Lisette de Valentione: Thank you, Astrid. You are right. Countess Arabelle would be mortified to see her progeny act with such cowardice. I must honor her legacy. I...I am ready. Hortefense! If he intends to elope with another woman and live to tell the tale, he has another think coming!

Should be 'thing' instead of 'think'.

No, that is correct (albeit linguistically awkward) as it is.

In summary: Another think coming is the older of the two, dating in use to the mid-19th century, and originated in British English. Another thing coming appears to have come about in American English several decades later, probably as a result of confusion regarding the original phrase. Another thing is the more recent turn of phrase and now is more common, though it is frequently criticized.
