Who here thinks that Blake was worrying about a nothingburger for the second time in a row, after Volume 2? That's one of the lowlights of the episode.

Also, I have sincere doubts that Cinder is going to die. First, the thing that shatters her mask was a Maiden blast, not something that sucks up Maiden power. So far, Grimm parts suck up Maiden powers. This means that Cinder still has the Maiden power to thaw herself out, and guess what - she can still fly, just like she did in that elevator shaft at the end of Volume 3.

But let's assume Cinder did die right then and there. I will be so mad, because not only does this rob us of a possibility of a greater nuance behind her motivations besides generic egomaniac, but that she was written simply as a straw villain, an obstacle that went down so quickly, there would be no point to trying to have villains oppose the heroes, for their journey against Salem would be oh so ridiculously easy with her demise.
