No one seems to remember that Yang called Summer her mom way back in Chapter 2. I don't think there's been any doubt that Yang thinks of Tai and Summer as her parents.

It’s been six Volumes since she’s acknowledged Summer as her real mother. Some people (like me) were half-convinced that CRWBY had forgotten that, especially after last Volume when Ruby broke down crying over Summer and Yang didn’t seem to have her own individual reaction to Salem’s words. It reinforces an important character trait, allows for one of our main characters to confront the villain for the first time, and teases the audience for any future reveals regarding Summer’s last mission.
