Emerald's hallucinations can be resisted or each time she did them they would have be as well made as the first time she made that obvious kid hallucination. Amber dropped the ball on that. WTF? Random kid, no parents in fight, riding a bike alone, and crying in the middle of the road you happen to be travel. Come the fuck on? Does her semblance also make people less genre savy and suspicious? If I was there I would say "Amber, hold on. You know people are after you for your power. Don't stop. Look around for parents. If there are none, leave."

I don't underestimate Cinder. I just know her victories have piled up and now it's time for a loss. What villain does anyone know of that always wins all the way thru the whole show to the last episode and THEN and only THEN do they lose? Cinder barely loss to Ruby and that was do to a power barely explained. We didn't even see it burn her body. And if it frozen the Dragon why did it burn Cinder? Was it frost bite? Silver Eye power is unknowable and they know it. They just wanted Nikos to die for drama and then have the scene end. But oh wait, Ruby's the lead, so better have her Supergirl finish the last boss with Heat Ray Shannigan shinanigans (LOL) and Bada-Boom, she wakes up in bed with no memory of her OP power and no one to teach it to her.

Now fast forward to end of Season 4. Cinder is training, getting better. Obsessed with getting even because her precious pride has been oh-so trampled upon. The diva who wanted power at all cost and likes bitch-slapping street urchins is given a rude awakening that her quest for power didn't make her invincible. This has weakened her mentally. Now with this oh-so-heavy axe to grind on Ruby she is weaker than she was when she was focus and callculating and getting the job done with cold precision.
