You could put Rodrigo's inability to carry out his plan. Or you could be obvious and put down the handkerchief and the whole revelation at the end of the play.
If Cassio had died then Othello would have believed fully in Iago and promoted him. Or if Iago's wife didn't reveal that her husband asked her to steal the handkerchief. This is the real point of Iago's downfall

How about: "goes too far in stringing along Roderigo"?
Remember, this is where the whole thing started. Iago and Roderigo begin the play, and it becomes apparent that Iago has been filling Roderigo with false hope of being able to have Desdemona. Iago is siphoning large amounts of cash off Roderigo, under the pretense of buying gifts for Desdemona, but that's another lie.
Ultimately, Roderigo confronts Iago and threatens to confess the entire plot. Obviously, Iago can't have that, and he's forced to kill Roderigo (during the same scene in which Casio is ambushed.
