In my honest opinion, the whole Cinder-Neo subplot from V6 should have taken place during this volume. We know that their story takes place 2 weeks after the main cast's V6 events, so it would have made things a bit clearer for the viewer. This would have also ceated an interesting mystery around Cinder when Salem claimed her to be alive. Plus, Cinder finally melting and killing the lady who tried to help her could have been a pretty nice V6 after credits scene.

Inserting Cinder-Neo story in between scenes like in v6 might not have been a good idea, though. It was messy then, and it would be even messier now. But maybe they could have given Cinder and Neo their own episode in the mid volume, show how they left Anima and then nothing until their arrival at the end of the volume or whenever they are going to drop in. No, what should have happened is Cinder should have stayed dead. Cinder's power pursuit ending at the hands of a more powerful opponent (bigger fish in the ocean) was the perfect end to her arc.  And more importantly:
