarly deciding to trust her. After they leave, Qrow arrives, having come to the conclusion that Yang suffered from a stress-induced hallucination. He confirms that Yang's mother was the one to save her during her fight with Neo and that she has no intention of doing so again. Qrow then offers to help her track her down. Meanwhile, Jaune finds Pyrrha in distress over Ozpin's request, and she asks him if he believes in destiny. She explains that she considers destiny to be an overarching goal one works towards their whole life, and that she has been offered a chance to fulfill her destiny to be a Huntress and save the world immediately at the cost of who she is. Jaune advises Pyrrha not to let anything get between her and her destiny, driving her to tears; she accidentally assaults Jaune, apologizes, and flees. Ruby encounters Velvet practicing her photography, and Velvet expresses her sympathy for Yang; she reveals that Coco also had a hallucination of Yatsuhashi during their fight with Emerald and Mercury. Suspicious, Ruby attends the next match between Pyrrha and Penny, where she sees Emerald in attendance. Ruby sneaks under the arena and encounters a fully mobile Mercury; she prepares to battle him, despite having left her weapon behind.
