DEM = deus ex machina.

But in my eyes it's robbing the bank and then staying in the bank to shoot cops because you have them out-gunned. I know at the time Cinder was OP but why chance it. Did she want to sadistically frolic and bask in her evilness? Once the Dragon was out and about shittin' out Grimm. She should've snatched up Em and Merc and peaced out. Staying and whispers sweet nothings to a flying lizard on a tower was not ideal. Nikos found her, which stalled her more. And she almost got the upperhand on Cinder were it not for the Dragon blowing glass around. I get she had to kill Nikos once she found the dragon to stop her from killing it (even if slim a chance). But it backfired and lost her a eye and some internal damage.

I'm wondering if this was suppose to hint at Cinder's weakness. Maybe she gets overconfidence and drops her guard or miscalculates once she's stacked a lot of victories up.
