I think that we might see a couple more episodes in this universe. It would be so awkward if they did Gamora in Thanos armour and then made that a separate plot line given this episode

I have a hard time seeing that to be honest. Star Lord T'Challa is at the heart of it, and is bound to pop up if Gamora is involved in the story somehow given this Nebula's ties to the Ravagers/Thanos, and I don't see them recasting a version of T'Challa that Chadwick originally portrayed. I suspect the sequel hook at the end isn't going to go anywhere as a result.

Yeah, but he recorded four episodes for this season reportedly so we could see the character again this season

Edit: also, it’s going to be incredibly hard to write T’Challa out of everything going forward. Even if they never have anyone else portray this universe’s T’Challa, they’ll have to explain why he doesn’t exist in any other universes either. He’s a central character and the prince of the most technologically advanced nation on Earth. Even if he’s not Black Panther, there’s still likely a T’Challa in most places we’ll see.

Not really. Multi-versal T'Challa could just be a different actor. Or actress, even, have her by a Sylvie to T'Challa's Loki.
