I think her V4 behaviour is explained by the fact that she was hurt. For a person like Cinder, when you're hurt you don't run around with the same cocky smugness that got you hurt, especially in a place where there are people who have made their dislike of you quite clear (as with Watts). You bide your time, stewing in your anger, and work on getting back into shape so that when you're at strength again you can get back at them.

Notice she hijacked the plan despite Watts' protests in V5? Watts couldn't really do anything about it either beyond talk, and she knew that.
