I'm not going to make any highly specific predictions, because this anime has been admirably unpredictable enough that I have little faith in them (at least on an episode by episode basis).
However, one general prediction:
A character of some importance dies this episode. More likely to be an important "normal human" character (i.e. Kamijou, Madoka's mom, Hitomi) than one of the magical girls. This anime probably needs another shoe to drop this episode in order to maintain its dark tone. Been a few episodes now since the last character death, and Madoka Magica might start to seem too tame to some of its fans if it continues to avoid complete character casualties.
And now a word from my avatar...
Bald Guy: You have to see the big picture. People will die. Billions!
Clown: People will die. Urobuchi is a man of his word.
Creepy Mascot: Contract with me, Madoka!
