The crippling weakness that Salem mentioned is what confuses me. Being a maiden somehow makes you vulnerable to silver eyes? At first I thought this connected the maidens to the grimm in some way, but this is unlikely as the Dragon suffered completely different effects to Cinder (Being turned to stone, whereas Cinder shares properties with a burn victim). Don't forget that the way Cinder stole Amber's Maiden powers was through using a glove that contained a Grimm and then letting that glove absorb into her body.

It's possible that Cinder now has a Grimm inside of her, but since she's not completely a Grimm, the silver eye flash didn't petrify her.
