I was thinking something along the lines of one of those situations I mentioned, or something similar, happens, and she starts to think the only thing she can do is go back to the White Fang or find a way to leave. For her to kill someone, or almost kill someone... that would be dark. Come to think of it, Winter is in town. Do you think Mr. Schnee will be coming? Woah, that's even darker than I was thinking. Like, I was pondering that Roman may escape as part of Cinder's plan and then Blake would again fight him only this time kill him. The first time they met she certainly had that killer instinct going and the way she put her blade up against his throat definitely had that element of murderous intent, but he kind of whupped her butt in the end. In the second instance, she managed to pull out a whole bunch of tricks, defeat Roman, and put a blade to his throat again. She definitely looked like she might do something, but then Weiss got knocked into the train car and she went with the classic "no time to think about killing you, but I will knock you out at least" move. Blake gets a blade to his throat a third time under circumstances where she is under the impression that "no cage can stop him" and she may just follow through on it.

Bearing in mind, she had left before they started on either of those because she thought they were doing the wrong thing. I can't see a character who purposefully turned away to do good apparently withought any outside prompting turning round and falling even further back again, especially not while surrounded by teammates who would try to stop her. It just seems stupid at this stage. Not suggesting it would be without outside prompting. The circumstances would have to make it understandable to the audience. If she were exposed as a former assassin of the White Fang that would challenge the trust her team put in her and if she killed someone in cold blood, no matter how deserving it may seem, that would practically tank her reputation with them or at the very least make her feel too ashamed of herself to be with them anymore. Easy for that and her old ties to Adam to push her towards the White Fang again. More pressure could come in the form of heightened tensions and outright conflict between the White Fang and human kingdoms. Feels as if part of the reason for Cinder working with the White Fang is to spark a new war between the Faunus and humans. You have Atlesian fleets hovering over Vale as the White Fang are sowing conflict. Just incite some disturbances with the Faunus populace and should the massive Atlesian force use excessive force it could spark a general uprising.
