just binged the last three episodes (7-9) and i feel i have to point out that other than the flashbacks of ep 7 everything you are seeing of the bad guys wins are occuring during aproximately a days time frame. Add to that that the wins are because of Emerald's ability to cloud the mind of her who she concentrates on and because Ruby was unarmed when facing Mercury.
and then we end ep 9 with all the unseen previous preplanning working for the bad guys at least in the short term.
lets not count the villains chickens before they are quite hatched
