Ah, this almost coincides with my theory made post Volume 1 predicting Volume 2 with a few differences.

1) It was Weiss and Blake that's on the outside (not Ruby and Blake as I predicted).

2) It wasn't a case where Penny is hacked and attacked the civilians, but her dismemberment serves a good enough purpose.

3) I predicted a main goal and a hidden one for Cinder, and it will seem that the secondary objective (cause chaos among the people and attract the Grimm, so that the Huntsmen will be distracted) has succeeded, and the main goal seems to be the Maiden's power - it's almost certain that Cinder's group will try to invade the underground now when there's no better opportunity.

But I still think there's a hidden goal. There must be something else Cinder wanted I think.

All in all, this is an epic episode. You can definitely see the movie experience rubbing off RT - the graphic effects actually need to improve (in the future) so they can better depict the chaos presented here.
