9:23 Oh good observation! I never realized that the episode putting Ruby in charge of the game, with her friends as pawns, was meant to bring to mind the image of Ruby as a leader in the war against Salem-with her decisions each putting her friends at risk.

Hey if you go back to ep 1 and 2, there are hints that the cat has been following them especially in the first scenes with Weiss and blake you see Blake look back as if her cat ears picked up on a noise that human ears can't pick up but Weiss distracts her from investigating.
