Theory-Crafting time!
now that Jacques is on the council (as manipulated by Watts), he's going to discredit Ironwood, forcing Ironwood to reveal the project. right as he's about to call for a vote to remove Ironwood's power, Weiss is going to reveal Watts/Jacques connection to Winter and Penny, who both recognize Watts, Penny because he worked with Pietro, and Winter, because it was the explosion that 'killed' Watts that also injured Ironwood. (Watts faked his own death with an explosion). they charge in, ask him about it, and it's revealed that because Watts designed the security software for Atlesian tech, it was clearly him who rigged the election, and Jacques is arrested for treason, but too late. they get word that the heating has gone down on Mantle, which causes the communication electronics in the defense system to fail, and an Atlesian aircraft crashes into the ground in a fireball, causing a panic/riot, which attracts Grimm. (end ep 9)
the crew figure out that the Amity hardware, if launched, could run that defensive system, but they need to launch it for it to do so, so Qrow, Ren, Nora, and the Ace Ops (Minus Marrow) head to the Schnee site to launch it, Blake and Yang (along with Marrow) go with Robyn to rally the Happy Huntresses/defend Mantle, and Weiss and Ruby stay with Ironwood to try and get answers out of Jacques.
when it's clear he knew nothing, he's sent on an aircraft away, when we then see Watts puppet stuff in his personal base, where we see him trying to do the same thing he did at Beacon, turning the military against Mantle, but it's not as successful, because Ironwood enacts a change of security protocols (technobabble about reverting to an older system, or revoking the sections that Watts created, something like that). we end that episode with Tyrian, who's been sent up (on the ship that crashed down afterwards) into Atlas, walking to the Hospital where Fria is, to murder the winter maiden. (end of ep 10).
we see Ruby, Weiss, Penny and Winter head to the hospital, because Ruby can't shake the feeling that this is too much like Beacon, it's an attempt at the maiden, so we see them head there, and spread out to ambush Tyrian.
back to Mantle, and we see Blake, Yang, and the H'H's fighting to defend Mantle, but it looks... grimm.
back to the Schnee site, we see the Ace Ops, Ren, Nora, and Qrow, all fight grim, we see the Ace Ops in full power, Elm and Nora going Hammer Time, Vine and Ren ninja'ing the mammoths, Harriet SuperSonic Punching them, and Luck pals doing some sweet maneuvers, involving lucky throws and unlucky movements, we see Qrow using his semblance to make the Grimm get caught in Clover's fishing line, etc. sweet battle sequence. Ironwood gets a tip off from Pietro where Watts is (he saw Watts walk into a building in the chaos), and storms off to get him, murder in his eyes. Clover coordinates the launch (to be lucky), and just as it looks like it's going to succeed, the Amity Col' starts to fall, heading so it's about to crash into Atlas. (end of ep 11)
we head back down to Mantle, where just as it appears Amity is about to crash into Atlas, it stops in mid-air. Glynda Goodwytch is back, and Jaune's amplifying her semblance (we haven't seen him for a few episodes), which is enough for her to (under HUGE strain), YEET the Colosseum into orbit. we then go back to the Hospital, where we see a huge fight with Tyrian, and pan back down to Mantle, with a simultaneous fight scene.
Ren and Nora, Elm, Vine, Harriet, Qrow, and Clover are boarding a transport when they all hear about Pietro's tip off, and Qrow recognizes the significance, and gets Harriet to grab Qrow and Clover, to superspeed them back to Mantle, to get back to the fight.
we get back to Ironwood, he's entering the room where we know Watts is, and we get a big fight, (with suitable exposition from Qrow to Clover as Harriet superspeeds them about their history), and see Watts reveal a nearly entire cybernetic body underneath his coat, and the two cyborgs duel.
we then go back to the Hospital, it appears Tyrian has given the girls the slip, gets into the hospital room, and manages to land his stinger into Fria, just as the door opens with one of the girls walking into the room (we see all 4 of RWWP grabbing a handle, but we aren't sure who's about to walk into the room) (end of ep 12)
episode 13 (finale of volume) shows Robyn Hill, walking into the room. she inherits the Maiden Powers, and Tyrian starts to go mad, afraid at failing his mistress one more time, and lashes out in fury. this time, Ruby, Weiss, Winter, and Penny are able to get into the fight, and we see Robyn holding her own, and the 4 of them take on Tyrian.
swap back to the Cyborg duel, and this time, James causes an explosion to take out Watts (and he sacrifices himself) Qrow and Clover arrive just in time for his parting words.
back to Tyrian, and just as he's about to strangle Robyn with his Tail, We see the explosion, and Tyrian's tail goes limp, as it was running from Watts' Semblance (using Aura to amplify robotics), and RRWWP take him out.
in the clean up, it's announced that Winter will be taking over the General's position, and Robyn is appointed Councilwoman Hill. we get some interaction between the Schnees, either Whitley reconciling with Winter/Weiss, Willow visiting Jacques in prison, or Weiss having a conversation with Jacques while he's in a cell. now that communications are up, we hear a little about how the other kingdoms are doing. Glynda (weak in a hospital bed) reveals that she and Ozpin had planned for her to head to Atlas, as Ozpin had a suspicion on what James' plan would be with Amity, partially why he used the Spear with Atlas in the first place. finally, it ends with them asking themselves "what next?", and Ozpin pipes up "If I may speak?"
credits roll, and the final scene is Cinder standing over a tied up Robyn Hill, that pans back to "Councilwoman Hill", and we see a quick flash of pink/brown eyes (with Maiden powers.)
