It doesn't seem like Historia knows anything about the walls or conspiracies, so the only lead our heroes have is that Lord Reiss (who I thought looks suspiciously like the mediator from the meeting that took place after the Corps captured Annie) MAY know something.

I imagine we'll be seeing some human vs human fighting soon, maybe some undercover spying now that the Survey Corps are at odds with the Military Police. I imagine Levi and maybe Jean and Historia will do some spying, meanwhile Eren will be training with Hanji. I don't know what happened to the Ape Titan, so I can only assume Eren will encounter him for himself soon, and Connie needs to get his revenge, too, right?

I predict a lot beloved characters will be getting killed left and right very soon because they are seriously all that are left, all the second tiers are prety much dead. I'm really excited for what's to come.
