I sympathise with your sentiments re spoilers Vince.
I've seen the episode in question & you'll be pleased
to know that, beyond being aware that a big dramatic event
happens involving a regular character, your (logical) assumptions
about how it'll pan out can be applied to any one of several
characters in the episode. You can rest easy the unfolding
won't be as evident as you fear.
