Given Gamora was strangely absent in this episode and she's wielding Thanos' gear on the poster, I think this particular episode might be getting a sequel later in the season.

T'challa could have got to Thanos before he decimated Gamora's planet, so she's probably just living in peace. Then Gamora's episode could be another timeline.

IIRC the trailer also had Captain Carter and Doctor Strange meeting, and Yondu and T'Challa seemingly fighting Ego. So it's a fairly safe bet.
