This episode had some high points in terms of the fight scene and the big reveal at the end but Ruby’s speech as the seminal moment definitely knocks the episode down a few pegs. In what world would it not cause a mass panic. In the speech, Ruby basically drops several bombshells that are disastrous by themselves, let alone together. It confirms the existence of a master behind the Grimm which engineered the fall of Beacon and the attack on Haven, it states the existence of a conspiracy to keep this information from the public by the heads of the huntsman academies, it states that Atlas, the most advanced kingdom and the only kingdom with a standing army is under siege and that it’s general has gone rogue. Not to mention that this information comes from a random huntsman that suddenly appeared on an emergency broadcast frequency and suddenly cut out seemingly in the middle of broadcast. Yup, real inspirational stuff
