So that whole conversation about Summer definitely had a strong sense of her not really being dead. Either everyone assumes she is dead because she never came back or they found something that made them think she died when she really is alive. Given how Maria went into hiding after she was attacked by Silver Eyes hunters, I kind of think Summer did the same for more altruistic reasons. The events up to this point could be foreshadowing this being the case.

However, this is also something of a death flag at the same time. You can't just have a character everyone thinks is dead, reveal the character is alive, and there be no consequences. Either she ends up killed off for real on-screen in unambiguous fashion or she actually survives and someone else close to Ruby such as Qrow or Taiyang ends up taking the kill intended for her. Taiyang would actually be more suitable and potentially something that could get Raven to stop hiding.
