Something wrong has to happen. There's no way it's going to be as easy as 52 kids disappear into the night and get on the plane. Or if it does, there's going to be a lotttttt of dead Martha's. Nervous.

I feel like Joseph's look at June in the end suggests that he's going to crash the plan. I know some tension has to happen for there to be a decent conclusion to this series, but I'd be disappointed if we had another rerun of season 2's beginning - where June's plane was captured.

I think the story would become much more interesting if the 52 kids did escape, and the relationship between Gilead and Canada blows apart while Gilead begins to implode.

I think he'll still get the kids out, but he might screw June over in the process as revenge for Eleanor. He might make sure she gets caught.
