Well, this doe ties back to the topic. If Cinder's Maiden powers are now with her the traditional way, then the prospect of Salem killing her is much less. Until Salem has the Relic from Beacon, she will want to keep hold of the Fall Maiden powers. The possibility that the Grimm might be keeping them with Cinder was there before Amber died, but less so after she died. Any scenario where Salem kills Cinder has to allow for a transfer of her powers that Salem can control.
