Why everybody forgetting Niflheim!? The giant worm pooping Kirito and Lyfa and the Gian Guardian pet, Sword Excalibur, etc. WHY??? Taking the Niflheim part I would say that this anime will end at episode 25 and 26 being the masive epilogue of the 4th novel.
I feel that Niffelheim's developments can all be safely taken out.
-More Kirito x Lyfa - NOPE, they've cut out so many of Suguha's inner monologue that she's far, far less developed than the novel.
-Tonky - he's only important if they plan to animate Calibre chapter (which might happen for anime movie, but then it's better to explain how they got Tonky there instead) otherwise that whole scenario smack a feel of filler/side-quest.
On ep 20 itself
The fight last only 50 second after Kirito pull the dual wield Q'w 'Q that epic battle them.
Also, I LAUGHED at that scene of the leaders trying to recruit Kirito Q'w 'Q Lyfa's tsundere moment after make it even better (although they change from Kirito blushing to 'oh geez' face.
By the title of next episode, it'll cover Asuna learning of all the experiments, and should stop that part with her taking the silver key while being taken back to the cage.
I guess the latter half of the episode will cover Niffleheim, with the two exiting into Arun as the ending.

@H4T5UKI: I think it's been slated for 24 episodes, so the development on 22-23 should be quite fast.
22 will cover
-Kirito's confirmation of Asuna being there, getting the silver key, and charge in.
-After failing, it'll probably cut to commercial right when he mentions Asuna's name and Lyfa blurt out "onii-chan"
-Second half will have their reconcilation in real world, as well as Kirito vs Lyfa duel.
-The second attempt should take about 3-4 minutes (2 for the 3 members, a few seconds of the Sylph/Cait Sith shows up, and almost a minute of Kirito getting to the door, finding it locked (to add to how much of a bastard Sugou is) and end that with Kirito getting in and the rest retreating.
Ep 23 should then cover the full confrontation, Heathcliff's interference, and the Hospital's final bout + the half-a-season-later real world reunion.
Ep 24 then will be the epilogue.
'. ' That ep 22 will feel somewhat rushed, but considering how they've cut off Suguha's inner monologue a lot, it probably will fit the time if they do that again.
Ep 23 will be a roller coaster up the rage mountain and down the kickass slope (twice too)
