my thoughts went in the wild wild direction of him maybe proposing to her - but it ends either in her death or her going back to Rota without him with perhaps him breaking it off because of something unforgivable she does, thus setting us up for angsty Tony and his lost love for S9.

That would be awfully quick, he only met her a few weeks ago!

As I said to rigel_kent, I'm reluctant to speculate anymore, think I'll just sit back and let it play out. Either way, I don't see EJ as a long-term influence on Tony, whether she dies or disappears for some other reason.

Wouldn't worry too much if I were you...
