So imagine what Summer, a profesional, 30+ times more powerful Huntress than Ruby, and who we can expect to have known how to use her powers by the time of her "death", could do. First of all. When was it stated that a Maiden's power is stronger in their corresponding season? I don't recall hearing that anywhere. Also we don't know Cinder's fate at this time, and in her defense she was caught completely off guard.

Just because Summer has great power and knows how to use it, doesn't mean she's invincible. We also don't know enough about the SEWs at this time to judge their capabilities compared to regular huntsman and huntresses. The fact is, we don't know what happened on that mission that led to her supposed death. We don't know how she died. If she was only fighting Grimm then I'd agree with you. But there are a lot of possible ways she could've died. Maybe she was betrayed. Maybe an assassin blindsided her. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Salem was the one responsible for her death, directly or indirectly.

Personally, if Summer is still alive, I would prefer it if she was captured and imprisoned all this time.
