He also looks directly at the phone when he removes it, so there is no excuse for him not knowing. The same chess piece on Cinder's screen. He's obviously aware of something, and this may be solid evidence. I'm pretty sure the image of the Black Queen was for us to see and he somehow didn't see it.

His Scroll just got infected right then, and it's the new access point Cinder was talking about, hence her scroll showing an image of a Scroll and a photo of Ironwood on it.
