I can't exactly see how Ren would end up in that situation. Maybe a suicide to prevent Salem from taking control of him, or something like that. Then again, all the bending over backwards it would take to get this to work kind of discredits this theory.

I feel like there's going to be a theme of defying destiny later on, or at lest Ozpin's plans, and I think avoid heroic sacrifices like this could be part of it.
