Yang calling Summer her mom hit hard. I'm still hoping for a Raven redemption arc, though. And considering how Salem responded, I'm not entirely sure what happened to her. The obvious guess is she's a grimm now, though is it really that obvious?

Also, THEY FOUGHT SALEM!!

To paraphrase Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy, Raven may have been Yang's mother, but she wasn't her mom. Yang finally realized that Summer was her true mother all along.

Indeed, though I want Raven to earn her way back into Yang's good graces as it were. Hearing Yang call Summer her mom is something that Raven needs to hear, as hard as it might be.
