Found another theory on RT forums about that ending. What we saw is not Weiss actually being impaled, it's actually Jaune's foresight in action, seeing exactly what Cinder has planned. So there's still a chance he can stop it. He moves in to block Cinder's path, who hurls her fire spear nonetheless. It hits Jaune, and his Semblance activates and sends it right back to her. Stunned at being struck by her own spear, Cinder is then heavily assaulted by a raging Jaune, who adds a few more gashes to her face, slices off the ptrified part of her arm, and possibly breaks her Aura. At that point Cinder just snaps, and starts unleashing her full power, intent on decimating Jaune along with the whole academy building. Honestly I can see this happening, especially since we've seen how Cinder responds when her ego is bruised. Can't wait for Episode 12.
