With this season having only 3 episodes left, I think they'll stumble upon the White Fang hideout by accident, meet a certain faunus with a shotgun-sword, and then chaos ensues.

I mostly agree, but the idea of the Grimm being a hive-mind now is pointless. Now that we know they're sentient and capable of learning, it's possible that the oldest of the Grimm can intimidate lesser Grimm into following suit. Domination in the animal kingdom.

Though, I don't see the Grimm being related to Cinder directly. More as a means to an end, possibly.
