All the Ian/Mickey spoilers we have so far.
Huge thanks to all the wonderful people who take the time to share what they know!
Please let me know if I've missed anything :)
William H. Macy: “[Monica]'s the only person in his life he's truly sought after. So this [diagnosis] is big. But the situation results in a seismic change for the whole family. A good seismic change. Finally, by the season finale, the family's doing pretty well. Fiona and Lip and Ian have all found themselves.”
In the final scene of the episode, a police detective notifies Ian that “Mikhailo Aleksandr Milkovich” has escaped from prison. *
Written by Sheila Callaghan, who says she did not write any Gallavich scenes this season, but says that “what’s been written is beautiful”. She’s also the one who pitched Mickey coming back and solicited fan input on his middle name. *
710 - “Ride or Die” - airs 12/4/16
“Ian tries to deal with the fact that Mickey might be out of prison”. *
“Ian deals with the reality that Mickey might be out of prison and on the lam.” *
In the preview, Ian answers a flip phone he finds on the ground in front of his house. Next we see him in an empty lot; a van pulls up; two guys get out, put a bag over his head, and throw him in the back of the van. *
Noel had long hair, fake stubble, sunglasses, and a hat while filming part of this episode. * * *
Ian is in an empty lot by a warehouse. Mickey (with a new haircut) drives up and asks him if this is goodbye; Ian grabs a bag, jumps in the car, and says, “Let’s ride.” They both smile. This is likely the final scene of the episode as it’s scene #57 and they fade to black afterwards. * * * * *
Writer Sheila Callaghan cried at multiple “emotional sweet type of scene[s]” (not “heartbreaking tragic scene[s]”) during the cast table read of 710. *
Noel had a thick script at the cast table read of 710, indicating that he’s in multiple scenes. *
[NEW 12/3]: A few tidbits from people who have seen the episode:
Gallavich quotes from the episode: “Miss me?” and “I knew you’d come. I knew you’d come.” * *
Some kind of reference to “I like how he smells” from episode 411. *
“They still got it.” - @shamelessnews
“CRYING BECAUSE #SHAMELESS 710 IS PERFECT #gallavich #MickeysEscape” - @terr
“JUST WAIT I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT” - @terr
“on a scale of 1-10, how pleased will we be?” “literally a million” - @terr
“is Cam’s acting back to normal? Meaning, does he actually look like he wants to be there?” “omg YES” - @terr
“is it the best episode of the whole show?” “haven't seen 711/712 so I won't know...” - @terr
“noely noel just makes cam better and he was noely af” - @terr
“if you love gallavich this will almost entirely make dealing with seasons 6 and 7 worth it“ - @terr
“my soul has been revived so i am aiming to do the same for all gallavich shippers” - @terr
“you might also like Trevor in this episode, sooo...” - @terr
“I think Ian will have to take a big risk in deciding who is best for him” - @terr
711 - “Happily Ever After” - airs 12/11/16
In scene 14, Ian and Mickey steal a car and ditch someone named Damon who Mickey says is “gonna get us arrested or killed. Better just us.” *
712 - “Requiem for a Slut” - airs 12/18/16
“The Gallaghers grapple with the loss of one of their own.” *
Neither Fiona nor Ian are listed in the episode description. *
Sides from previous episodes give hints about who the loss might be. *
Some fans say that Cameron and the actor who plays Trevor are in this episode but Noel isn’t; I couldn’t find the original sources for that info. *
IMDB’s episode description says, “Ian is a married man now,” but anyone with an IMDB account can update episode descriptions. This is the only episode of any show that this particular user has ever updated, and no other site has that info in their description. It’s also way more specific than episode descriptions usually get. Take it with a HUGE grain of salt; I personally don’t believe it. * (thanks to dylanchristinee for the heads up!)

Misc spoilers:
“Ian’s future could also include going back to the past. Even though his ex Mickey (Noel Fisher) is currently in jail, Monaghan isn’t ruling out a reunion. “Mickey was someone that he loved very much and holds dear in his heart … but Ian has had to emotionally distance himself from the relationship so that he can just carry on with his life. But you know how those two are with each other. [If] they see each other, there’s going to be chemistry, and there’s going to be stuff that happens. The possibility is always out there.” -Cam in THR. The interview was posted on 10/2/16, which was after the cast table read for 710 on 9/26/16. Not sure when the interview was given, though, so this may just be spec on Cam’s part (but hopefully not!).

“A Showtime rep says negotiations are currently underway with the cast for an eighth season.” *
Thanks so much to everyone who shared! Please let me know if I’ve missed anything. :)
THR hit the Chicago set of the Showtime dramedy to get the scoop on season seven and what's next.
“With that being said, Ian’s future could also include going back to the past. Even though his ex Mickey (Noel Fisher) is currently in jail, Monaghan isn’t ruling out a reunion. “Mickey was someone that he loved very much and holds dear in his heart … but Ian has had to emotionally distance himself from the relationship so that he can just carry on with his life.
