This looks more like a to-be-balanced pack rather than a bad cell.

I did experienced a bad cell that can never be charged to 4.2V, it stops at 4.07V while all other cells reaches 4.20V no matter how I charge it. I tried charge the bad cell individually through the balance tag, it maitained 4.07V and generate heat. This is a sign that the cell is destroyed, it refuses to convert electric energy into chemical form, but into heat. You know good lipo never heat up when charged.
