In the penultimate episode, Imogen decides Adilah is a good person and helps her escape. They travel to London, evading police and spies from the French DGSE and the American CIA.

They meet Patrick, chauffeur to Michael Althorp, a key figure tied to Imogen's past. Patrick takes them to Michael’s estate, where Imogen discovers shocking truths about Michael's ties to espionage and ISIS.

Adilah’s tragic end comes when Imogen, desperate for information, confronts Michael. Their confrontation turns violent, and Michael is killed by Imogen's handler, Malik. Meanwhile, Adilah is fatally shot by Patrick, but not before helping Imogen stop the attack by revealing crucial information.

Elisabeth Moss has expressed interest in continuing her role, suggesting more stories could unfold. Moss told the Collider, “First of all, Steven’s writing is just so delicious to do. I have loved working with FX. Fargo and FX were the reason why I did The Handmaid’s Tale,” the actress added, “It’s the reason I thought, ‘Oh, there’s this thing after Mad Men that’s continuing to happen in television and in streaming.’ I have loved working with them.”

Speaking about the devastating events surrounding Adilah, she previously explained to Variety, “It shouldn’t have happened. I think she truly believed she was going to save Adilah and reunite her with her daughter, and it is all she wants in the world. So to lose her and fail in that regard, I don’t think you come back from that.”

However, some fans may prefer the show to end as a complete story. The finale leaves Imogen’s personal journey open-ended, with unresolved questions about her past and future adventures.
