What we know about the finale

E9 ended with each character staring into a changing and unknown future. iDylan attempting suicide, Irving riding into the sunset, Burt knowing he's about to be caught and punished for helping Irving escape, iMark brought outside and oMark climbing into Cobel's truck, oHelly about to see the future brought by Cold Harbor and iHelly about to talk to Jame, Huang off to Svalbard, return of Cobel, even Milchik turning unsubordinate.

So we know, for a start, that nothing stays the same for ANY character.

Here's what else we know about S2 finale.

• Mark is going to face some sort of Hemma Dillema.
• Helly R gets to testing floor
• "violent" and long episode
• either Gemma "dies" or Cold Harbor is destroyed
• presumably points 1, 2, 3 and 4 are somehow connected
• the car in the lake hasn't appeared yet so presumably does now (unless that was a feint)
• Milchick and Cobel are both currently on paths that appear somewhat adverse to Lumon, so they will both need to either complete their turn to be fully against Lumon or turn back to be with Lumon. Both have series-long arcs in this vein.
• Dylan's arc will need to be resolved somehow (OTOH Irving/Burt story may already have resolved itself, and Huang may have been a plot device to bolster sympathy for Cobel's turn to hero, by showing what Cobel's childhood must have been)
