I think the death of Ygritte sounds like the most plausible as well as the reveal of "The Boy" as Ramsey Snow, I'd also like to see a shot or two of the aftermath of the Red Wedding and possibly see RobbWind as well as the Frey's throwing Cat's body into the river. I really think the reveal of Lady Stoneheart or the battle at the Wall would be too much to pack into this episode. Other possibilities include:
Samwell meeting Coldhands
Arya getting her sword back.
Hodor saying "Hodor"
Davos being named Stannis's Hand
Balon Greyjoy's Death.
The 3 highlighted sounds very plausible to me, is the letter that Davos gives Stannis in the same scene? I forgot, and they should be going north right after right? --> And fade out! SCENE! c ya next year!

Episode 3.10 – Mhysa
Joffrey challenges Tywin. Bran tells a ghost story. In Dragonstone, mercy comes from strange quarters. Dany waits to see if she is a conqueror or a liberator. (Written by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by David Nutter.)
OK so the speculation is this - We'll have some filler/reaction from the folks in Kings Landing, tensions escalate. Bran meets Sam and Gilly in the Nightfort. He tells the story of The Night's King, which ties into Gilly's baby. Melisandre frees Davos in an unexpected move. We have Dany taking Yunkai and she is greeted by the freed slaves as "Mhysa". Perhaps we'll finally get Coldhands, or we'll get the Stoneheart reveal. I don't think they'll do Balon's death since theres been like no mention of anything Greyjoy lately. We know theres a Theon scene but I doubt we'll get Reek yet either. I just think they'll try to minimize the horrific stuff this episode.

Davos being Stannis' hand has already happened in the series. I do think (and hope) that we'll at least get to see Balon die.
I'm not sure from a director's point of view if I'd want to kill off any important positive characters right after the Red Wedding. So I'm not sure if they will show Ygritte's death just yet.

I like how Michelle Fairley has been giving interviews and even announced a new role right after Cat's death. Little do they know... Which interview had that announcement of a new role? IMDB just has her involved in a couple movies, but most TV actors (especially actors for shows that are on HBO) will do other stuff with their downtime when not filming the show.
I know that PR people sometimes send out press releases to let people know their client has a new role. Those press releases can sometimes be spoiler-ish in that they hint the actor they represent is about to get killed off. It's sort of a "hey, my client is still working" type of thing. The media also does a lot of interviews with the actors that played the killed off characters asking them what's next.
This interview might be amusing because her "new" role is probably what we all think it is.

Davos could possibly smuggle out Gendry to save him too. At the least he should read about what is happening at the wall.

This is most likely what is going to happen since Gendry is replacing edric storm.
Or they might not send him away at all. Have Gendry follow stannis to the wall and have him replace mance rayders son as well.

I do hope they show what they did with Grey Wind and Robb. I can imagine the episode starting off by showing Frey men rounding up corpses of Robb's army and have it finally pan to a shot of Robb impaled with Grey Wind's head sewn on.

Reading through the non-book thread is depressing because it is clear that a lot of show-only watchers are expecting that Daenerys is going to be in Westeros within a couple season. Sadly we all know that's unlikely to happen until at least 4 seasons from now

I think they might have originally planned that, but they got a fuck ton of back lash from people about being too brutal with the pregnant woman stabbing and even just killing the wolf has people talking about animal cruelty and shit(Which is retarded imo but that's a whole nother topic) so they might cut that out of their plans some how and maybe put in a different scene they cut out to kill the time left over.
I hope they don't cut it out because it really hammers home the true brutality of the red wedding. Very interested to see what happens there.

This tickles me to no end, because I dislike Daenerys and will enjoy seeing everyones hopes and dreams crumble as hers do. I enjoyed her POV chapters in the book, but I've never really found much allure in her character; she's one of Martin's more typical" characters and I think his brand of characterization shines when it highlights unusual or unique figures.

Well it's too late to cut anything at this point. I think the backlash and reactions are exactly what HBO is looking for. It creates a lot of buzz and continues the emotional roller coaster that is GOT!

Robb with Greywind's head wasn't ever actually seen in the books by any of the PoV characters. Salladhor Saan tells Stannis and Davos about it after the fact, and Tyrion thinks about how he isn't going to tell Sansa about it later. So not showing it wouldn't be a change.

They like it when she's being a badass in Essos, though. And the good thing about the adaptation is that the writers can take the liberty of adding and or editing her storyline to keep it fresh and exciting.

I, for one, found her likable and her chapters entertaining in books 1-3. It seems many posters here hate her and I'm guessing most of it is because of book 5. I did find myself rooting against her Meereen adventure quickly as I really wanted her to head to Westeros. Most of her book 5 chapters were pointless. I think it was meant to show her learning how to rule, but she seemed a far more capable ruler in book 3 compared to book 5.

Episode 10 is almost certain to end with both Balon and Joffrey's death. Remember the three leeches? No way that they will leave that plotline unfinished for another 9 months.
I personally see no problem with all of the remaining major events of CoK being condensed in this episode. Davos, Ygritte, Coldhands, Balon, Joffrey, Catelyn. That will probably be the approx. sequence / timing of it too.
Season 4 will surely start with the Castle Black storyline, and will end with the big battle & Stannis reveal (episode 40). I agree with episode 39 re: Tyrion.
On a side note, I wonder how Davos will play out. He has not even saved Gendry yet. I would guess that he will free him, get caught, saved by Stannis from execution and made King's Hand over the course of a whirlwind 5-7 minutes.

There are major problems with this condensation, as has already been pointed out numerous times, insofar as the Martells, the entrance of the Red Viper, and the actual sequence of the wedding itself is concerned. The wedding is meant to be the most lavish affair Westeros has seen in years, and yet show makers are going to super minimize it along with completely tossing aside the meaning in having Dornishmen travel north for once? I don't think so.

Season 4 will be the second half of book 3? Um, no...

lol, from GRRM's own blog, in regards to season 3.
This one will cover (roughly) the first half or thereabouts of A STORM OF SWORDS, the third novel in the series.
