I thought about it once, but I later changed my mind since it might cause a rift on storytelling about one certain character that will reveal her true self by the very end of story, which will be carried into Firenza Junior since she will make her appearance there as well.

Besides, the entire episode is about how Ichabod and Abbie would start using strategies to chain the Headless Horseman, and the return of Christine & Andy. If I split them into half, I'm worried that it will break its intense mood. However, I may reconsider it as a last resort.

Actually, the NEXT Death Arc episode is splited into two halves comparing to its original episode, since it conveyed much more plots and conflicts than the original. It will also shift the perspective on Jenny and Irving, who will join the party soon.

Yeah, that's the problem about RWBY in spite of me enjoying it... I actually finds Volume 4 pretty well, but Volume 5 is rather underwhelming comparing to the first three volumes. I mean, I liked Yang's storyline about her and Raven's conflict, but the most disappointing parts in my mind are the chracterizations of Cinder and Adam.

In her early apperance, Cinder was a brilliant and callous mastermind in Beacon Arc due to her actions, particularly causing the darkest and saddest moments in the series by invading Beacon and personally killing Pyhrra. But starting from Haven Arc, I guess she just became a power-hungry maniac hellbent on killing Ruby, particularly without any explanation of her motive or past yet.

Yet comparing to Adam's characterization, Cinder is rather tolerable for me since they gave her (and Neo Politan) a second chance to take move. While I'm not really a fan of the character, I came to agreet that Adam lost rather unceremoniously in Volume 5, where the White Fang storyline should have many potentials. He had his conflicts with Blake and Yang primarily, but I guess that Weiss should have conflicts against him, too, considering Adam's role in the White Fang. His start of darkness was also revealed to be him and other Faunus getting enslaved and tormented by Schnee Dust Company, but he was just got killed off by Blake and Yang in Volume 6.

In fact, the whole subplot surrounding the White Fang and Adam are really disappointing, with Sienna Khan getting killed in just one episode of her apperance, and the White Fang terrorists being taken down in one episode, while Adam cowardly fled after Sun and Blake defeated him. Shame.

To be honest, I still watch RWBY to honor its late creator, Monty Oum, and the efforts of his team that still work on the project. I personally think that the past story of Ozpin and Salem, and the introduction of the Apathy Grimms, are some of the highlights in Volume 6, though I rather feel disappointed about how Qrow was handled in Volume 6, besides Adam. I can only hope that the Volume 7 will have a more composed narrative that makes less unnessesary OOC moments as possible, since Team RWBY might have quite a fight in Atlas.
