The murder wasn't shown, so Tuxon might be able to survive his supposedly fatal injuries just yet.

Scarlet's either a chuunibyou or obsessed with astrology/fortune-telling/the kind.

Roman might end up closer to Cinder's children than he'd thought, or like.

Phase 2 seems pretty simple to me, actually. With little Dust, the city become far more defenseless than it usually was. This means that Cinder will be able to create the situations she wants without interruption or opposition.
