The first episode of the new volume kicks off with a splash as Teams RWBY and JNPR take over the hall for a food fight.

While Professors Ozpin and Goodwitch discuss General Ironwood's fleet of ships, Team RWBY play board games in the library. Meanwhile, Haven Academy's students have started to arrive...

Combat training sees Team CRDL take on Pyrrha Nikos while the villains take an interest in her abilities. Meanwhile, Jaune struggles to convince Weiss to take his feelings seriously. And on top of that, Blake is becoming increasingly tired.

While Team RWBY prepare for the school ball, Ruby worries about Blake's state of health. Yang, however, has a plan for dealing with Blake that she is certain will succeed.

While everyone enjoys the school dance, Ruby and Jaune struggle to fit in. Ruby's problem is solved when she spots a villain that is up to no good while Jaune solves his by honouring a rather unorthodox promise he made.

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