A thought occured after watching Episode 3.

What if Salem, either seeing that she can no longer trust Cinder or finding she has outlived her usefulness, sends out to fight the heroes with the hidden intention of leaving her to die at their hands, taking advantage of any hatred any of the members of RWBY and JNPR may have towards her to further strengthen her Grimm?

Think about it. Ruby and Jaune are both stricken by Pyhhra's death at Cinder's hand and everyone else share their grief at seeing Beacon fall. With Cinder handed to them at on a silver platter, it would be the perfect opportunity for them to take revenge, which could be what Salem could exploit to remove a potential thorn on her side and feed the Grimm with their grief and anger.
