Am I the only person with this idea?

Plot-Wise. Why do you think that Maria tells Ruby that her father told her to keep her abilities hidden, because he suspected that they were being destroyed because of their abilities?

It's topical to the conversation they were having, in that they suspect Salem knows of these warriors, and is actively disappearing them.

But I think this goes further, they set up a question, and answer, and a further complication.

Further complication which means that Ruby will possibly be hunted specifically because of her eyes.

But...we already know another silver-eyed character. One that already went missing: Summer

This might be nothing at all, or it might be a big plot point. I don't think it's likely that this conversation is directed only at telling a story of Maria's youth. And I'm not sure how much of a problem Ruby thinks this is to her, granted that she knows that she was already pretty high on Salem's shit list, that much hasn't changed.

But it's her secondary reaction, or non-reaction, in this case that concerns me. Her mother was a SEW, she knows this. SEW's are being hunted, almost undeniably by Salem or her proxies. Summer went missing and never returned. I would believe this is a pretty good hint that this is what has happened (though we won't be sure what happened exactly until they tell us).

Either Ruby doesn’t realize this, or she doesn't vocalize this. I would believe that Ruby would share more about her mother if she did. Especially because of the layover time in the later episodes.
