(Spoilers)Four Episodes Remain In Season Three

I looked up the synopsis that are given for the last three weeks worth of episodes and found the following:

S3E13 - This Land Is Your Land: Alicia is thrust into a position of leadership where she's forced to make life-changing decisions.

S3E14 - El Matadero:Alicia encounters a potential ally; Ofelia fights for survival; Nick uses his skill set for profit.

S3E15 - Things Bad Begun:Strand's motives are made clear when Nick discovers a new threat descending on the dam; Madison faces a horrifying revelation.

S3E16 - Sleigh Ride: N/A

Do you guys have any speculation or theories for what these synopsis' could be spelling for the finale?

• It seems like This Land is Your Land will be dealing with Alicia being trapped in the bunker with the Ranchers and Natives and her being thrust into a leadership role even though Crazy Dog was seen as being the quasi-leader in the last episode. What life-changing decisions could she possibly make? Depending on how long they're in there could it be that she has to kill off people to spread out the resources in the bunker? They didn't bring water in there with them so that'll be the first issue that comes up - or it could be that the bunker doesn't have enough oxygen for everyone and they'll have to kill people to conserve it?

• El Matadero's title references the bullfighters which is where the Bazar is located. The Matadero is a pretty central figure to bullfighting so could it be that we see Proctor John in this episode? Could it also be an allusion to how Nick/Troy will have to be Mataderos and bait the walkers into charging at them to save the Ranch? Who's the potential ally Alicia could have at the Ranch? Crazy Dog is already on her side for the most part, who else could it be? How could Nick use his skill set (chemistry? burglary?) for profit if he's at the Ranch with Troy? Or does he leave somehow and end up at the Bazar?

• Things Bad Begun is kinda terrifying because it's implying that Strand's motives haven't already been made clear. I thought he reunited with Madison and they were going to be friends and help each other out? His debt has been paid so he owes nothing to the Bazar, what ulterior motives could he possible have?? It also says Nick discovers a threat to the Dam so does that mean he does in fact leave the Ranch?? What happens to Alicia? What could the new threat be? If it's new it's probably not the walker herd so is it the other colonies are finally revolting to take over the Dam from Lola? What horrifying revelation could Madison discover? Nick and Strand and Taqa are with her so is it Strand's motives? Was she duped? Is it her own son?

• The last episode is titled Sleigh Ride and no description is given. Sleighs are typically used in the snow and are powered either by other people or dogs. Since we haven't seen sleigh dogs so far and probably won't be seeing any near the Dam or Mexicali or the Ranch that makes me think someone is going to be pulling the sleigh. If there's snow that means maybe winter is coming? It was around September/October when the outbreak started and 2 months have passed which would put us in November/December which is snow season but not in the region that the Ranch or the Dam or the Bazar are located in. We've seen two separate references to other prepper colonies in the north/Colorado. Could it be that after the Dam is wiped out by the new threa and the Ranch is left uninhabitable that the group heads to Colorado/north? Could we see snow in TWD universe for the first time?

So many questions! Let me know what you guys think, I'm curious to piece together what the last few episodes signify.
