as a matter of note, Roman's popularity with the writers etc are the only reason we saw him beyind Episode one. He was supposed to be a minor villain who they rewrote to be part of Cinder's plot just so they could have more of him. I was expecting his death in Ep 11 (just not quite that exact death), simply because with Cinder's plan approaching an apparent endgame he was rappidly running out of usefulness at a time when mortality was running high.

Of course, Neo is even more expendable; she was a late Vol 2 addition when they worked out Roman needed some kind of henchperson or hired help while the rest of the villains were in Beacon. I don't know whether this means they'll use her again or not. I'm leaning towards yes becuase she's an established, popular character, who is ambiguous enough to reappear under almost any circumstance.

One thing that I think is obvious but I'll spell it out anyway, is that if we ever see any bit of her again it'll be because she survived and is reappearing. There's no efficient way to confirm her death at this point, and it would be so much more fun from a writing point of view to simply have her last scene be her vanishing into the night, with almost everything about her, survival chances included, unknown and never explained.
