I wrote a long post about my theory of what's going to happen before. So I am going to give the short version.
After episode 2, after … morethe survivors has been captured by Carver. I thought episode 3 and 4 is going to focus on the group's stay in Carver's camp. Clem will interact with her group and the people living in the camp. It was a missed opportunity. Episode 3 should have been about how life was in Carver's camp and the ending should have been a lead up to the rebellion that was going to happen in episode 4. With a title as Amid the Ruins, I thought the ruin was Carver's camp. Since Carver's camp has been destroyed, the remaining survivors make the long journey through the cold harsh winter to Wellington.
The "No Going Back" title card was very eerie. The "Amid The Ruins" one creeped me out too. I was especially creeped out when someone found that No Going Back was originally called "Better To Sleep". I wish the 400 days choices actually mattered in season 2. They could've done so many things with these characters.
I remember writing a really long post about how Clem was going to escape Carver's capture at the end of episode 3 (which did actually happen… more) and she'd reunite with Luke (whom found a new group) and they'd get ready for war to take down Carver in Episode 4. Got that idea since it looked like Clem was putting war paint on her face in the title card. I also thought the 400 Days characters who DIDN'T go with Tavia would fight alongside Clem's group to take Carver down.
I thought Episode 5 was also going to deal with an aftermath after Clementine done something in Episode 4. The "No Going Back" title made me think that. As well as that really eerie title card.
That could be what happened. Maybe this season was originally going to be too dark. I also feel like the "birth" scene was too dark too maybe? Someone found "Rebecca_bloody_towel" or something in the files.
I thought that from the episode slide XD I think the birth scene was supposed to be more graphic with just Clem being available to help Rebecca. This could've been a perfect moment for Clem to have a flashback to when Christa went into labor.
I also wish we had a flashback in episode 5 where you play as Clementine right after she shoots/leaves Lee until she reunites with Christa and omid outside of Savannah.

Here is what I was expecting from Season 2 by the second episode:
Carver was going to live until the last episode
The baby was going to be used to push Carver to the edge and to signify moral dilemma. If anyone has seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, I saw the cabin group as the Enterprise, Carver and the Howe's group as Khan, and (when the baby is revealed to be Alvin's) Rebecca/Alvin's lives be similar to Kirk's life; the one thing that pushes Carver/Khan to their insanity and, ultimately, their death.
Interaction with the 400 days group and such interaction determining who helps you escape and, indirectly, who lives
Becca was going to be a plot device used to show what can happen to Clem if she allows the state of the world to consume her mentally. If there is one thing that I can say I'm upset didn't happen, this is it. I know Sarah was used to show what Clem could have been like if over sheltered. Becca could have been used to show a completely opposite extreme. Even after I found out that the short haired chick wasn't Becca, I still hoped for her and Clem to interact heavily. Carver pushed for Clem over Becca because while Becca may have been bigger, taller, stronger, and/or old, Clem had nerves, tenacity, and (most importantly) Clem has gone through pain and suffering, putting her in a mental state more capable of relating and executing of Carver's vision.
Kenny was going to represent old habits and ways thus trying to pull the old Clementine out. The positives: Clem's old spirit of hope could return. The negatives: Clem's old nervous ways could return. This would result in the final episode Clem choosing between the old (Kenny) or the new (Luke).
Rebecca and Alvin would have represent what it would be like if Clem's parents were alive (after we get to know them more, of course)
Our choices would determine whether Sarah would adapt and survive or she would regress and die
Clem would have a mental breakdown at some point (not the cult stuff, but just her loosing it when the Kenny/Luke bickering pushes her over)
Christa's fate would be explored... sigh
Wellington would either be revealed to be nonexistent or just an area where there are a bunch of shantytowns
I enjoyed Season 2 btw, this is just what I was being led on to by the time episode 2 rolled in. While I liked it, oh man there were so many possible ways it could have outdone Season 1.

I also remember reading that the ruins would be Carver's camp. I would've preferred this over what we got.
It could be a little complicated at first. Tell me how it goes.

gruesome!, it looked like Clem might have had to deliver the baby,imagine screwing that up xD

The possibilities were endless. I wonder why Telltale didn't decide to go with any of these. I'm sure they could've pulled it off.
