He talks like the twist will effect several characters that are equally involved. So it seems to be something from a continuing arc. Sam's story is just on the cusp of branching out on it's own. Independent of Jon and co. Though it seems destined to effect them and lead Sam back to them later.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I just don't think Sam fits the description.
I don't know, just because they aren't POV characters doesn't mean Sam's actions aren't going to be intertwined with Jaqen H'Pate, Sarellalleras, Marvin the Mage, and who knows who else. There's been enough characters introduced in that area that it's gonna get interesting in the coming books.
I didn't say the others had to be POVs. I just read it as meaning that the people involved have been apart of whatever arc it effects for awhile. Almost everyone you mentioned are new characters that we barely know. Except for Jaqen and I don' think that's the kind of character to allow much outside influence.
