I think I got it figured out.

(For those that are yet to watch the later episodes: BIG Spoilers!)

Specifically, the part that confused me was why Abigail agreed to throw a shot at getting the Nether throne and what happened at the end of her fight with Rain.

Naeus needed someone to be crowned the ruler of the Nether so that he could harvest a Nether Star from their corpse when they die. He hand-picked Abigail and waited for her to die in the Overworld. His wish was granted when she was headshot by a skeleton, paving the road for Naeus' plan.

Naeus went to the Overworld, took Abigail's body to the Nether and somehow brainwashed her into developing interest in the Nether's throne. He trains Abigail into killing the competion and winning the crown, then just waits for Rain to kill her.

Then he harvests the Nether Star from her corpse, disposes of it and rises to power.

Am I correct?
