User blog comment:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: Volume 2 episode 5: Extracurricular./@comment-25091485-20140829145736

It was a really interesting episode, allowing us to see more of Pyrrha's emotional conflict and giving her more depth (especially with the semblance thing and how she reacted to Mercury)

Do you think its more likely that Cinder seeks to eliminate the people on the list, recruit them or is it if recruitment fails, elimination follows ?

I personally think that Cinder will be much more subtle with her machinations and only culminating in a full out fight towards the later part of the volume, in other words, she stays in the shadows for now and relies on subterfuge.
