But Salem wants Vernal alive, making Emerald the new Maiden was not part of the agenda. Unless Cinder is possibly trying to double-cross Salem at this juncture (which would be really stupid on her part). My guess is either Cinder pulls a victory out of her rectum, or Raven uses a portal so Vernal can escape while she holds off Salem's happy bunch. The rest of the tribe, yeah, they're burnt toast.
