I fully agree with the post above. Also, while there was only one hint for Muscle Man's death (which was still pleasantly surprising when it was brought up in "Last Meal"), there's a good amount of hints that something--I will only know what once it occurs--is going to happen that involves Mordecai, within and outside of the show.

1. In "Survival Skills", when Mordecai and Rigby are hallucinating, there's a brief shot showing Margaret, albeit not mad, hitting CJ.

2. Rigby, in "New Years' Kiss", probably failed to prevent Mordecai from kissing a girl, who happened to be CJ. Future!Rigby did say that the only way Mordecai would be happy if he didn't kiss the girl.

3. In an interview for promoting the release of Season 3 on DVD, JG Quintel answered a question about the romance in the show:  "We’re writing it how we’d like it to be, even if some of it gets a little too real. There’s some stuff coming up where I’ve had board artists come in and actually say that they didn’t think they should board it and we had to tell them to trust us and board it. Haha. It’s going to be intense." In another interview he added, "We’re definitely changing things now, so it’s going to be crazy."

There's no evidence of what's going to happen, but there's a lot surrounding it that hints Rigby failing to prevent might be fatal for him, Mordecai, and/or the girl(s) involved. I like how we all assume something is going to happen, whether it's bad or not, but there's just no way anyone can really guess what's in store. The best thing that a show can do, in my opinion, is surprise its audience, so I'm loving the suspense of all this foreshadowing. It is going to be intense, indeed.
