I don't think Cinder failing to make a reappearance means she's dead. We saw Raven break out of ice after being frozen and we know they can basically fly with their abilities. Guess there is the question of how Cinder could have got out, but perhaps she just blasts her way out through the rock. Unlike killing Ozpin, there is undoubtedly no super-secret way to keep her around after she dies. Could be the real solution will be having that Grimm she sort of fused with take her over even more and make her even less human.

What really bothers me is that we still don't have any indication of why Leo betrayed them to Salem. Being a coward doesn't even remotely cut it and he clearly isn't fond of her in any way. He is head of an academy full of huntsmen and huntresses. There was no imminent reason for him to fear being killed by Salem until he sends everyone home. Redemption is off the table, obviously, but it would still be nice if they could give us a more plausible reason then fearing for his own life. Something at the beginning of Volume 6 about how they got Leo to cooperate would be nice.
