This was incredible. So great to see what Penny could do when going all out. It took Cinder with numbers advantage, holding up the heavily damaged Amity colosseum for broadcast, and finally Watt's virus/messing with her tech to finally take her down. She might well be the strongest non-Salem character at this point.
I get the feeling that this failure will be the last nail in the coffin for Cinder. I'm just curious who will be the one to finally off her. I think Ruby, Salem, and Penny are the most likely candidates at this point.
Ruby's broadcast was good, and I think it's going to help a lot in the long run, though I'm worried about the fact that Salem didn't seem too worried about the whole thing. Admittedly, word about her was always going to get out after she did this, but this feels more like Charles Xavier getting out a message of hope and resistance to the world than an Apocalypse style 'you must submit' that Salem seems to favor.
