They don't need a threat to justify a change in alignment. All it requires is for someone such as Emerald to have a crisis of conscience over what they are doing. Basically, Emerald turns soft because maybe she actually let herself get close to one of the people they are targeting and then can't follow through when ordered. Maybe it even builds off something like the IP user above suggested. Perhaps Cinder scolds Emerald rather harshly for not following orders correctly and reluctantly informs someone on the team about it in a vague sense and then feels reluctant to hurt them. She then defies orders to hurt that person, perhaps because she is impulsive as the IP user suggested, and then finds herself forced to be in opposition to Cinder.
