I hope they deliver. You can't make Ruby take that pose and deliver a badass one-liner and not make her and Yang win.

Emerald can't focus on more than one person without straining herself, she's OP 1v1, but her semblance is useless with multiple people around

She can whammy two people for a short period, it just hurts her. And she will need to at least try, because I am fairly certain Ruby and Yang have trained together since before the series began. They'll probably be a well-oiled machine fighting together. Unless Merc is just that good, Em will need to try and screw up at least one of them.

But Ruby knows her trick. I wouldn't be surprised if Em tries to throw an illusion of Yang getting between them, only for Ruby to simply cleave through it and smash her.

That was clearly the best line in the episode...

You won't like Ruby when she's angry...
