Making it seem like Vernal was the Spring Maiden had the out-of-universe purpose of having a plot twist and the in-universe purpose of fooling people like Cinder.

I'm pretty sure they don't have an in- or out-of-universe purpose for making us think, through cinematography and characters' reactions, that Caroline was referring mostly to Blake.
